Description
1. Product Description
The Mannesmann Demag KBS 100 B 12 is a continuous-duty torque motor designed for industrial drive applications requiring low-speed operation and controlled torque. It is part of the Demag KBS motor series, commonly used in winding drives, cable drum systems, and material-handling equipment.
Unlike conventional motors optimized primarily for high rotational speed, the KBS torque motor is designed to provide substantial torque at low speeds and can operate at standstill under specified conditions. Its torque characteristics support controlled winding and unwinding, as well as driving and braking applications. The motor is suitable for compatible Demag drive systems where precise torque behavior is required.
The KBS 100 B 12 has a nominal torque rating of approximately 3.6 Nm at 100% cyclic duration factor (CDF). Available product information identifies 220/380 V, 50 Hz operation and current ratings of approximately 2.2/1.25 A. Before installation, verify the nameplate, mounting arrangement, terminal configuration, and compatibility with the existing Demag drive equipment.
