Power Controller - TMP-1
(sold separately)
Torque motors are designed to provide high starting torque and sloping characteristics (torque is highest at zero speed and decreases steadily with increasing speed), and operate over a wide speed range. They also provide stable operation, especially in the low speed range or under a locked rotor condition. Torque motors are available in frame sizes from 2.36 in. (60 mm) up to 3.54 in. (90 mm) and support single-phase 110/115 VAC and single-phase 220/230 VAC power supplies.
Features of Torque Motors
- Torque can be adjusted by changing the voltage applied to the motor.
- High starting torque and sloping characteristics.
- Usable over the entire range of speed - torque characteristics.
- Provides stable torque in a locked state or at low speed.
- Functions as a brake when the motor can be rotated in the reverse direction.
- If the load is constant, the speed can be changed by adjusting the applied voltage.
- If the applied voltage is constant, the speed changes when the load changes.
*With the power controller TMP-1, the applied voltage, and consequently the torque, can be changed by adjusting the torque setting voltage or each torque potentiometer.
Speed Can Vary Widely
The motor torque is approximately proportional to the square of the voltage, allowing easy speed control simply by changing the voltage of the power supply.
Suitable for Winding Applications
In an application where and object is released continuously at a constant speed and wound up with constant tension, the torque must be doubled and the speed must be halved if the diameter of the winding spool is doubled.
Locked Rotor Operation
Unlike induction motors or reversible motors, torque motors are designed to provide stable torque even under stall conditions or at very low speeds (nearly stalling). They are suitable for pushing applications that require static torque, or for loads that are usually under a locked rotor condition but are under stall conditions at the end of processes. The motors can operate continuously at 60 VAC or less. When used at voltage above 60 VAC, the motors are rated for limited duty. The motor has a 5-minute rating at 115 VAC.
NOTE: When using a motor in a locked rotor condition, the output torque becomes very large. Do not exceed the permissible torque of the gearhead. Also, ensure that the work does not hit an object and stop, since this can cause damage to the gearhead due to shock.
Use as a Brake
By using the motor in the braking region of the speed-torque characteristics, it can serve as a brake. Constant tension operation can be achieved by applying a DC voltage.
The compact design simplifies handling and enables the drive unit of the machine to be mounted in a small area.
Bearing Life
A motor's life is determined by its bearing. We adopted a high-performance bearing grease to lubricate this important component. As a result, the bearings of the motes last twice as long as our conventional bearings.
Protective Earth Terminal on the Motor
Long Life, Low Noise GN-S Gearhead
Adopting new technologies and structure, the "long life, low noise GN-S gearhead" achieves a long rated life of 10,000 hours, twice as long as the level of a conventional gearhead. Also, the gearhead is designed for low noise.
TMP-1 Power Controller
A new power controller developed for Oriental Motor's torque motors that allows for easy adjustment of torque. A perfect choice for winding applications, push-motion mechanisms and other situations where torque must be adjusted.
Motor Torque can be adjusted with ease
You can set/adjust motor torque using the internal torque potentiometer of the power controller, etc.
Selectable Torque setting method
Torque can be set using one of three methods according to your needs. You can also change torque between two levels by switching between the internal potentiometer and an external potentiometer/voltage.
Full Range of Functions
- Two torque levels can be set by the internal potentiometer and an external potentiometer/voltage
- Alarm output function (detection of an open thermal protector)
- Instantaneous bi-directional operation by CW/CCW signal switching
- Switching of signal input logic between sink and source
Conforms to Major Safety Standards and Global Power Supply Voltages
Torque Motors are recognized by UL and CSA, and certified under the China Compulsory Certification System (CCC System). CE Marking is used in accordance with the Low Voltage Directive. Also, our wide range of products includes those that meet the power supply voltages of major countries in Asia, North America and Europe.
RoHS-Compliant
The World K Series features models that conform to the RoHS Directive that prohibits the use of six chemical substances including lead and cadmium.
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive:
Directive on restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (2002/95/EC).
The RoHS Directive prohibits the use of six chemical substances in electrical and electronic products sold in the EU member states. The six controlled substances are: lead, hexavalent chromium, cadmium, mercury and two specific brominated flame-retardants (PBB and PBDE).
