March 5, 2012 - BEI Kimco Magneticd introduced the DXH15 Series Outer Member Rotating BLDC Motor to meet the high accuracy requirements for a variety of industrial scanning applications. The DXH15-10-000A Motor supports extreme inner rotational speed variations by maintaining a shaft run-out of only ± 0.010." This results in negligible jitter of less than ±0.1%, which was a key requirement in meeting customer performance specifications for a laser bar-code scanning machine used in a production material handling application.
The motor's negligible shaft run-out characteristics prevent the laser beam from rasterizing, which is critical to bar-code read accuracy and maximum throughput. The motor incorporates a proprietary Hall commutation circuit that produces the exacting switch points required by the customer's control electronics for rotor position sensing. The motor's precision ball bearings and precision balanced rotor ensure reliable operation at speeds in excess of 11,000 RPMs under continuous duty over the life of the system.
Measuring just 1.5" in outer diameter and 1.0" in axial length, the new device fits into the tightly toleranced mechanical envelope specified by the OEM. Custom mounting and electrical interface features are also available.
Pricing for the new DXH15 Series is in the range of $100.00 each in production quantities.
