AmpFlow high-performance A28 motors are designed to give the highest level of performance possible in a brushed DC motor. This is achieved by advanced design and the use of neodymium rare-earth magnet material.

The mid-range F30 motors are designed for the highest performance and efficiency while still using the less expensive ferrite magnets.

On Sale! Fan-cooled A28 motors are designed for applications that require longer duty cycles and even higher power outputs. Low-profile leads enable more compact installations. Available for 24V and 48V.

The economy E30 motors are designed to give good performance at the lowest possible price.


All motors on this page are available with the optional AmpFlow speed reducer or planetary speed reducer.


We stock all the motors on this page. Custom motors are also available with a minimum order of 24 units.

The fan motors have ventilation holes in the front and rear aluminum plates to allow for flow-through cooling. The holes in the front plate are positioned so they are not blocked when mounting the motor to a flat surface. These motors also feature low-profile motor leads for better fit into smaller spaces.


1 The above specifications are for the motor's nominal voltage. The motors can also be used at lower or higher voltages. The RPM is proportional to the voltage, so running at half the nominal voltage will result in half the speed, and twice the voltage will double the speed. The maximum achievable torque is also proportional to the voltage. Shorter duty cycles are recommended for higher voltages to allow the motors time to cool. Please note that the above torque figures are the theoretical peak torques when stalled. Operating any high-performance motor while stalled will damage it.


2 Theoretical peak power is 11.5 HP. Power at the recommended short-term current limit of 200A is 9.1 HP. The current required to reach 7260 oz-in is far outside the safe operating limits of this motor. This figure is theoretical and should be used for comparative purposes only.




Efficiency



Getting high efficiency from a low-voltage motor is not easy. There are many factors that affect efficiency. We have optimized each of these factors to achieve very high efficiency in these motors.
