Roller bearings

Split roller bearings are available in a higher capacity package said to offer up to 38% more roller bearing load capacity with no dimensional increase. The improved capacity of the E Series due to an internal redesign with a reported increase in radial load capacity of 30% and an axial load rating increase of 20%. The bearing construction uses a prefabricated steel cage and an increased number of longer and larger rollers for cost effectiveness and longer operational life.

Brushless motor

This company says that its 22-mm brushless 22BC motor now offers enhanced performance and life. Both the 50W (long) and 15W (short) versions of the motor have repositioned bearings and improved rotor balance, which provides noise reduction along with lifetime improvement. The company also says that the magnetic circuit has been improved to give a 40% motor constant increase for the longer model.
