Winchester, Ohio - Koford Engineering LLC has introduced a new line of motion control 36mm brushless planetary gearmotors that offer high output torque and power. The gearboxes feature durable hardened steel precision gears with needle bearing planetaries allowing input speeds up to 30,000 rpm. Reductions from 6.75:1 to 307.54:1 are available. Gearbox efficiencies are up to 94%.

The motors are available in 2 and 4 pole designs and with hall sensors or sensorless with power outputs 10 to 620 watts, motor speeds from 3,600 up to 30,000 rpm, and motor efficiencies up to 89%. Mechanical time constants are as low as 4ms. They feature a slotless design which eliminates cog and allows for precise positioning compared to conventional toothed motors. Typically slotless motors in this size are only available with 2 poles. The 4 pole configuration doubles the resolution for hall feedback speed control, improving performance. These motors are engineered to provide a straight line speed torque relationship under all conditions.

Applications include motion control, actuators, pumps, and robots.
