DC Permanent Magnet

Precision DC Power

ABB Baldor-Reliance® DC permanent-magnet motors combine compact design, high efficiency and robust low-speed torque delivery. Their inherent precision, responsive speed regulation and low-maintenance operation make them well-suited for high-cycle applications including robotics, packaging systems and industrial automation.

Features that matter

Delivers compact, energy-efficient DC power with high torque, precise speed control and low maintenance—ideal for customers needing responsive, reliable motion in demanding applications.

High Starting Torque

Delivers the strong low-speed torque required for machines that start under load or require fine positioning (e.g., feeders, robotics, actuators).

Precise Speed Control

A tachometer provides accurate speed feedback, enabling tighter speed control and more consistent, precise machine performance.

Energy Efficiency

Permanent-magnet excitation reduces energy loss compared to wound-field designs, lowering operating costs.

Versatile

Offered in standard, washdown and explosion-proof designs—along with C-face mounting options—for flexible integration across a wide range of environments and applications.

Flexible performance

Wide voltage options (12–600 VDC) and a broad speed range give you the flexibility to meet diverse process requirements while maintaining precise control and consistent 20:1 constant torque performance.
