The BLU Series consists of models with an output rating of 1/38, 1/19 or 1/8 HP (20, 40 or 90 W), all combining an energy-saving, slim, compact brushless motor with a panel-installation type driver. Choose a parallel shaft gearhead or a hollow shaft flat gearhead that saves installation space in your equipment.
The motor can be connected simply by plugging the connector into the driver. There is no need for troublesome wiring. The motor speed can be set using the potentiometer on the front panel easily.
Start/stop, rotation direction switching and instantaneous stop can be controlled using external signals. You can also switch between sink logic and source logic in accordance with the output type of your controller.
The motor is protected against water intrusion, should water come in contact with the motor. The motor must not be washed with water and is not suitable for use in an environment where it constantly comes in contact with water.
The brushless motor has a permanent magnet assembled into the rotor, so it produces low secondary loss. At an output of 1/8 HP (90 W), for example, the BLU Series is approximately 50% less than the power consumption of an inverter-controlled AC motor. The BLU Series will contribute to the energy-saving operation of your factory automation equipment.

A permanent magnet is assembled into the rotor, so the brushless motor can produce high power from its slim body. The compact unit allows for downsizing of applications.
The high-strength gearhead is designed to withstand high-speed revolutions. The rated life of the gearhead is 10000 hours, which is twice as long as that of our previous gearhead.
The driver adjusts the current flow to the motor by comparing the feedback signal of the motor speed against the set speed, in order to stabilize the motor speed. This mechanism ensures stable driving speeds from low to high, even in situations where the load condition fluctuates. With the BLU Series the speed regulation is ±0.5%.
In addition to feedback control, the BLU Series adopts a unique motor structure design to achieve a wide speed variation range. The motor of the BLU Series can be operated at varying speeds of 100 to 2000 r/min (speed ratio 20:1).




Space-Saving and Low-Cost
The output shaft can be coupled directly to your drive shaft without using a coupling. The flexible installation modes, such as installation on either the front or rear face or by using the center shaft, allows you to reduce the size and installation space of your equipment. Sine no shaft-coupling parts are needed, the parts cost and assembly man-hours will also decrease.
High Permissible Torque
While the parallel shaft gearhead lets the permissible torque saturate at high gear ratios, the hollow shaft flat gearhead enables the motor torque to be utilized to its maximum capability.
