Läpimoottorit

Läpimoottorit, often translated as through-hole motors, are a type of electric motor designed with a central shaft that passes completely through the motor's housing. This design allows for mounting and integration in a more flexible manner compared to conventional motors where the shaft typically extends from one end. The through-hole configuration enables the motor to be positioned between two components, with the shaft acting as a connection point for mechanisms on either side. This can be particularly useful in applications where space is limited or where a compact and integrated solution is desired.

The construction of a läpimoottori typically involves a stator and a rotor assembly. The stator, which contains the windings, is often housed in a cylindrical casing. The rotor, responsible for generating the rotational force, is positioned within the stator. The key distinguishing feature is the shaft that extends through both the rotor and the stator, emerging from both ends of the motor housing. This allows for the motor to be securely mounted by clamping or fastening the shaft or the motor body itself to supporting structures.

Läpimoottorit find applications in various industries, including automation, robotics, and manufacturing. They are commonly used in conveyor systems, where the shaft can drive multiple belts or rollers. In robotic arms, they can facilitate complex movements by allowing connections to multiple joints or actuators. Their compact nature and dual-shaft access also make them suitable for specialized machinery and integrated drive systems. The specific type of läpimoottori, such as DC or AC, brush or brushless, depends on the power requirements and control needs of the intended application.
