Reliable force in a small envelope
25 January 2013
Framo Morat Compacta slip-on geared motors from R. A. Rodriguez offer a reliable driving force in a small design envelope - and with the introduction of the new AG160 to the range, this attribute is even more pronounced

Framo Morat Compacta slip-on
geared motors from
R. A. Rodriguez offer a reliable
driving force in a small design
envelope - and with the introduction
of the new AG160 to the range, this
attribute is even more pronounced.
This top of the range addition extends output torque to 1600Nm yet has a housing of just 375.25 x 200mm.
The smaller dimensions and the low weight of Compacta are achieved by the use of a spur and worm gear transmission combined with performance-optimised motors; the transmission is also said to be exceptionally quiet.
Integrated and easily adjustable limit and safety switches contribute to Compacta's flexibility. It can also be equipped with a potentiometer for position feedback allowing for precise control and repeatable positioning.
Thanks to the modular design, the motors can be tailored to the precise needs of the application, for example offering a range of output speeds and using a solenoid actuated brake when needed.
