Bühler Motor, has developed a sub-fractional motor, which soon will play a very important role in medical technology. In spite of it’s small size, this motor puts out considerably more power than others in its class.
The electric motor, which has a diameter of 75 mm, already has successful applications in the automotive industry, where it is used to control individual axle torque in all wheel drive vehicles. The requirements for this application are: Very high torque achieved in the smallest of spaces.
Florian Butzmann, Vice President of Sales for General Industries at Buehler Motor GmbH: “To meet these requirements, we developed a special motor. It has extraordinarily high torque, producing the perfect output needed in medical appliances, such as height adjustments in hospital beds, chair lifts, or electrical wheel chairs.”
The four-pole stator design creates extraordinarily high output of this sub-fractional motor. Tests show ouput torques as much as 50% higher than those of two-pole motors.
Other advantages: The motor, manufactured in Germany, has already proven itself and is used at a rate of more than one million pieces annually in automotive applications. The technology has undergone long-term testing and adheres to the highest quality standards.
Moreover, it offers competitive pricing, since the motor is already in high-volume production. This means that even with high order quantities, this motor offers economical advantages.
