GN Series Motors
- Rugged DC shunt-wound motors feature infinitely variable control
- Designed for 20 journeys per shift (8h)
- Short-term 3-fold overload permissible
- Battery powered, automated guided vehicle system
Heavy-load transporters are used to transport the casting ladles from the warehouse to the casting house.
Battery powered and robust DC shunt-wound motor GN 17.17.4 for trouble-free operation without trailing cable.
To drive a 100-ton transport vehicle for casting ladles, the system needs adjustable DC motors powered by a 48V battery. These motors, connected to a gearbox, not only reach a speed of 10 m/min but also give full torque across the entire speed range, with a 3-fold short-term overload ability. Furthermore, the vehicle’s 625 Ah battery provides at least 200 minutes of runtime, allowing for 20 trips per shift. Therefore, the motor output must meet these needs effectively and reliably.
For each transport vehicle, Johannes Hübner Giessen supplied two low-voltage shunt-wound DC motors from the GN 17 series, along with a built-in spring-loaded brake. Additionally, these motors include a fan for cooling and are specifically designed for on-and-off use (S3 42% CDF). Moreover, they provide a rated torque of 17 Nm and can also handle a short-term overload of up to 50 Nm. Furthermore, a BAMOBIL battery controller effectively manages power to the DC motor, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.
