The GM Series Brushed Pancake Motors from Pelonis Technologies offer high power and extreme accuracy in high-performance industrial applications with ambient temperatures up to 150 °C (302 °F). This page will outline the features of our GM Series Brushed Pancake Motors and their most common applications.

Features

The GM Series Brushed Pancake Motors have several features to increase efficiency and accurate power allocation. They come in several armature diameters: 9 cm, 12 cm, and 16 cm. The GM Series eliminates cogging and has an ultra-flat, ironless construction to deliver ultra-low velocity ripple.

With a special build scheme, our GM Series motors are low-resistance, parallel winding motors ideal for high-speed, battery-powered, and/or low-voltage applications. Our GM Series motors are prevalent in high-end servo applications, due to their precise control and compact form factor.

For reliable performance in confined spaces, the GM Series motors feature:

  • Axial flux
  • Standard and high-power AlNiCo permanent magnet options
  • DC brushed operation
  • Printed armature

The motors are available in four ranges. To suit your unique needs, we can customize the following components:

  • Shaft
  • Gearbox
  • Encoder
  • Tachometer
  • Magnet material
