High Torque Brushless Motors for Factory Automation
Brushless motors are ideal for factory automation applications such as conveyors that carry materials to different locations for various processes. A new 300 W motor and dedicated single-phase and three-phase drivers have been added to both the advanced 
as well as the simple-to-use 
. The new motor is offered in a round-shaft configuration or with a variety of gear options for high torque applications.
400 W parallel shaft helical gear motors, foot mount parallel shaft helical gear motors, and right-angle hollow shaft hypoid gear motors have been introduced for the BLE2 Series.

When to Use BLE2 Series or BMU Series?
|
- When AC power supply is desired
- Conveyors that require tight speed regulation
- Applications that require high torque but have limited space
- BLE2 Series is an ideal replacement for BLF Series
- BMU Series is an ideal replacement for BLU Series
|
For applications such as AGVs or AMRs, brushless motors with DC drivers, such as the compact 
and the high power 
, are recommended.
Motor Selection for Factory Automation
Factory automation involves a mix of different motion control applications to achieve efficient production for manufacturers. Stop accuracy, speed-torque characteristics, duty cycle, IP rating, and network capabilities are some factors that determine the best motor for the application.
