Inmoco has extended its servo motor range into hygienic processing environments with the introduction of the S-Series of stainless-steel servo motors from Cleveland Motion Controls (CMC). The energy-efficient S-Series is designed specifically for sterile or high-pressure wash-down environments found in food processing, beverage and pharmaceutical applications.
The design of these motors follows extensive research by CMC, the company having worked closely with key customers and engineers in hygienic industries to develop and introduce the 300-series stainless-steel housings and other external components to ensure maximum protection (full IP67 compliance with associated shaft seals for food grade application) and corrosion resistance for sterile and wash-down applications. The S-Series units are compact motors that incorporate CMC's MDM high-energy brushless servo technology.
Manufactured in standard metric frame sizes, the motors are designed to deliver a high torque density. This is realised due to a design that integrates cut-core, segmented stator lamination technology in a high-efficiency heat-transfer capsule, with high slot-fill windings and a high flux neodymium magnet array. The S-Series servo motors feature strain-relieved cables with stripped ends and ready-to-install connectors of the user's choice.
Feedback options include encoder line counts up to 5,000ppr, available for all configurations, as well as optional resolver feedback on all configurations. Thermostats on the motor windings are a standard feature on the S-Series motors and a standard motor brake is also available across the entire product line. In addition, customised mounting and shaft options are available for all supported configurations. The S-Series units offer users and OEMs the benefit of complete conformance to UL/CUL and CE standards across the entire product line.
