Apex Dynamics brings the same comprehensive technical and service approach to Compact AC and DC Geared Motors
Machine builders rarely select a geared motor simply by considering power and output speed. The right solution depends on torque, ratio, mounting arrangement, available space, supply voltage, duty requirements and the mechanical configuration of the machine.
It is this application-led approach that Apex Dynamics is bringing to the compact geared motor market with its SGM range of AC and DC motors and geared motors.
The range extends the Apex Dynamics offering beyond its established precision servo gearboxes, rack and pinion systems and related motion-control products, bringing the same emphasis on product choice, technical support and customer service to lower-power machine applications.
The SGM series is suitable for applications including small conveyors, sealing and filling machines, label heads, checkweighers and vision systems.

A comprehensive range
K Series AC motors are available with single-phase and three-phase voltage options and power ratings from 6W to 200W. Features include sealed motor shafts, efficient heat-dissipation housings and optimised speed-torque characteristics. Brake and forcedcooling options are available, with sizes starting at just 60mm square.
For DC applications, the GDM Series provides multiple voltage options and power ratings from 10W to 400W, with sizes beginning at 55mm diameter. Brake and tacho feedback options further extend the choice.
Gearbox flexibility The SGM programme includes the G Series gearbox range, using highprecision helical gears in aluminium housings. Inline gearboxes provide ratios from 3:1 to 500:1, while rightangle configurations extend from 5:1 to 2500:1.
Designers can choose between inline, right-angle solid-shaft and right-angle hollow-shaft configurations, together with different shaft, bore and mounting options. The objective is to select a geared-motor configuration that fits the machine rather than redesigning the machine around the drive.
