DC motors offer compact construction and high power

New from Papst is the BCI range of motors featuring compact construction where high power is required. Offering an excellent price-performance relationship and high customisation potential, the motors are the ideal solution for a wide range of industrial applications.

Models BCI6325 (48W) and BCI6355 (90W) are 63mm diameter motors with body lengths of 95mm and 125mm respectively. The mechanically commutated, internal rotor motors offer an operating efficiency of 80% and are designed for 12, 24, 40 or 60VDC operation.

Exhibiting durability and reliability, the motors utilise precision ball bearings with lifetime lubrication, and may be orientated in any position. Service life for the units is 3000 hours. The motors operate over a wide speed range (at rated load) up to 3,300 rpm, equally they are well suited to continuous low speed operation. Indeed, the units offer advantages in applications where high starting torque and/or low operating speeds are required.

The BCI motors are bi-directional and Papst can fit worm, spur or planetary gear boxes as required. Similarly the units can easily be combined with an encoder for high accuracy speed control applications. A safety brake can also be supplied.

Insulated to class B, Papst's BCI 63mm motors offer protection to IP40. Higher levels of protection are available to order. The motors will prove useful in a wide range of applications including industrial automation, handling technology, mechanical and system engineering, chemical and medical technology, laboratory equipment, house/climate, textile and printing technology. Additionally, where sufficient quantities are required Papst is able to provide customised versions for specific applications.
