Electric Power Equipment Makers See 45 New Motors from Bosch
BROADVIEW, IL, January 12, 2009 - A total of 45 new DC electric motors for battery-powered portable power equipment have been announced by Robert Bosch LLC.
The new motors, based on existing power units already sold by Bosch in other
industries, claim to significantly expand the capabilities of DC electric motors
in large portable power equipment using batteries. Proven reliability and solid
price-performance relationships are also touted as advantages to the new
motors.
The motors are available in either 12V or 24V form in four of the five motor "families" announced by Bosch. Weights in rugged cases range from 0.5-3.8kg with up to 750W of power.
"The key factors in battery-powered equipment applications are extended power cycles, with low to medium torque. These motors have been proven to fulfill those requirements to the maximum," declares Kenn Langosch, Sales Manager for Industrial Motors for Bosch. "There are a host of potential battery-powered applications, ranging from portable floor-cleaning equipment to billboard rotators."
The five motor "families" unveiled by Bosch include:
o CHP Family - 15 motors, 12/24V; nominal current 0.7-10A, nominal
power 12-53W, breakaway torque 3-30 Nm.
o CEP Family - Six motors, all 24V; nominal current 2.5-7A, nominal power 10.5-26W, breakaway torque 20-40 Nm. The above two families are suitable for a broad range of portable power equipment, including power outriggers on private fishing boats.
o GPA Family - Eight motors, 12/24V; nominal current 14-75A, nominal power 455-750W, breakaway torque 6.4-12Nm. These motors are particularly well adapted to floor cleaning equipment and similar applications.
o CPB Family - 10 motors, 12/24V; nominal current 2.5-13A, nominal power 24-120W, breakaway torque 26-450Nm. Used in billboard rotators and other portable applications.
o FPG Family - Six motors, 12/24V; nominal current 3.5-9A, nominal power 8.9-11.6W, breakaway torque 9-12.2Nm. Ideal for larger rotating surfaces.
Bosch DC electric motors are manufactured worldwide in ISO9000 and ISO14000-certified plants, Langosch adds. The benefits for installers and users are uniform international quality and rapid availability almost anywhere on the planet.
In addition to offering a line of DC electric motors with off-the-shelf availability, Bosch is a global supplier of switches, relays, sensors and other related equipment. The company is also uniquely positioned to offer integrated and engineered systems as well as individual motors.
