NORTHROP GRUMMAN EXPANDS SILENCER(TM) LINE
BLACKSBURG, Va. -- March 25, 2002 -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) today announced it has expanded its line of high-performance Silencer(TM) brushless DC motors to include a higher speed version in the 34 frame size (BN34) and a higher energy version in the 23 frame size (BN23). Both motors were developed by Poly-Scientific, a business unit of the company's Component Technologies sector.
The high speed BN34 offers speeds up to 20,000 rpm and provides quiet, efficient and smooth operation. The compact motor design is targeted for applications that require low audible noise, long life and high torque. An aluminum housing protects the unit in rugged application environments. The motor's inside rotor construction allows for quick acceleration and high speeds. Increased speeds make this motor ideal for centrifuge applications and high speed fans and pumps.
The Silencer(TM) high energy BN23 offers continuous torque ratings up to 70 oz-in. An aluminum finned housing protects the unit in rugged applications and environments and facilitates heat dissipation from the motor. Its compact, high energy design utilizes powerful rare earth magnets with an energy product in excess of 40 MGOe and is excellent for applications that require low audible noise, long life and high torque. Higher power in a smaller package allows the end user to step into a smaller frame size, which is often a prime consideration when space restraints are crucial to a design.
Typical applications include medical equipment, packaging machines and semiconductor handling applications.
The Silencer(TM) motor line has continuous torque ratings from 2.4 to 519 oz-in. and provides quiet, efficient and smooth operation. Options include: encoders, gearheads, resolver and sensorless feedback. The brushless motors are matched with the Silencer(TM) drives for best system performance.
