NEMA 34 Series Brushless DC Motors Feature High Operating Speed and Quiet Operation

BEI Kimco Magnetics, a company of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), Inc., has introduced the NEMA DIN34 series brushless DC motors. These 3.4-inch diameter motors are the latest addition to the company’s growing family of motion control products.                 The NEMA DIN 34 Series offer all the benefits of brushless DC technology and are available in three standard frame lengths of 2.0-, 2.6-, and 3.2- inches with rear shaft extension as a provision for encoder mounting. Typical operating speeds range from 6,000 RPM to 18,000 RPM, with continuous stall (and peak) torque ratings of 50 oz.-in. (120 oz.-in.), 100 oz.-in. (250 oz.-in.), and 135 oz.-in. (350 oz.-in.) respectively. Other torques and operating speeds are also available in modified configurations.                The typical “inside-out” brushless DC (BLDC) motor provides greater output power, higher operating speeds and cleaner, quieter operation than its brush-type counterparts.  BLDC motors are ideal for sterile environments - since there are no brushes, no particulate is discharged. Because of their inherent reliability and long-term service life, BLDC motors can significantly contribute to lower overall cost of operation and maintenance.
