Siemens Drive Technologies Division is adding two frame sizes to its range of built-in torque motors in the lower output range, thus extending the applications of the Simotics T motor series. Thanks to its more compact shape, the new frame sizes BG50 und BG60 can be used in confined spaces and are available with natural ventilation or water cooling.
In conjunction with the Sinamics S120 drive system, the built-in torque motors can be used as direct drives for rotary axes that require maximum precision and high torque. Thanks to the compact dimensions and high control stability, they are often used to replace motor/gear combinations. Common fields of application are rolling drives, rotary tables and tool turrets in machine tools. The low-speed-wound permanent magnet three phase synchronous motors achieve high dynamic response and accuracy of positioning.
