Pittman Motors, a division of AMETEK Precision Motion Control, has introduced PittmanExpress, an online system offering customers the ability to order from a standard list of prototype parts available for 24 hour shipment. The online ordering system allows an engineer to quickly obtain off-the-shelf DC motor products for concept testing while evaluating their needs for an application-specific customized motor solution.
PittmanExpress offers a wide variety of brush DC, brushless DC, and gearmotors available in various frame sizes, continuous torque ratings, and voltages. Although the PittmanExpress product offering is just a “sampling” of a much wider DC motor product line, the list is extensive enough to help a product engineer quickly test a design concept.
Continuous torque ratings available on PittmanExpress are 0.80oz/in to 226oz/in (0.0057Nm to 1.593Nm) for DC brush motors; 6.4oz/in to 880oz/in (0.045Nm to 6.2Nm) for DC gearmotors; and 7oz/in to 248oz/in (0.049Nm to 1.75Nm) for DC brushless motors. Continuous output power ratings are available from 2.8 watts to 447W for DC brush motors; 0.087W to 55W for DC gearmotors; and 24W to 755W for DC brushless motors. All three product groups offer versions with integrated incremental encoders. For more information, visit www.PittmanExpress.com.
After initial concept testing using parts from the PittmanExpress system, a product engineer can work closely with our applications engineers to create a more customized application-specific solution. Options include optimized motor windings, unique shaft configurations, various bearing systems, output devices such as pinions and gears, special lead wire assemblies, EMI/RFI suppression networks, and various other features. Customers can discuss an application in more detail with Pittman engineers at 267-933-2105.
Product applications for Pittman motors are diverse and span a wide variety of high- tech industries including medical instruments, laboratory automation, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, laser and optics equipment, or just about any other application where precision motion is needed.
