Capper (Filling Machine) - Cost Cutting Without Torque Limiter

Capper (Filling Machine) - Cost Cutting Without Torque Limiter

External torque limiters or magnetic clutches are required to prevent damage to the cap due to over-tightening but can make application design more complicated and increase production costs.

Issue: Making a Simple and Inexpensive Capper That Does Not Use a Torque Limiter

Capper or Filling Machine with a Costly Torque Limiter

Equipment for tightening the caps of various containers to the appropriate torque after filling with products, which use an external torque limiter (magnetic clutch).

Application: Bottle cap tightening


Challenge:

  • External parts such as torque limiters (magnetic clutches) are required to prevent damage to the cap due to over-tightening, which complicates the entire equipment and increases production costs

Solution: Brushless Motor BLE2 Series Reduces the Need for Torque Limiters by Utilizing the Torque Limiting Function

BLE2 Brushless DC Motor and Driver with Torque Limiting Function

The need for torque limiters (magnetic clutches) can be reduced by using the Brushless Motor BLE2 Series with torque limiting function. No external parts are required, which simplifies equipment design and lowers production costs.

Equipped with Electrical Torque Limiter "Torque Limiting Function"

The torque limiting function allows for setting the motor so that it does not generate more than the desired value of torque.

 




 

Output Power

30 W, 60 W, 120 W, 200 W, 400 W

Torque Limiting Setting Range*1

0~300 %

Number of points for a limiting value can be set

16 Points

Torque Limiting Error*2

±10 %

80~4000 r/min

*1 The value when the rated torque value is 100 %
*2 An error of approximately ±10 % maximum (at rated torque and rated speed) may occur between the setting value and generated torque due to the setting speed, power supply voltage and motor cable extension distance.
*3 The BXII Series with a speed control range of 2~4000 r/min is also available.


Maximum of 16 torque limiting values can be set
