The next generation of intelligent motors

SPS Italia in Parma stands as a pinnacle for Italy's smart, digital, and sustainable industry. From May 28 to 30, 2024, Dunkermotoren and MAE, both AMETEK brands, will grace Hall 5, Stand L005, as steadfast partners of the Italian industry, impressing with their renowned quality and adaptability. Among their offerings, Dunkermotoren will unveil the PLG 75 ServoLine gearbox, boasting a service life exceeding 20,000 hours, ideal for long-lasting DC motors. This comprehensive motor-gearbox solution thrives in applications with high cycle rates, distinguished by reliability, robust torque, and remarkable efficiency. Nexofox, the Dunkermotoren IIoT brand, will also take center stage, showcasing its latest breakthrough. Explore the foundation for your smart factory with NexoLink, a novel module facilitating seamless integration of all smart Dunkermotoren motors. NexoLink's modular extensions, such as Smart Diagnostics and Predictive Maintenance, enable sensor-free monitoring of gearbox wear, serving as a vital indicator of overall service life. Nexofox is rapidly advancing in the hardware sector. In addition to the existing BGE 5510 dPro external controller, the BGE 8060 dPro now joins the controller family as a formidable addition."

At SPS Italia, Dunkermotoren emphasizes its smart BLDC motor series dPro, ranging from 20 to 5000 W, featuring bus and Ethernet interfaces such as CANopen, PROFINET, EtherCAT, and Ethernet/IP. A notable highlight is the PROFINET Showcase, demonstrating the synchronous operation of four axes powered by BG dPro PN motors.

Since mid-2023, Dunkermotoren's product lineup includes the NG 1000 WO hub gearbox, providing further development possibilities for driverless transport systems (AGVs and AMRs). When paired with the BG 95 dPro, this solution stands at a mere 95 mm in height and, thanks to axle offset, enables vehicles with a minimum width of only 600 mm and a potential total weight of four tons. Versions with reduced gear backlash allow exceptionally precise vehicle positioning. Moreover, the availability of low-noise gearbox versions extends the applicability of mobile and self-propelled equipment, catering the requirements in the medical sector, such as mobile MRI or X-ray machines.

Dunkermotoren's solutions are particularly suitable for omni- or multidirectional vehicles. A compact and intriguing solution from TEKNO M.P., ideal for 360° continuous rotation, is showcased at the booth.

Dunkermotoren´s sister company, MAE, focuses on another critical trend: local sourcing. MAE fully embraces this trend, manufacturing its products exclusively in Europe. Thanks to the option to add brakes, encoders, gearboxes, and electronics, MAE's stepper motor portfolio offers flexible integration into diverse applications. The newly integrated sGo electronics provide a cost-optimized control solution for Nema 17 and Nema 23 sizes.

Ribeirao Preto - SP again becomes the city of Agriculture in May

Dunkermotoren and MAE are exhibiting at Agrishow Brazil

The Agrishow in Brazil is the place to be for all agriculture technology manufacturers around the world. Especially for the Brazilian and South American market the show is the number one meeting point when it comes to industry trends and technology.

From April 29th to May 3rd, 2024 Dunkermotoren and MAE, both brands of AMETEK, will be exhibiting in the Arena de Soluções Agro in Rua 5 at booth 72.

Dunkermotoren and MAE are well-known in the agricultural business for motor and blower solutions. With the slogan „Agri goes electromechanical“, both companies want to push the switch from pneumatic to electric motor solutions. The electrification of agro machines is one of the industry´s megatrends, allowing processes to become more efficient, thus, increasing the overall productivity while reducing its costs. The blower and motor solutions from MAE and Dunkermotoren impress with maintenance-free lifetime, high energy efficiency and a robust design with protection class up to IP69K.

For those who are not familiar with Dunkermotoren – the outstanding advantage of Dunkermotoren´s smart brushless motors is their integrated intelligence into the housing and the possibilities within Smart Farming with nexofox, the company´s own IIoT brand. The communication interfaces CANopen or other Ethernet interfaces are belonging to the standard portfolio of smart motors (Series BG dPro) at Dunkermotoren. Integration of multiple devices, predictive maintenance and condition monitoring are simple to implement.

In addition to their brushless motors, Dunkermotoren will also present their linear systems at the show. An innovation – designed for the harsh environments agricultural machines are operating in - is the electric actuator CAHB. Combined with a brushless or brushed DC motor it can e.g., adjust the crop ejector on forage harvesters, and offers completely new possibilities as an alternative to pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. The CAHB is very powerful and is available with strokes up to 700 mm and forces up to 10,000 N. This electric solution is much more energy efficient compared to pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. Expensive air pressure or oil supply are eliminated. Additionally, features such as positioning, speed ramps, force measurement, and the creation of individual motion profiles can be realized based on customer requirements.

MAE is presenting its latest highlights of stepper motors and blowers.

Stepper motors are used in electromechanical systems that demand precision and movement control in agricultural machines such as planters, sprayers, and mechanism drives such as valve controls. The MAE stepper motors are available in the three common NEMA sizes: 17, 23 and 34. They can be configured with gearboxes, brakes, encoders, and integrated electronics. High IP standards are available on request.

MAE’s electric blowers have an extensive pressure and flow range offering flow control, efficiency with low energy consumption and a compact size compared to hydraulic blowers. Blowers can be applied to different products that require positive pressure or vacuum, such as transporting materials, transporting seeds and inputs, storage and cleaning systems.

The products of both companies are used in seeding, fertilizing and milking applications as well as for farming robots.
