MOTORS & GEARS WE OFFER A COMPLETE RANGE OF AC, BRUSHLESS, DC & STEPPER MOTORS FROM LEADING MANUFACTURERS IN EUROPE & ASIA

With a core product range between 1W and 1.5kW and options up to and over 30kW. Stand-alone motors or gear motors are available to fit our customers’ requirements. Motors are available with a range of inline or right-angled gearboxes to fit the technical performance required. We also supply accessories such as encoders and brakes to suit the application needs.

The motor range offers specific solutions for low noise applications and aggressive environmental conditions using stainless steel motors with protection up to IP69K. With the close partnerships built over many years with our manufacturers, we can provide options ranging from standard off-the-shelf solutions, through to a full custom design bespoke for your application.

8

AC MOTORS Our range of AC motors include both asynchronous & synchronous technologies. Single phase AC motors are suitable for on/off fixed speed applications whereas inverter driven three phase AC motors are more suited where control of speed or soft start is required. Suitable for applications such as conveyors where service life & durability are prioritised.

DC MOTORS Our DC motor range comprises standard ferrite magnet motors or rare earth magnets for higher power density. Ideal for short & intensive operations where a low voltage DC power source is available. DC motors are easy to control with a PWM drive. Suitable for battery powered and portable device applications.

BRUSHLESS MOTORS Our range of brushless motors include both inner & outer rotor technologies. Electronic rather than mechanical commutation provides a long service life. Due to higher efficiency & stronger magnets a brushless motor will offer higher torque & power output when compared with a AC or DC motor of a comparable size. Suitable for applications such as labelling machinery, where highly accurate control is required alongside speed & position.

STEPPER MOTORS Our range of stepper motors includes both 2 & 3 phase hybrid motors and NEMA linear actuators.

Open loop speed and position are easily controlled using a pulse train from a controller. Typically used in machinery where low speed, high torque & positioning are prioritised without the need of a gearbox.

9

LINEAR & MECHANICAL COMPLEMENTING OUR MOTOR, GEAR MOTOR & DRIVE OPTIONS, WE OFFER A BROAD RANGE OF LINEAR & MECHANICAL PRODUCTS FROM LEADING MANUFACTURERS Solenoids and electromagnets, either standard or customer specific designs, alongside linear actuators shorter than 50mm with 20mm stroke up to screw jacks that can move stadiums, the range of powered linear products available from OEM Automatic covers many application needs.

The number one in their field, THK, incorporate all aspects of mechanical linear guidance and support, with the full range being available.

OEM Automatic can supply a broad selection of products to cover many applications, including supporting products such as couplings and transmission pulleys from Sungil Machinery.

COUPLINGS & TIMING PULLEYS Oldham, jaw, flexible and zero backlash servo couplings, alongside timing pulleys. All available with machined to order shaft connections. Suitable for volume users.

11

DRIVE ELECTRONICS WE OFFER A COMPLETE RANGE OF MOTOR DRIVES & MOTORS WITH INTEGRATED DRIVES FROM LEADING MANUFACTURERS IN EUROPE & ASIA Most applications need some type of motor control to achieve the correct protection & required performance. Our range extends from a cost-effective drive for speed control, current limiting & direction control to more advanced intelligent motor control with integrated motion controller. The more advanced drives have the ability to communicate on different network protocols such as EtherCAT or CANopen.

Working closely with the customer & our specialised manufacturers to identify the full application requirements, we can supply a fully customised bespoke solution as well as standard off the shelf products.

12

SPEED, TORQUE & POSITION CONTROL Our range of speed, torque & position drives up to 4.2 kW are suitable for controlling DC, brushless & stepper motor technologies in most applications. General control functions include PWM speed control, controlled direction change, current limiting, acceleration/deceleration ramps & positional pulse counting. Used predominately for single axis standalone applications with the drive functions controlled via switches or PLC input.

INTELLIGENT MOTION CONTROL

MOTORS WITH INTEGRATED CONTROL

Our range of intelligent motor drives up to 1.6 kW are suitable for controlling DC, brushless, linear & stepper motors all from the same drive. The drive combines both servo drive & motion controller in one unit for a highly programmable solution. Used for precise & repeatable positional control using feedback from an encoder. Single axis or multi axis operation, the drive can operate from preprogrammed motion sequences or as a slave on a master network with communication protocols such as EtherCAT or CANopen.

Our range includes brushless, stepper and AC with built-in inverter and brushless motors with high resolution encoders & programming positioning drivers controlled on a bus network. Combining the motor & drive into one unit is an ideal solution for standalone or multi-axis applications where compactness, reduced cabling & intelligence are required such as factory AGVs.
