This co. introduces a new brushless, explosion-proof actuator. This new brushless system directs electrical current to the motor winding electronically rather than using the mechanical brushes found in conventional servo motors. This design creates no sparks and reduces maintenance by eliminating the need for brush replacement. The motor's housing is explosion-proof, an added safety feature for printing, coating and laminating operations where combustible solvents are used, says co.
