Baldor Launches the WBSM Series of Brushless Servomotors

June 12, 2001 by Jeff Shepard

Baldor UK Ltd. (UK) has launched the WBSM Series, a new range of brushless servomotors suitable for use in clean environments such as bio-pharm and food packaging and processing, or hostile operating situations such as inside machine tools. The series is designed to withstand high-pressure wash-down environments. Among the protection features incorporated are a white epoxy coating, stainless steel hardware and shaft extension, moisture-resistant wire, a weld-sealed stator stack, special shaft seals, O-rings, and double-sealed bearings.

Baldor claims that the motors in the WBSM Series offer maintenance-free brushless design and a thermal cut-out switch, as well as high reliability. Users have a choice of 13 motor options, spanning continuous stall torque ratings from 1.6Nm to 20Nm, with the option of custom designs offering up to 41Nm for special requirements. Rated speeds range from 1,200rpm to 4,000rpm, with up to 7,000rpm optionally available.

The WBSM Series motors are UL-, CSA- and CE-approved.
