Born from years of advanced R&D, rigorous and demanding testing, and real-world customer feedback, the TBM2G Series of frameless motors has been precision-engineered to solve the most demanding of drone and robotics design challenges. Delivering ultra-precise motion and high levels of torque in an extremely compact electromagnetics package, these motors deliver excellent load carrying capacity and fast movement with greater efficiency and significantly lower thermal rise.

The robust motors have been designed with rugged resilience against a wide range of demanding environmental conditions, including high-pressure water jets, deep-sea submersion, ionizing radiation, and winding temperatures of up to 155°C.

The KBM Series of frameless motors has been designed to be directly embedded into robotics platforms, using existing bearings to support the rotor and eliminating coupling devices to reduce overall size and weight. With voltage options from 120 to 480 Vac, the motors feature fully encapsulated stator windings, and optional latching digital Hall effect sensors can be pre-aligned and factory-installed.

The versatile motors allow a wide variety of options and parameters to be customized to suit your specific requirements, including mechanical dimensions, leads, windings, stack lengths, torque, speed, power, smoothness, and more.

The TBM Series of direct drive brushless motors has been optimized to deliver high torque at relatively low speeds for 24 or 48V robotics applications. With compact low-cogging designs and stainless steel rotors for corrosion protection, these robust and reliable motors are intended to be directly embedded into robotics platforms, using existing bearings to support the rotor.

All standard models can be tailored to suit your specific requirements, with options including mechanical dimensions, leads, windings, stack lengths, torque, speed, power, smoothness, and more.

The RBE Series of direct-drive motors has been proven over years of success in a wide variety of industries and applications, offering a variety of different sizes and torque ranges with speeds of up to 35,000 RPM.

Housed models in this series feature stainless steel shafts and can be provided with any combination of Hall sensors, encoders or resolvers as rotor position feedback devices. Frameless models utilize the load’s own shaft and bearings and can be provided with integral Hall sensors, with additional position feedback devices such as encoders or resolvers available as separate components.

Kollmorgen also provides a wide range of design tools to help you select the best option from the company’s extensive product range that perfectly suits your unique unmanned systems or robotic vehicle requirements.
