SmartNews January | New IP65 SmartMotor Is Washdown Ready


January 2011

Introducing the first harsh environment product from Animatics:

IP65 rated SM34165MT-IP SmartMotor™


The new SM34165MT-IP can withstand splashing water, oil and food debris as well as rainy environments.The motor casing is completely dust tight and protected from liquid entry at any angle, rendering no harmful effects on the electrical enclosures. The sturdy design and thicker motor casing provides protection, durability, and resists cable stresses, meaning a longer motor life and less down time.

Conditions with high levels of humidity and condensation are not a problem, making the SM34165MT-IP with the IP65 rating the perfect integrated servo for food and beverage manufacturing and packaging, rugged outdoor conditions, as well as a wet processing environment.

In addition, the SM34165MT-IP has the option for upgrade to an IP67 rating. These products provide the same level of particulate protection, with the added advantage of being submersible up to one meter deep in water or other non-hazardous liquids for up to 30 minutes. Applications are endless for IP65 and IP67 SmartMotor servos.

New Application Opportunities:

  • Wafer processing
  • Bottle capping
  • Seal testing
  • Ultrasonic testing
  • Marine/Aerospace
  • Pipe runners
  • Mobile field equipment
  • Coating/spraying
  • Lens grinding
  • Contact lens manufacturing
  • High density metal machining
  • Polishing operations
  • Agricultural processing machines
  • Electroplating machines
  • Circuit board processing
  • Lap grinding machines
  • Powder coating
  • Resin slurry processing
  • Glue dispensing
  • Rubber processing

What are IP Ratings?
IP ratings are in accordance with the code defined in international standard IEC 60529. Instead of the vague descriptions of "waterproof", "water-resistant" or "dust-proof", the IP rating system provides a uniform, quantifiable set of standards to which each product is rigorously tested. The IP code refers to the degree of protection for the electrical enclosures on a machine against liquid, solid objects and particulates. The first number following "IP" refers to the level of protection of the hazardous parts and electrical enclosures against solid objects and particulates, and the second digit indicates the level of water resistance. The higher the first digit rating in the IP system, the smaller the foreign object that it is protected against. The SM34165MT is IP65 rated (with the option for IP67) and thus has the highest possible protection from solid matter: it is completely dust-tight. With this rating, any wood, concrete, wheat or grain, plaster or other material processing applications usually resulting in fine byproducts are completely accessible with the SM34165MT-IP

Note: Optional vent line fitting available upon specific request. Please consult factory for more details.
