Torque Motor

SQM Square Body Torque Motor

In industry, AC motors and gearboxes have generally been used to meet drive requirements, and more recently, torque motors, which are high-pole, low-speed motors, have also been used. However, these torque motors are not a new invention or principle; they are obtained by winding standard servo motors with a higher number of poles. Since each new pole wound increases copper losses, motor efficiency decreases, wasted energy heats the motor, and it must be cooled.

WHY TORQUE MOTOR?

• HIGH GAIN IN ENERGY

• DOES NOT REQUIRE MOTOR COOLING AS IT ROTATES AT LOW SPEED

• NO BEARING FAILURES OR MOTOR BURNOUTS AS IT ROTATES AT LOW SPEED

• REDUCED MAINTENANCE COSTS AS THE GEARBOX IS ELIMINATED (Gears, bearings, oil, labor)

• SPACE SAVING AS THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT IN FRONT OF IT
