World's Flattest and Most Compact Direct Drive Motor with
IP66 Rating*1 in Watertight and Dust-tight Performance
Tokyo, Japan, June 15, 2010 – NSK Ltd. (NSK; Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President and CEO: Norio Otsuka) announced the release of Megatorque Motor Z Series with High Environmental Resistance, joining the Megatorque Motor family that has earned a strong reputation in the semiconductor and liquid crystal display (LCD) sectors. The new Z Series motors achieve an IP66 rating for dust and water ingress protection, making them the world's flattest and most compact direct drive motors to attain the rating. The high speed and high precision of Megatorque motors will contribute significantly to the improvement in productivity of foods and automotive components, where there is exposure to water and oil. NSK released three models of the Megatorque Motor Z Series in July 2010.
Rotary positioning mechanisms currently used in manufacturing exposed to water, oil and other liquids give priority to waterproofness, so mechanical indexing machines are widely used. However, mechanical indexing mechanisms offer limited flexibility in their installation, and have a significant environmental impact from waste oil disposal, increasing the demand for alternative solutions.
NSK developed the Megatorque Motor Z Series with high environmental resistance in order to reliably withstand manufacturing settings that involve exposure to water, oil and other liquids, as well as dust and particulates. The new Z Series motors deliver the same performance as our other Megatorque Motors, while achieving an IP66 rating for dust and water ingress protection, enabling manufacturers to significantly improve positioning speed and accuracy in a wide range of manufacturing environments.
NSK will offer expanded after-sales service to ensure the long and reliable use of the motors by customers. The service includes the assessment of waterproof seal life, in addition to a range of maintenance, replacement and repair services.
The Megatorque Motor Z Series with high environmental resistance has been available since July 2010. NSK expects the sales of this product to reach one billion yen by 2012. NSK showcased the Megatorque Motor Z Series in Tokyo at the 23rd Interphex Japan trade show held from June 30 to July 2, 2010, and at the Techno-Frontier 2010 trade show held from July 21 to 24, 2010.
Megatorque Motor™ Z Series—Features and Benefits
World's first direct drive motor with IP66 rating*2
Original waterproof construction protects the direct drive motor from ingress against high pressure water jets, achieving an IP66 rating for ingress protection under IEC standards.
Benefits for Customers:
Suitable for processing and washing machines for automotive components, and manufacturing machines for foods and medical containers, in settings where there is exposure to water, oil and other liquids, as well as dust and particulates, either from spray, leakage or dispersion.
World's flattest and most compact direct drive motor with dust and water ingress protection
Technologies for high precision and high torque of Megatorque Motors are integrated with a flat design and excellent sealing to set a standard as the world's flattest and most compact (based on volume/torque ratio) direct drive motor with water ingress protection.
Benefits for Customers:
Compared with using a mechanical indexing machine under exposure to water and oil, the Megatorque Motor Z Series reduces the drive mechanism height by 50% and is approximately 80% smaller in volume, to significantly reduce the equipment size.
High torque and high precision for improved productivity
The motor is available in three models rated for a maximum output torque of 40 N・m, 130 N・m and
175N·m respectively, to support a wide range of load. All models deliver a repeatability of ±2 seconds (1/1800 degrees) with a position sensor resolution of 2.62 million pulses/revolution.
Benefits for Customers:
Customers who demand faster positioning can easily choose a model from the Megatorque Motor Z Series, instead of a mechanical indexing machine. The high speed and highly accurate positioning delivered by Megatorque Motors will significantly improve productivity and quality.
Environmental benefits and resource conservation
Reducing the use of environmentally harmful substances:
EU RoHS directive compliant, signifying less environmental impact
Low waste:
Eliminates need for waste oil disposal currently necessary when using mechanical indexing mechanisms.
Resource and energy savings:
Reduces the size of the drive mechanism and the amount of materials used for the overall equipment. Enables more compact table diameter to reduce energy needed for conveyance.
