Pittman Series 8000 brush-commutated dc motors feature a 7-slot skewed armature design to minimize magnetic cogging (reluctance torque) and promote smooth and quiet operation. Family of motors is suited for a wide range of power applications in data storage, medical, semiconductor, and automation industries. They come in three lengths (2.070, 2.445, and 2.915 in.) and can achieve peak torques up to 16.8 oz-in. and speeds to 10,650 rpm for standard motors at rated voltages. Speed, voltage, current, and torque characteristics can be varied to meet specific needs. Copper graphite brushes are standard.
