Powerful, versatile and accredited. MINIMOTOR
With the improved range of IP67 geared motors, Minimotor has obtained significant new results in terms of operating safety, reliability during use, and extended applications of use.
Models in the range, which have been organised into two worm versions (MCF and PCF) and two coaxial versions (ACF and PAF), with power levels that range on average from 35 to 130 W and maximum torque which goes from 5 to 20 Nm, underwent IP67 level inspections in accordance with EN 60529. The tests, which were performed at the IMQ laboratories in Milan, all produced positive results.
These mini geared motors, which are increasingly appreciated by customers who want increased performance levels along with reduced consumption and minimum bulk, stand out due to their technical characteristics and performance qualities, aimed at guaranteeing overall optimisation of production lines. Some of the details which stand out include:
• the absence of motor cooling fins to prevent the accumulation of dirt and facilitate relevant cleaning operations
• the use of exclusive oil seals in special fluorinated rubber to provide a perfect seal and increased resistance to high temperatures
• closure bolts and screws in stainless steel
• the use of anti-corrosion and non-toxic paints
• the possibility, on request, of constructing the output shaft in stainless steel
The success of the IP67 range has led to Minimotor extending the model package, by identifying new accessory functions, and preparing models with increased power to deal with the most serious situations in complete safety.
In the PCF series a new geared motor can be provided (see photo), as an alternative, with an encoder (2 channels, 512 or 50 pulses) or with 24 V DC or 220 V AC electromagnetic brakes.
Minimotor also offers the possibility of providing motors with increased power compared with the standard level in the PCF series. A motor with these characteristics was constructed on the request of a customer who, working in tuna processing, needed special performance levels in addition to special protective paints capable of resisting extreme conditions, such as hot sun, bad weather, and salty seawater.
