SEW EURODRIVE is expanding its range of stainless steel servomotors with the B5 flange. This offers machine builders even more solutions that are hygienic and increases their flexibility in machine design. Visitors to this year’s interpack at Düsseldorf can get more information about the broad portfolio of hygienic drive solutions for use in applications in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
The option of a B5 flange on the stainless steel servomotor makes it easier to fit the servomotor to various stainless steel gear units from the SEW EURODRIVE modular automation system. This results in a wide variety of new combinations for a diverse range of applications. Thanks to their special housing design and use of high-quality stainless steels, the stainless steel series of helical-bevel gear units (KES..), helical gear units (RES..), and SPIROPLAN® right-angle gear units (WES..) are ideal for permanently damp environments and for meeting the requirements of the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, where hygiene is critical and cleaning is intensive.
Just like the stainless steel servomotors, their smooth surfaces are easy to clean, offer excellent resistance to acids, and are also resistant to alkalis. Indentations in the housing have been largely avoided to minimize the number of places where liquids and dirt can be deposited and accumulate. The complete design in stainless steel effectively prevents any kind of corrosion. Furthermore, all seals and connections are protected to IP 69K.
The stainless steel servo motors of the CM2H.. series have previously been available in combination with the planetary gear unit from the PSH.. series and flange option B14. Adding the option of a B5 flange has turned the motor into a hygienic all-rounder. With their hygienic design they meet the strict guidelines of the European Hygienic Engineering Design Group (EHEDG) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
