|
| Oriental
Motor actively develops products conforming to global
safety standards such as UL, CSA and EN standards
and the CE marking program. For use in applications
where the motor will be subjected to dust or water
spray Oriental Motor offers positioning, speed
control and fixed speed solutions with IP65 Rated
protection or higher.
Available in a wide range of frame sizes
our IP65 rated closed loop step motors, IP65 rated
brushless DC speed control motors and IP67 rated AC
induction motors provide the dust and water protection
and performance required for your applications.

 |
|
POSITIONING
The NEW IP65 Rated AlphaStep closed loop stepping motors
offer IP65 rated dust and water splash protection
for Oriental Motor's revolutionary hybrid stepping motor
systems. These
systems prevent the loss of synchronism by constantly
monitoring the rotor position and correcting for missteps
before they occur.
The AlphaStep is ideal for applications that
require short, quick, precise movement as well as
wet environments.
Integrated driver/controller
type also available.
Available in 2.36 in and 3.35 in frames
sizes. |
 |
| SPEED
CONTROL
Available in 1/25 HP (30W), 1/12 HP (60W)
and 1/6 HP (120W) output power.
|
The NEW BLF
Series brushless DC speed control system features
compact size, high output, flat torque, excellent
speed stability and energy-saving design in a powerful
package.
The BLF series adopts a new design
for its motor, gearhead and driver. In addition to
achieving a maximum motor speed of 4000 r/min,
the BLF provides easy operation via a detachable
digital operator and offers a wide range of
functions. A number of motor variations are
available to meet your application needs.
|
The BLF Series
offers a round shaft, parallel shaft gearheads
and flat hollow shaft gearheads. |
|
|
FIXED SPEED
The FPW Series
motors are watertight, dust-resistant geared induction
motors rated for IP67 protection. They can be used where
they are periodically splashed or washed with water. The construction provides
dependable resistance against dust and water by using
a specially constructed cable outlet, oil seals on
the output shaft, an O-ring in the case/gearhead junction
and no external screws.
A special coating and a stainless steel shaft
provide better anti-corrosion protection. The paint is also water
repellent.
Available in 1/30 HP (25W), 1/19 HP
(40W), 1/12 HP (60W) and 1/8 HP (90W) output power. |

Q: What is the meaning of
IP65?
A: IEC60529 and EN60034-5 (=IEC60034-5) classify the
dust-resistance and waterproofing into grades. The IP rating
represents the degree of protection for "dust" and water. The
first number following the "IP" refers to the degree of protection against
access to hazardous parts and solid foreign objects (dust). The
second number refers to the degree of protection against the ingress
of water. The test methods are shown below.
| 
An "X" is used when one of the two protection
classes is not specified in the name (e.g. IPX5 or IP4X) |
|
First Number = Degree of Protection against access to hazardous
parts and against solid foreign objects.
