Pittman 23186 Permanent Magnet DC Motor with Encoder 17V 2500RPM

Pittman 23186 Permanent Magnet DC Motor with Encoder 17V 2500RPM

The Pittman 23186 is a compact permanent magnet DC motor with an integrated optical encoder, mounted on a metal base bracket. Rated at 17V DC with an idling current of 0.35A and an approximate no-load speed of 2500 RPM, it provides closed-loop position and velocity feedback via its built-in encoder. A hand-drawn wiring diagram accompanying the unit identifies two encoder output channels (A and B) and a +5V supply connection.

Applications

Pittman permanent magnet DC motors with integrated encoders are used in motion control and automation applications where precise speed regulation and positional feedback are required. Common uses include robotics, medical instrumentation, semiconductor handling equipment, industrial automation, and scientific instruments. The integrated encoder provides quadrature output signals that allow a motion controller to track shaft position and direction in real time, making this type of assembly well suited for servo drive systems. Pittman (now part of AMETEK) has produced fractional-horsepower DC motors of this type since the mid-twentieth century, and the 23186 series dates from the mid-1990s era of rapidly expanding use of closed-loop DC servo systems in precision equipment.
