Motors for agricultural automation
03 January 2023
UK FRACTIONAL horsepower electric motor manufacturer, Parvalux, has launched a new range of brushed permanent magnet DC motors intended for use in agricultural sector robotics and automation.
With the agricultural industry looking for ways to increase output, improve efficiency and reduce waste, robotics and and automation are becoming an integral part of farming and food production processes. Addressing this market, the cost-effective BRx42 PMDC offers high levels of reliability and performance. With two stack length models available, the BRx42-25 and BRx42-40 feature a wide range of operating voltages, speeds and torque in a relatively small housing.
The 2-pole bi-directional BRx42 is housed within a zinc metal enclosure and steel tube sealed to IP54 (with IP67 on request) protecting it from dust particles and water spray. The unit is capable of operating between -30 and +100°C, with an ambient temperature of +40°C. Designed with a mechanical commutation through a multi bar commutator to provide a long lifetime, it also features ball bearings at the front and rear of the motor, with low noise and vibration resistance. The motor can support custom shaft designs and special windings as required.
The BRx42-25 has a stack length of 19mm (overall motor length 70mm) and the BRx42-40 stack length 34mm (overall motor length 85mm), delivering 0.038 and 0.057Nm, respectively.
The motors can be combined with Parvalux encoders, controllers, and gearheads as part of a modular system.
