SS50 by Danaher

The Danaher SS50 is a high-performance unit within the Slo-Syn Synchronous Motors series, designed for demanding industrial environments. This synchronous motor operates on a nominal input voltage of 28 VDC with a wide Input Voltage range from 20 VDC to 36.5 VDC, ensuring stable power delivery under fluctuating conditions. With an Output Power rating of 500 VA and a nominal Efficiency of 85%, it strikes an optimal balance between energy conservation and robust performance. Weighing just 4.3 lbs (1.95 kg), the SS50 offers a compact footprint that simplifies integration into existing systems.

The SS50’s advanced technical capabilities cater to precise power control and clean waveform generation. It draws a nominal Input Current of 20.7 A at full load and only 0.5 A when idle, minimizing standby losses. The motor delivers a stable Output Voltage of 115 VAC across a tolerance band of 108 to 120 VAC, combined with an Output Current of 4.34 A AC (rms) at full load. Operating at a fixed Output Frequency of 60 Hz, it provides a Single phase Sine Output Waveform with just 0.5% Harmonic Distortion, ensuring minimal interference with sensitive electronics. A flexible Power Factor range from +0.8 to –0.8 allows efficient handling of reactive loads, while tight Regulation parameters of 1% line, 1% load, and 2.5% temperature maintain output stability under varying conditions.

Operational resilience is a hallmark of the SS50 design. Its rapid Response Time of 300 µSec from no load to full load delivers near-instantaneous adaptation to transient demands. The motor sustains Overload Capacity of 110% for two hours and up to 150% for five minutes, protecting equipment during surges or peak loads. Consistent performance and low energy loss are assured by the 85% nominal efficiency rating, translating into reduced operational costs over extended duty cycles. The lightweight form factor and robust construction minimize mechanical stress and facilitate fast installation and maintenance.

Integration of the SS50 into industrial automation platforms is effortless due to its standardized electrical interface and compact dimensions. It complements conveyor systems, packaging machinery, and precision indexing equipment where reliable synchronization is essential. This motor’s combination of clean single-phase output, rapid response, and overload tolerance makes it ideal for robotics, labeling, or indexing tables. Engineers will appreciate the SS50’s seamless integration into existing control architectures within the Danaher Slo-Syn family, offering straightforward scalability for advanced motion control applications.
