“IP-54” Sealed, Low Current, 12 Vdc Gearmotor

Product News Friday, April 23, 2010: Midwest Motion Products

Midwest Motion Products of Watertown, Minnesota, is pleased to announce the release of a new DC Gear Motor, the
Model No. MMP-TM55-60-12V GP52-308. Accepting any 12 Volt DC source, including battery power, this robust Gear
Motor measures just 2.14” in Diameter, by 7.75” long, and has a keyed output shaft of 12mm diameter by 25mm long.
Easy mounting is accomplished with 4 “face mount” M5 threaded holes, equally spaced on a 40mm Dia. B.C.
The output of this reversible gearmotor is rated for 310 Lb. In. continuous torque, at 2.5 RPM, and 443 Lb. In. Peak.
Despite its compact size, and weight of approximately 4 pounds, it’s an efficient design, requiring just 1.2 Amps at 12
Volts DC to generate its Full Load Torque. That translates into long life battery charge, very low noise operation, and lower
costs for related drive electronics. Motor windings for 24, 28, 36, 48, 60 & 90 Volts are available.
This unique design is rated at an “IP 54” protection level for operation in harsh environments. Variable Speed can be
accomplished with our fully compatible Speed Controls, Model MMP 25A-12V, or MMP 20A-12V-RSP.

Typical options available from the company include Servo Motors with integral Optical Encoders, Failsafe Brakes, Analog
Tachometers, and a variety of Planetary Gearheads, with standard ratios ranging from 3:1 to 2653:1, and standard or low
backlash precision gearing available. Motor Winding Options include 12V, 24V 36V, 48V, 60V and 90 Volts DC.

The company offers a variety of standard ancillary equipment including DC power supplies, DC Servomotors, PWM Servo
Amplifiers, Motor Speed Controls, Linear Actuators and a wide variety of DC gear-motors. Custom Motor Shaft and
mounting configurations are also available. Typical applications include Battery Operated Motors & E.V. drives, Medical,
Mobility / Accessibility products, Robotics & Automation including (Military) Unmanned Guided Vehicles, Semiconductor
Processing Equipment, Actuators, Packaging & Labeling Machines, Woodworking & Metalworking Machines, Dynamic
Displays for Tradeshows and many other applications requiring precise motion control.
