The FAULHABER Series 3274 BP4 Brushless DC Motor from MICROMO

A Flyweight with Heavyweight Performance

In the fight for high performance with minimum weight, FAULHABERs 3274 BP4 is the new champion in the ring. The brushless DC servo motor, measuring 32 mm in diameter and 74 mm in length, has massive continuous torque of 165 mNm. Surprisingly, it weighs in at just under 320 g, which is half the weight of conventional motors with comparable power.


The four‐pole brushless DC servo motor is ideal for applications in which high power and dynamic start/stop operation with the lowest possible total weight is an important factor. Perfect application fits include humanoid robots, electric grippers used in process automation and high‐performance traction drives used in inspection robotics.

The 3274 BP4 is overload‐resistant and operates without wear‐prone mechanical commutation. As a result, its operational lifetime is many times longer than that of a conventional DC micro motor. The slope of the motor characteristic curve is just 3 rpm/mNm, with a stall torque of 2.7 Nm. The 3274 BP4 can reliably deliver what the application demands even under the harshest ambient conditions, such as at low temperatures or high mechanical loads (e.g. in aerospace applications). This is made possible by a robust stainless steel housing and the omission of adhesives, which are otherwise usually used for assembly.

One standout feature of this motor series is the high flexibility in its design. The FAULHABER series 3274 BP4 is equipped as standard with digital hall sensors. High‐resolution optical and magnetic encoders can be attached with ease to the rear multifunction flange. As an option, the motor is also available with analog (linear) hall sensors that can replace an encoder in many applications. Finally, a large selection of optimal performance precision gearheads rounds off the complete drive system.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
