TBM™ Series

Kollmorgen TBM is designed to be directly embedded into machines, using the machine’s own bearings to support the rotor. The low cogging torque means motion is smoother. The high-performance TBM motor is easily integrated into a wide range of robotic applications such as robotic joints, medical robotics, sensor gimbals, guidance systems, and other motion-critical applications.

• Three frame sizes
• Multiple stack lengths per frame size
• Multiple windings per frame/stack combination
• Hall sensor option
• Multiple thermal sensors options
• Stainless Steel yokes for maximum corrosion protection
• RoHS Compliant
• Short lead time
• Webtool resource for customer system Performance
• Ideal design for modular machines and flexible manufacturing Systems
