Introduction to compact servo motors with a through shaft for cable drums
Drive solutions for cable drums require high performance with low space requirements. A compact servo motor with a through shaft for cable drums optimizes applications and significantly increases efficiency. We are happy to assist you with a personal consultation on these specialized drives.
Cable drums require reliable, precise, and especially compact drives. A servo motor with a through hole, specifically designed for such applications, allows for significant space savings and the direct passage of media. This reduces machine complexity (e.g., by eliminating external slip rings), simplifies maintenance, and increases the lifespan of the overall system. ATEK offers a wide range of servo motors, including such special designs.
Mastering the challenge
Tight space requirements combined with high performance demands present a significant challenge in mechanical engineering. Choosing a suitable motor, such as a compact servo motor with a through shaft for cable drums, creates crucial design flexibility. ATEK motors can often be up to 30% shorter than comparable standard motors. Hollow shafts for direct drives offer similar advantages in terms of space savings and integration.
What makes a compact servo motor with a through shaft for cable drums so unique?
The direct media passage through the central opening of the motor significantly reduces the required space, simplifies designs, and minimizes the need for additional components like external slip rings. This not only improves compactness but also the reliability of the system. ATEK offers well-thought-out drive train solutions..Benefits of servo motors with a through shaft in cable drum applications
Ein compact servo motor with a through shaft for cable drums provide crucial advantages such as space savings and improved process control. This is achieved through a high power density that allows for precise operation even with heavy cables or high accelerations.

Maximum performance, minimum space
Compact servo motors with a through shaft are characterized by a particularly high power density. Products like the AKM2G servo motors from Kollmorgen realize high torques and often enable a reduction in overall lengths of up to 25%, which significantly increases efficiency per unit volume and makes the use of a compact servo motor with a through shaft for cable drums particularly attractive.
Precision and dynamics in focus
An exact cable winding is crucial to prevent damage and maximize the lifespan of the cables. Servo motors with integrated shaft openings control speed and position with high precision, which is essential for cable longevity and process safety (e.g., ensuring constant tensile force with deviations of only ±1%). Proper parameterization, for example with JMC iHSV57 servos, is fundamental. See also our information on high-torque servo motors..Technical aspects and selection criteria
Choosing the right servo motor with a through shaft is crucial for the performance of the cable drum application. Important technical details include the required torque, speed, encoder type, and the necessary protection class (e.g., different requirements for a harbor crane compared to medical technology). Accurate specifications for your compact servo motor with a through shaft for cable drums avoid over-dimensioning and optimize overall costs. The STÖBER EZ series, for example, provides high-resolution EnDat® 3 encoders.
- Choosing the right motor, especially one compact servo motor with a through shaft for cable drums, is crucial for the performance and reliability of the application.
- Important selection criteria include the exact torque requirement, the required speed range, as well as the resolution and type of encoder.
