Parts Handling Machine Example

Here is a system designed to move parts of various sizes using standard motor and driver technologies from the same product family. The system is comprised of several AlphaStep closed-loop stepper motors and linear/rotary actuators. Watch this video to learn how these individual products work together to achieve a greater goal.

Design and Basic Technology for Watertight, Dust-Resistant Brushless Motors

The role of brushless motors is poised to increase for watertight, dust-resistant applications due to their size and efficiency benefits compared to AC induction motors. This white paper explains the expanded brushless motors lineup of the BMU Series and BLE2 Series, and how they meet stringent IP66/IP67 dust and water-resistant ratings.

Exposed components are reduced.
O-ring is used for the seal.
High corrosion-resistant coating and motor design are adopted.
OM's own aging degradation test ensures that water-resistant performance is maintained over time.
