TG8260 Brushless Ring Motor for Direct Drive Applications

ThinGap LLC, a leader in high power density DC motors, today announced the TG8260 Brushless DC Ring Motor for direct drive motor applications. The TG8260 delivers smooth and controllable high speed/high shaft power without a gearbox. “The TG8260 ring motor’s zero cogging capabilities are ideal for direct drive applications such as semiconductor equipment, robotics, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)”, said Shelly Ward, Director of Application Engineering, ThinGap LLC. “The TG8260 adds a second powerful ring motor to ThinGap’s industry leading line of high efficiency coreless brush and brushless motors. The TG8260 supplies 2,075 oz-in. peak torque and 1,534 watts continuous power from a 2.03” length by 8.386” diameter package that weighs only 45 oz. Very smooth and controllable acceleration and deceleration have been realized by eliminating hyteresis and cogging. System efficiency of up to 80% can be achieved with the TG8260.The TG8260 provides a low profile platform that is quiet, cool running, and conserves energy with a gyroscopic effect that reduces vibration. Also ideal for such applications as blowers, rotary positioning, ducted fan and vehicles. In vehicle propulsion systems, the TG8260 may be mounted inside the wheel hub, which dramatically reduces space requirements and weight.
