With an 8-mm diameter and 16-mm length, the RE 8 dc motor offers low inertia and fast acceleration. The motor weighs less than 4 g, and its ceramic shaft turns in two sleeve bearings. Metal brushes ensure constant and low contact resistance between brushes and commutator.
The motor’s ironless winding allows for greater efficiency, suiting it for network-independent applications such as lasers, leveling equipment, or insulin pumps. Planetary gearheads can be attached for certain applications where the given motor speed is too high and inertia too low. The modular system can also provide a sensor for detecting speed and position. (Contact Deb Setters for pricing and availability.)
