Overview
The Transtecno Alu BLDC range is a modular aluminium brushless DC gearmotor platform for compact low voltage machinery. It combines 24, 36 and 48 Vdc brushless DC motors with aluminium gearbox families, giving machinery builders and maintenance teams a complete motor, gearbox and control package rather than separate components selected in isolation.
The range is suited to DC applications that need reduced dimensions, high efficiency and controllable speed. Brushless DC motors can be paired with CMB helical bevel, FT helical parallel, CM worm and P planetary gearbox families, with additional Alu BLDC configurations available across the catalogue.
Gearmotor Families In The Alu BLDC Range
The Alu BLDC catalogue covers brushless DC motors, helical bevel gearmotors, helical parallel gearmotors, wormgearmotors, planetary gearmotors and BLD brushless DC motor controls. This allows the same low voltage brushless platform to be configured around different shaft layouts and reduction types.
For compact right-angle drives, BLCM and BLCL wormgearmotors are a practical choice. For higher torque density, BLPM planetary gearmotors suit compact automation and positioning applications. BLCMB helical bevel and BLFT helical parallel gearmotors are useful where the application needs efficient geared reduction with a different shaft arrangement.
IP20, IP55 And IP66 Options
The official Alu BLDC range is organised around IP20, IP55 and IP66 product families. IP20 configurations cover compact BL motor, BLCM wormgearmotor and BLPM planetary gearmotor options. IP55 expands the range into higher power brushless motors and larger gearmotor families, including helical in-line, helical bevel, helical parallel, worm, planetary and double reduction gearmotor configurations.
For applications where environmental protection is important, the IP66 branch includes BLS motors, BLCM wormgearmotors and BLPM planetary gearmotors in lower power compact sizes. The correct protection level should be selected around dust, moisture, washdown exposure and the actual mounting position.
Key Features
Alu BLDC gearmotors are useful where the machine needs low voltage power, electronic commutation, efficient speed control and a compact mechanical package. Compared with brushed DC gearmotors, brushless motors avoid brush wear and are better suited to applications where long service life, cleaner operation and precise control are priorities.
Supported gearbox families use aluminium housings to keep the drive package compact, while helical gearbox variants use ground helical gears for smooth power transmission. Permanent synthetic oil lubrication across supported gearbox families helps reduce routine maintenance requirements under catalogue operating conditions.
Common Applications
Transtecno Alu BLDC gearmotors are used in battery powered equipment, compact automation, conveyor drives, packaging machinery, indexing systems, mobile equipment and OEM drive packages. They are especially helpful when the application needs a low voltage geared drive with higher efficiency than a brushed DC alternative.
The range also suits replacement projects where an older low voltage drive needs to be upgraded to a brushless solution. In these cases, it is important to confirm the voltage, output speed, torque, mounting arrangement, shaft dimensions and controller requirements before quoting a replacement.
Selection Considerations
Choosing the right Alu BLDC gearmotor starts with the available DC supply voltage, required output speed, torque, ratio and duty cycle. The next step is choosing the gearbox family based on shaft layout, mechanical efficiency, available space and environmental protection requirement.
The motor controller should be considered at the same time as the motor and gearbox. Brushless DC motors require an appropriate BLD controller, and the control method, speed reference, current limit, feedback requirements and enclosure environment all affect the final selection.
