Synchronous servo motor – compact, dynamic, and resource-efficient

With the DIP, AMKmotion is launching a new generation of synchronous servo motors. They impress with their high power density, compact design, and up to three times the acceleration of comparable drives. The reluctance component reduces the use of rare earths.

“With the new DIP, we have developed a true all-rounder,” emphasizes Marc Scheer, Head of Inside Sales at AMKmotion. “Our goal was to create an energy-efficient synchronous servo motor that offers high power density, is extremely dynamic, and requires significantly less power than comparable models while delivering the same acceleration.” Users benefit from shorter process cycles and higher productivity. Since less energy is required for axis movement, the overall power consumption is reduced. This has a direct impact on the design of the machine: it can be constructed more compactly and operated more efficiently, as no oversized cooling systems or safety distances are necessary.

More torque, less magnet

Thanks to an optimized magnetic circuit, AMKmotion was able to reduce inertia to one-third compared to drives of the same design. “This enables the new synchronous servo motors to respond more quickly to setpoint changes and be controlled more precisely,” explains Benjamin Abdic, Product Manager Motors at AMKmotion. “The result is more accurate systems and consistently high product quality.” The reluctance component ensures high torque, which means that no additional magnetic material is required and the use of rare earths can be significantly reduced.

At the same time, the DIP achieves three times the acceleration capacity of synchronous servo motors of identical design, such as the DT10 from AMKmotion. “With its enormous torque and high speed, the DIP offers more power and speed in the smallest of spaces,” says Abdic. The result: shorter process cycles, lower energy costs, and increased productivity.

Shorter cycle times, more precise operation

The new synchronous servo motors are used, for example, in the printing and packaging industry, in punching and cutting systems or in conveyor and packaging systems. There, the DIP shortens cycle times and ensures repeatable movements. In test benches and test systems, for example for dynamic load simulations or torque control, fast load changes can be realized with precision.

In the plastics industry, the motor shortens cycle times and increases injection speeds, for example in injection molding, thermoforming, or film stretching machines. “This enables manufacturers to produce even more precise filigree components,” says Scheer.

Flexible adaptation

Like all AMKmotion servo motors, the DIP series can be precisely adapted to customer requirements in terms of winding and size and fits seamlessly into the AMKmotion system. “With the modular components from our construction kit, we can implement tailor-made solutions,” says Abdic.

AMKmotion currently offers size 10 in a power range from 5 to 100 kW. Additional sizes and lengths, development variants, and different cooling types such as convection, liquid, or forced air cooling will follow. "With its high dynamics and power density
