High-torque drive
For demanding industrial shredding applications
Enormous forces are required for shredding, e.g., hard plastic parts. To ensure that the machines are constantly operational, the key components must be particularly robust. This is where Baumüller's high-torque drive excels: The high-torque motor is a high-pole electric direct drive. The drive system with high-torque motor achieves high torque even at low speeds.

Robust technology for maximum service life
High-Torque drive train from Baumüller
The high-torque, multi-pole synchronous motor from Baumüller enables a high degree of insensitivity to foreign objects during the shredding process. The drive is resistant to shocks and vibrations and therefore has a particularly long service life – even when shredding challenging material flows. In addition, a slip clutch between the gearbox and motor protects the gearbox and rotor shaft from damage in the event of a blockage. Torque and speed can be precisely adjusted via a servo drive to achieve optimal results in terms of throughput and quality of the shredded material.
Low energy consumption thanks to direct drive
The use of direct drive technology reduces energy consumption by up to 30 percent. In addition, the drive is very easy to regulate and control. As the speed decreases, the torque increases – ideal for the shredding process. The low noise level is another advantage of the drive from Baumüller.

Consistently high torque
Due to its motor characteristics, the high-torque motor enables high peak and rated torques across the entire speed range. The maximum torque from zero speed also allows restarting when the machine is full.
With servo drives and the use of encoder systems, the torque motors can also be controlled highly dynamically and react immediately to load changes. This results in high throughput and maximum machine availability, which benefits high productivity. The excellent speed stability also leads to a homogeneous shredding result.
Baumüller high-torque motors for high torques
The coordinated complete system consisting of motor, converter, gearbox, and slip clutch for shredders ensures perfect connection of the rotor shaft to the drive train and thus optimal power transmission. The new drive technology scores points with higher energy efficiency and significantly increases the reliability of the shredders. The innovative drive system thus not only enables more economical operation, but also more sustainable production. Thanks to direct power transmission and high torque, it delivers optimum performance, especially when processing demanding material flows.
