Midwest Motion Introduces New Gearmotor

July 19, 2007

Midwest Motion Products released a new DC Gear Motor, the Model No. MMP TM55-24V GP52-124. Accepting any 24 Volt DC source, including battery power, this gear motor measures just 2.14" in diameter, by 7.7" long, and has a keyed output shaft of 12mm diameter by 25mm long.

According to Midwest Motion's press release, mounting is accomplished with four "face mount" M5 threaded holes, equally spaced on a 40mm diameter bore count.The output of this reversible gearmotor is rated for 124 in.-lbs. continuous torque, at 37 RPM, and 444 in.-lbs. peak.

Despite its compact size, and weight of less than four pounds, the gearmotor requires just 3.5 Amps at 24 Volts DC to generate its full load torque. Motor windings for 12, 36, 48, 60 & 90 Volt Inputs are also available.

This unique design is rated at an "IP 54" protection level for operation in harsh environments. Variable speed is accomplished with the compatible Speed Control, Model MMP 25A-24V, or MMP 20A-24V-RSP.

Typical options available from the company include servo motors with integral optical encoders, fail-safe brakes,analog tachometers, and planetary gearheads, with standard ratios ranging from 3:1 to 2653:1 standard or low backlash precision gearing available. Motor winding options include 12V, 36V, 48V, 60V and 90 Volts DC.

The company offers a variety of standard ancillary equipment including DC power supplies, DC servomotors, PWM servo amplifiers, motor speed controls, linear actuators and a wide variety of DC gear-motors. Custom motor shaft and mounting configurations are also available. Typical applications include battery operated motors and E.V. drives,medical, mobility/accessibility products, robotics and automation including (military) Unmanned Guided Vehicles,semiconductor processing equipment, actuators, packaging and labeling machines, metalworking machines, and other applications requiring precise motion control.
