LARC series motors are now available to greater than 50" (1,270mm) diameter, with axial heights as low as 0.4" (10mm). As a motor kit, the LARC motors can be integrated into existing mechanical systems to handle large diameters where only low torque is required. The motors can be used as moving coil or moving magnet systems for limited angle or full rotary applications. The motors exhibit zero cogging in an extremely low profile package and have no attractive magnetic force when energized. LARC series motors are ideal for precision positioning with the use of a high resolution encoder or for continuous scanning in medical devices, computer component manufacturing, or optical inspection.
Applimotion is bringing this technology to new applications by offering custom sizes in six to eight week lead time, from customer requirements to actual samples. LARC motors operate from traditional three-phase brushless DC or brushless AC drives with speeds ranging from 0.1rpm to 1,000rpm. Hall devices are a standard option.
