January 27, 2010 - Printed Motor Works announced the GSR pancake motor, a realistic alternative to conventional DC and universal electric motors. The printed armature motor, also known as the pancake or servodisc DC motor, is just 19mm deep for a 70W motor and 41mm for a 1.6kW motor. The GSR range still offers all the features and benefits associated with pancake motors such as rapid response, long brush life, low EMC emissions and is still the only motor in the world that has zero torque ripple.Applications as varied as highly dynamic industrial robotics and medical equipment through to basic pump and fan drives use pancake motors.
The pancake motors will be made in England at Printed Motor Works’ Hampshire facility ensuring European quality standards, but critically at a competitive price even compared with conventional DC and universal motors.
