Compact 48V DC Gearmotor Develops 46 IN. LB. Torque at 100 RPM

Midwest Motion Products has announced the release of a new DC Gear Motor, the Model No. MMP-TM55-48V GPk52-046. Accepting any 48 Volt DC source, including battery power, this robust Gear Motor measures just 2.14” in Diameter, by 7.2” long, and has a keyed output shaft of 12mm diameter by 25mm long. Easy mounting is accomplished with 4 “face mount” M5 threaded holes, equally spaced on a 40mm Dia. B.C. The output of this reversible gearmotor is rated for 46 IN LBS continuous torque, at 100 RPM, and 89 IN LBS Peak. Despite its compact size, and weight of approximately 3.5 pounds, it’s an efficient design, requiring just 1.8 Amps at 48 Volts DC to generate its Full Load Torque. That translates into long life battery charge, very low noise operation, and lower costs for related drive electronics. Motor windings for 12, 24, 36, 60 & 90 Volts are available.
