Baumüller Introduce a New Generation of High Torque Servo Motors

— FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE —

Bloomfield, CT - More and more customers are asking for direct drive solutions instead of
conventional motor-gearbox combinations. For this reason, Baumüller is introducing its new
generation of DST torque motors at the Hanover Messe 2010. These synchronous motors offer a
higher power density, in addition to a wider
range of available speeds and torques.

Today’s machine concepts face stringent

requirements. In addition to increased
productivity and availability and better energy
efficiency, improvements in cost effectiveness
over the machine’s entire life cycle are
expected. However, these goals are not met in
the case of maintenance-intensive gearboxes
and low-efficiency standard motors or hydraulic
systems.

Baumüller’s new line of torque motors score with

a significantly better power density and an
extended range of speeds. In addition, the torque range of the existing product line has been
significantly increased. Extension of the motor series to include a 400-size motor means that, for
the first time, rated torques up to 20,000 Nm and maximum torques up to 32,000 Nm are
possible. This not only opens up new application areas but also significantly increases
productivity in existing applications. The new product line also requires less installation space,
thereby reducing the contact surface for machines. Because torque motors have practically no
residual torque, the customer can improve the smooth running characteristics and, thus, the
quality of its products, thus achieving a significant competitive advantage. Last but not least, the
improved price-to-performance ratio increases the cost-effectiveness for the customer.

Compared to conventional motor-gearbox combinations, direct drives can also improve cost and
energy efficiency: the lack of wear-prone mechanical components in the drive significantly
reduces friction losses in the system, thus improving the energy balance – a decisive factor in
times of rising fuel prices. Moreover, the Baumüller DST motors exhibit very high efficiencies at
the operating point. This enables an extremely efficient energy conversion since additional losses
due to mechanical transmission elements are avoided. As a result, the efficient energy conversion
is even greater when compared to conventional solutions.
