“In developing the DIP we’ve created a true all-rounder,” says Marc Scheer, Head of Inside Sales at AMKmotion. "Our goal was to design an energy-efficient synchronous servo motor that offers high power density, outstanding dynamics, and requires considerably less current at the same acceleration than comparable models.” Users benefit from shorter process cycles and higher productivity. Since less energy is required for axis movement, overall current consumption is reduced. This directly impacts design: machines can be built more compactly and operated more efficiently because oversized cooling systems and large safety clearances are no longer necessary.
By means of an optimized magnetic circuit, AMKmotion has reduced the rotor inertia to one-third that of comparable drives. "This allows the new synchronous servo motors to respond more quickly to setpoint changes and be controlled with greater precision," explains Benjamin Abdic, Product Manager Motors at AMKmotion. “The result is systems that operate with greater accuracy and consistently maintain top product quality.” The reluctance torque component contributes additional torque without requiring extra magnetic material, significantly reducing the use of rare-earth elements.
At the same time, the DIP achieves up to three times the acceleration of comparable synchronous servo motors such as AMKmotion’s DT10. “With its exceptional torque and high rotational speed, the DIP delivers more power and velocity in the smallest possible space,” Abdic adds. The outcome: shorter process cycles, lower energy costs, and higher productivity.
The new synchronous servo motors are designed for applications such as the printing and packaging industries – in punching and cutting systems, conveyors, and filling or wrapping machines, for instance. In these settings, the DIP shortens cycle times and ensures highly repeatable motion sequences. It enables fast, precise load changes in test benches and measurement systems such as those used for dynamic load simulations or torque control, while in plastics industry, the motor shortens cycle times and increases injection speeds in applications such as injection moulding, thermoforming, and film drawing machines. “This allows manufacturers to produce even delicate components with greater precision,” says Scheer.
Like all AMKmotion servo motors, the DIP series can be precisely tailored to customer requirements by selecting the appropriate winding and frame size options, enabling it to be seamlessly integrated in the AMKmotion system architecture. “With our modular system components we’re able to deliver fully customized solutions,” says Abdic.
The current product range covers size 10 motors with power ratings from 5 to 100 kW. Additional frame sizes, lengths, and design variants will follow, along with cooling options such as convection, liquid, or forced-air cooling. “With its outstanding dynamic response and power density, the DIP sets a new benchmark in drive technology,” Scheer concludes.
