Extremely compact and powerful

Baumüller will be presenting its new DSC2 motor generation at the SPS 2023

At the SPS exhibition in Nuremberg, the drive and automation manufacturer Baumüller will be presenting its new DSC2 motor series. The DSC servo motors are the next generation for applications requiring high torque density. The low weight and minimum dimensions characterize this series. Among other things, the overall length was reduced, making the DSC2 even more compact yet with the same power.

“Our development achieved an outstanding combination of overall length and flexibility with maximum torque density at the same time. The efficiency of the motor increased to around 94 percent””, reported Markus Keila, Senior Product Manager for Motors at Baumüller.

Like the familiar DSC1 product family, the DSC2 motors are scalable and adaptable to customers’ requirements. They cover a speed range from 1,000 to 5,000 rpm. The numerous encoder and cooling options, optional break, various compatible gear variants and many additional options ensure that the DSC2, as well, can be matched perfectly with its individual area of application. The motor also has a small CO₂ footprint. This is due to the reduced use of material resulting from the very compact structure.

One variant of the DSC2 motor is particularly good for applications with low speeds and simultaneously high torque requirement. Compared to other servo motors on the market, the DSC2 motor is up to 15 percent more compact.

Cross-industry solution

Thanks to its smooth design, the simplified assembly and high degree of protection, the DSC2 motors are suitable for all kinds of applications, for example, the printing, plastics, textile, robotics or packaging industry. The low weight and minimum dimensions make the DSC2 a good solution for movable axes. The minimum cogging torque ensures precise positioning and high control quality. The advantage: The precision increases in the process.

The most compact variant of the DSC2 is enabled by the concept of water cooling. The active cooling increases the power density. In addition, close installation of multiple servo motors is easily possible due to the good heat dissipation. This saves space in the machine and is an advantage, particularly in applications with many axes.
