Sanyo Introduces High Torque 12MM Gear Motors for Robotics and Mini Appliances



BENSENVILLE, ILLINOIS: SANYO DC Micro Motor Division introduces the 12GN Series, a new line of 12 mm geared DC micro motors. Ideal for robotics and compact applications, these high torque motors offer designers a space saving alternative to much larger brush motors. The 12GN motor measures only 12 mm x 10 mm x 29 mm from terminals to tip of shaft and weighs 8.7 gr. Starting torque is 300 mNom. Rated load is 20 mNom. Operation is quiet due to the close tolerance precision of the shaft rotation. In addition to robotics and mini appliances, other applications include power tools, locks, medical and dispensing equipment, and mini printers. Depending on model and features, the price of a 12GN gear motor is less than $3.00 in volumes of 100K and above. SANYO also offers an extensive product range of vibrator, precious metal brush, brushless, and stepper micro motors in OEM quantities.

SANYO 12GN gear motors are available with a choice of four gear ratios. Model NA1S has a gear ratio of 1/75.7, model NA2S is 1/134.5, model NA3S is 1/196.6, and model NA4S is 1/297. Motors with limiters are also available. No-load speed ranges from 62 to 246 rpm, depending on model. No-load current is 120 mA. Endplay is 0.02 to 0.35 mm in drive shaft. Lateral play is less than 0.04 mm at the tip of the drive shaft. Vibration is less than 40 m/s². Noise is below 55 dB at 5.0V. Operating temperature range is 0°C to +50°C but there is reduced life expectancy in colder environments.

Gear motors as small as 8 and 10 mm are expected to be introduced in late 2004.
