Rotary Motors

Our Rotary Motor Designs are low-cogging, toothless kit motors that can range from less than 1" to over 18" in diameter. Design and manufacturing steps include computer-aided design, prototype development, performance verification and environmental testing. In optical and magnetic data storage systems, this rotary motor will provide the highest value in an exceptionally small package.

The Airex low cogging brushless DC motor line offers fine position and rate control over a wide dynamic range. In the market, our low cogging motors are used in semi- conductor processing, commercial scanning, centrifuge, inspection and PCB component assembly and inspection equipment. These motors are designed for applications where virtually vibration free operation is required. They can essentially eliminate the need for lengthy, expensive noise reduction programs and provide exceptionally low velocity ripple. In open loop mode, velocity ripple of .01 - 1% have been routinely achieved.

Airex manufactures high reliability motors and magnetic components for space, medical, defense and commercial use. The development of "zig-zag" type windings (shown at right) provides exceptionally low velocity ripple for low-torque applications, allowing Airex designs to lead the industry in super low-cogging motors for high precision rotational movement. Our manufacturing systems are approved to ISO 9001 as well as military, space and many company-specific, commercial requirements. These motors deliver precise, repeatable performance over a wide range of applications.

This Airex RBL Series has many advantages over conventional motor technologies, including custom designs. The super low cogging stator designs allow exceptionally smooth operation. The back EMF wave shape is compatible with sinusoidal commutation, resulting in unsurpassed system performance. The high peak-to-continuous force ratio and the very low inductance typical in these designs allow exceptionally fast response. Additionally, high performance rare-earth magnets will not demagnetize under temperature extremes.
