Because of their high torque-to-inertia ratios, SLO-SYN motors can reach synchronous speeds within 25 milliseconds, or 5° typical. Since the connection between rotor and stator is magnetic, the motors can be stalled without damage. When this occurs, the magnetic field acts as a nonabrasive clutch which allows the rotor to stop without overheating or physical damage. A prolonged stall condition can cause gear and bearing wear however, so the motors should not be stalled for long periods of time.
The AC Gearmotor shaft is slotted to accept a standard Woodruff key for ease of coupling and rigid mounting of the load. The gearmotors are permanently lubricated and do not require scheduled maintenance. The use of steel gears combined with the robust design of the gear assembly assures a typical operating life of 7 to 10 years.
SLO-SYN AC Gearmotors
SLO-SYN AC Gearmotors utilize SLO-SYN AC Synchronous Motors combined with an in-line gear speed reduction assembly which minimizes space requirements and simplifies mounting compared with other gearmotors. The gearbox design allows the motors to be small and compact, yet provides the strength needed to handle torque up to 26 foot-pounds (35.3 newton-meters). Ratios from 3:1 to 125:1 are available. All are rated for 100 pound (45.4 kg) axial loads and 150 pound (68 kg) radial loads, so external support mechanisms and additional bearings will not be needed in most applications.
AC Synchronous Motors
• High Power - allows use of a smaller motor
• Smooth, quiet operation • Bidirectional • Start, stop and reverse within 25 milliseconds
• Can be controlled with a single-pole, threeposition switch
• Flexible coupling allows a substantial load inertia increase
• Shafts have flats or keyways standard (SS221 and larger motors only)
• Available with connectors, leads or cast terminal enclosures
• Class B insulation • Will not overheat or be damaged if stalled
• Mating connector standard on connector models
