        Shaft motors with non-contact magnetic counterweight from Dynetics

Shaft motors with non-contact magnetic counterweight from Dynetics

If shaft motors are used vertically, a counterweight is required to compensate the effect of gravity. Without a counterweight, the motor shaft would fall when de-energised. In conventional designs, the spring counterweight is a critical component as the spring ages over time and requires special attention in terms of maintenance. An innovative, maintenance-free counterweight called gLESS utilises magnetic force and enables uniform movement.
