Stepper motors, also known as step or stepping motors, divide a full rotation into equally sized steps, each representing 1.8° or 200 steps per revolution. These 2-phase brushless DC motors offer precise load positioning and robust holding torque at each incremental step. Through the use of microstepping drives, these steps can be further divided, achieving near servo-like positioning without the complexity of feedback devices or closed-loop control systems.

Kollmorgen, in partnership with BEHCO, offer an extensive stepper motor product line serves diverse applications, from life-sustaining medical devices to high-throughput manufacturing lines and explosive oil and gas production environments. With decades of design expertise, these motor series cater to the needs of OEMs in various motion-critical industries, offering a high value-to-cost ratio, premium performance in extreme conditions, or specialized capabilities.

Kollmorgen, in collaboration with BEHCO, stands as a pioneer in the advancement of direct drive technology, offering the most extensive range of direct-drive motors across the industry. These motors set the standard for performance, presenting features such as zero maintenance, a clean mechanical assembly, enhanced accuracy, increased throughput, improved reliability, and smooth, quiet operation—making them adaptable to a diverse array of machine design requirements.

Traditional mechanical transmissions, including gearboxes, timing belts, pulleys, or lead screws, introduce drawbacks such as backlash, mechanical losses, and undesirable audible noise. These factors can diminish machine performance, augment machine size and weight. In contrast, Direct Drive motors, whether housed rotary (DDR), cartridge rotary (CDDR), or frameless (KBM high-voltage rotary, TBM low-voltage rotary, or DDL linear motors), directly mount to the load, eliminating the need for transmission. This offers a more robust alternative, reducing system maintenance significantly by eliminating wear-prone mechanical parts and improving Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF). The advantages of direct drive solutions extend to enhanced load acceleration, lower power consumption, reduced system inertia, and higher precision. BEHCO proudly holds the status of an authorized distributor for Kollmorgen, for more information, personalized insights, and solutions, contact your BEHCO representative today.

Kollmorgen, in partnership with BEHCO, offers a lineup of brushed DC motors with an extensive range of sizes and package types, providing versatile options to suit various applications.

The Direct Drive frameless torque motors offer a diverse selection of frame sizes, stack lengths, and customization options. These motors are ideal for applications requiring high servo stiffness, fast response, and precise control at low speeds. The frameless design, comprising a rotor, stator, and brush ring assembly, integrates seamlessly into systems, saving both weight and space. Common applications include azimuth and elevation pedestals, pointing and tracking systems, targeting sights, surveillance systems, and aircraft fire control systems.

ServoDisc products, part of the axial airgap pancake-style motor family, feature magnets mounted on endplates, creating an axially aligned magnetic field. These motors offer key advantages, including a flat package size, zero cogging due to their slotless/ironless design, and high accel/decel rates owing to very low inertia. Ideal for applications requiring fast moves and smooth rotation, ServoDisc motors find use in biomedical equipment such as anesthesia machines, blood pumps, and respirators, as well as various applications within the semiconductor, process control, and instrumentation markets.

PMDC motors provide a balance of value and performance. With over 40 NEMA standard models ranging from ¼ to 3HP, along with numerous customization opportunities, these motors cater to a wide variety of markets and applications. The PMDC motor design, incorporating permanent magnets instead of a wound field, results in a lighter, more compact, and efficient motor with a broader speed range. These motors are UL Recognized and CSE certified. It is with great pride that BEHCO serves as an authorized distributor for Kollmorgen. To explore the right motor solution for your specific needs, contact your BEHCO representative today.

AC synchronous motors, regarded as the workhorses of industry, operate with speed directly linked to AC input frequency. For instance, at 120 Vac, 60 Hz, an AC synchronous motor will turn at 72 rpm. The speed is adjustable by varying the frequency, although many applications opt for gearing or a belt- or chain-drive system to achieve the desired load speed.

BEHCO, with our partner Kollmorgen, present a comprehensive array of AC synchronous motor products, encompassing continuous torque, high torque, and hybrid options to meet diverse application requirements. Our synchronous motors deliver several advantages, including the ability to start within 1-1/2 cycles of the applied frequency and attain full synchronous speed within 5 to 25 milliseconds. These motors can stop within 5 degrees of rotation and reverse with equal rapidity.

Within the ST/SN Series and KS/SS Series, we offer two families of AC synchronous motors. High-performance motors in these series are available in NEMA 23, 34, and 42 frame sizes, with two- and three-phase models in each size. Resistor-capacitor kits facilitate the operation of two-phase synchronous motors from a single-phase power source. Furthermore, we provide hazardous duty AC synchronous motors, certified to UL Class I, Division 1, Group D; UL Class 1, Division 2, Groups E, F, and G; and ATEX standards. It's a source of pride for BEHCO to be recognized as an authorized distributor for Kollmorgen. For personalized insights and solutions, reach out to your BEHCO representative today.

In environments containing combustible gases, dust, vapors, fibers, or flyings, electrical equipment must be meticulously designed to eliminate potential ignition sources such as arcing or excessive temperatures. Explosion-proof motors are engineered not to survive an external explosion but to prevent the initiation of a fire or explosion. These motors are certified for safe operation in specific hazardous locations classified by UL (North America), ATEX (Europe/International), or CSA (Canada).

Kollmorgen and BEHCO provide standard explosion-proof motors that adhere to UL, ATEX, and CSA certification requirements. BEHCO also holds the distinction of being an authorized distributor for Kollmorgen. If you have questions, need tailored solutions or expert guidance, reach out to your BEHCO representative today.
