KAG IP67 12 and 24 V DC motors with internal encoder and mounting brake

Specifically designed for the agriculture industry, KAG’s IP67 rated 12 and 24 VDC motors have an incremental encoder built inside the motor body.

The first motor in the series is the 80 x 172 mm, 250 W brushed permanent magnet motor, assembled with 81 mm IP67 gearheads. The IP67 gearhead range has a large reduction range to select from facilitating torque production of up to 180 Nm.

The internal magnetic encoder sits behind the motor commutator, has two channels and can be run on either 5 or 24 VDC. Mounting the encoder internally has the advantage of freeing up the motor rear shaft, where an external holding brake can be fitted.

The units have a B56 brake that, combined with gearing, can provide the 180 Nm of torque also for holding the load in place on the unpowered condition. Future versions will have the option of either power-activated or -deactivated holding brakes and will feature a sealed enclosure for harsh environments.
