Product catalog summary
Features and Benefits
  • The product features an involute gear with a parallel shaft type, designed for maintenance-free operation with grease lubrication and universal mounting. It is made from high-quality materials such as sealed ball bearings, steel gears, and aluminum housing, and comes in a clear silver metallic color. It is CE marked with thermal protection and meets UL standards for a 115V single-phase motor. The motor and gearhead are separable for ease of use and are sold separately.
Caution and Safety Instructions
  • Users must operate the gear head and motor within specified parameters to prevent electric shock, injury, or damage. It is important to keep hands and foreign objects away from internal moving parts and to remove damaged units from operation immediately. Modifying the unit voids the warranty. Proper installation is crucial to prevent fire hazards and ensure adequate ventilation. Appropriate guards should be used for rotating parts, and the rotation direction should be confirmed before coupling with other machines. Wiring instructions must be followed carefully to prevent electric shock or fire, and power should be turned off during interruptions to prevent unexpected equipment operation.

Overview
This document provides detailed technical specifications and operational guidelines for reversible motors and gear motors, specifically focusing on the A9M90□H motor type and G9B□KH gear head type. It includes information on motor specifications, operational procedures, and selection criteria.
Specifications
The reversible motors are designed for constant-speed operation with a simple built-in brake for rapid stopping. They are available in power ranges from 6W to 90W and are suitable for short-time operation (30 minutes). The motors are single-phase with various voltage options and include a built-in thermal protector.
Operational Guidelines
Reversible motors can change direction immediately and are ideal for applications requiring frequent direction changes. The document emphasizes that the motor must be completely stopped before switching its operational direction to avoid unsuccessful attempts or delays.
Technical Information
The document includes tables and figures illustrating the motor's speed-torque characteristics, stored torque, and overrun values. It also provides graphs showing temperature rise characteristics for different operation cycles, emphasizing the importance of not exceeding a 60°C temperature rise.
Selection Procedure
The selection process involves determining the service factor, equivalent transmitted torque, and checking the motor's starting torque and load inertia. The document provides formulas and tables to assist in calculating these parameters and ensuring the selected motor meets the application's requirements.
Standards and Compliance
The motors comply with CE Marking and UL Standards, ensuring safety and reliability. They are designed for indoor use in well-ventilated locations free of corrosive gases and dust.
Additional Features
The document also covers options for speed controllers, brake packs, and terminal boxes, providing flexibility for various applications.
Overview
This document provides technical specifications and operational guidelines for socket-type speed control motors, including induction and reversible motors with options for electromagnetic brakes. It covers wiring diagrams, motor functions, and speed control mechanisms.
Specifications
- Motor power range: 6W to 90W
- Voltage: Single-phase 100-240 VAC
- Speed range: 50 Hz: 90 to 1,400 r/min, 60 Hz: 90 to 1,700 r/min
- Built-in tachogenerators for speed feedback
- Optional electronic brake function
Wiring and Connections
- For single-phase 220 to 240 VAC/50 Hz motor connections, use the brown wire instead of the gray wire. Wiring diagrams are provided for induction, reversible, and motors with electromagnetic brakes. External components such as resistors and capacitors are specified for proper operation.
Functions
- Run/Stop Function: The motor operates at the speed set by the external speed controller when SW2 is in the RUN position and stops naturally when set to STOP.
- Run/Brake Function: Switching SW3 and SW4 to BRAKE position stops the motor instantly.
- Soft Start/Stop Functions: Allows gradual acceleration or deceleration over a set time (0.5 to 15 seconds).
Operational Guidelines
- Motors must be completely stopped before changing the operation direction. Parallel operation is possible for controlling multiple motors simultaneously. Use external speed control switches for continuous speed adjustment. Ensure proper wiring to prevent overheating and ensure safety.
Additional Notes
- Gear head and induction motor are sold separately. The document includes detailed wiring diagrams and operational examples for various motor configurations.
Braking Specification
The document outlines the braking specifications for a motor system, including a 20kΩ, 1/4W, B type resistor. It provides dimensions and options for external speed control switches and resistors for braking.
Technical Information: Motors
  • Ratings: Motors have continuous and short-time ratings, determining operational limits for torque, voltage, current, speed, and frequency.
  • Torque and Motor Speed: Discusses starting, stopping, and rating torque, as well as synchronous, no-load, and rated motor speeds.
  • Ambient Temperature: Motors should operate between -10 to +40℃ to prevent insulation deterioration and increased friction.
  • Measuring Temperature Rise: Temperature rise is measured by attaching a thermocouple to the motor case.
  • Overheating Protectors: Motors include thermal or impedance protectors to prevent overheating.
  • Ground Connections: Proper grounding is essential for safety and effectiveness.
  • Compliance: Sumitomo products comply with EC directives and CE Marking, ensuring safety and quality standards.
  • Power Requirements: Lists voltage and frequency requirements for various countries.
Technical Information: Gear Heads
  • Gear Head Size: Available in sizes □60, 70, 80, and 90 mm.
  • Reduction Ratio: Gear heads offer various reduction ratios for compatibility with different frequency areas.
  • Maximum Allowable Torque: Determined by the mechanical strength of components, varies with size and type.
  • Service Factor: Used to determine gear head life and radial load, with a standard life of 5,000 hours for uniform loads.
  • Transmission Efficiency: Efficiency varies with gear head type and load conditions.
OverviewThe document provides technical information on gear heads connected to motors, focusing on transmission efficiency, load capacities, and attachment procedures.
Transmission EfficiencyGear head transmission efficiency is affected by heat, noise, vibrations, and lubricant agitation. Efficiency decreases with more speed reduction gears: 90% for single reduction, 81% for double, and 73% for triple reduction.
Load CapacitiesThe document details shaft radial and thrust loads, with allowable values provided in tables. Exceeding these values can damage bearings and output shafts.
Combining Motors and Gear HeadsMotors and gear heads must have matching size indicators and heat treatment symbols. Intermediate gear heads can increase reduction ratios but not allowable torque.
Rotation Speed and DirectionThe gear head's rotation speed and direction depend on the reduction ratio. Intermediate gear heads maintain the motor shaft's rotation direction.
Attachment ProceduresProper alignment and gentle handling are crucial when attaching motors and gear heads to avoid damage. Specific instructions are provided for affixing load transmission mechanisms.
Technical SpecificationsTables provide detailed specifications for various models, including set screw sizes and reduction ratios.
