About Pancake Motors
Pancake motors, also known as printed armature motors or servo disc motors, are commonly used for applications requiring a quick start and stop, zero cogging (smooth running) or accurate and precise control.
PMW's pancake motors differ from conventional DC pancake motors by using a unique slotless disc armature design. The design enables them to produce an accurate and sustainable level of performance in both incremental motion and continuous speed, which is not possible with conventional iron-core motor designs.
Reasons to choose PMW Dynamic pancake motors
- Smaller and thinner than normal iron-core motors
- Rapid acceleration and deceleration
- Instant torque
- Zero cogging
- Long brush life
- Reliable at high speed
- Instant torque delivery
- Flat torque curve
- Easy to cool
- Excellent EMC characteristics
- Choice of magnets
- Wide variety of design options
our current pancake motor range by pmw
Able to operate at high ambient temperatures of up to 150°C (302°F). These motors ensure high reliability.
Where compact size and precise control are essential, the GM range would suit.
By incorporating NdFeB (Rare Earth) magnets, the GN series offers the advantage of operating in low ambient temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F).
Ideal for demanding industrial applications that require high performance.
Excellent choice for low voltage, battery-powered, or high-speed applications.
Widely utilized in extreme high-end servo applications that demand an ultra-compact motor with precise control.
Bespoke options are available.
GPM pancake motors use standard ferrite (GPM) magnet variants as an alternative to neodymium magnets.
PMW Dynamics' bespoke service - tailor your motors to your application
PMW Dynamics' motor portfolio consists of not just standard off-the-shelf catalogue products, but also a bespoke service for unique, applications-specific motor developments.
No matter the complexity of the application, PMW's bespoke design service means they can design motors to your exact requirements!
Work with OEM and PMW at ease as our team of experts walk you through the process.
