Over 20 years of technical continuity and partnership instead of short-term optimisations

Challenge

Polytronic faces the following challenges in the development of its systems:

• High mechanical stress during continuous operation
• Long product life cycles of the end systems
• Consistent performance even under changing environmental conditions
• Planning reliability for spare parts and series production 

A product change or lack of long-term availability of motors usually means high costs, redesigns and unnecessary risks.
 

Long-standing partnership

Polytronic and Antrimon now have a partnership spanning more than 20 years. During this time, Antrimon has consistently supplied the TG82 product series with drive solutions, in particular customisable brush DC motors. In the case of Polytronic, this is the M63x40 brushed DC motor.
 

The drive solution

The M63x40 impresses with:

• Optimal ratio of size to torque
• Robust DC technology for long-term use
• Standardised design with high repeat accuracy
• Long-term availability across several product generations
• Can be combined with encoders, brakes and other accessories

The standardised yet flexible motor platform enabled Polytronic to build its TG82 systems in a modular fashion and develop them further over many years – without making any fundamental changes to the drive concept.
 

Added value for Polytronic

• Reliable drive solution for continuous operation 
• Long service life of the systems used
• Reduced engineering and maintenance costs
• Planning reliability thanks to a stable supply chain
• Consistent product quality over many years

The motors supplied by Antrimon are now an integral part of TG82 Polytronic systems and have been making a significant contribution to functional reliability and precision for two decades.
 

Conclusion

The collaboration between Polytronic and Antrimon shows how reliable standard DC motors, combined with technical continuity and partnership, can create a decisive competitive advantage over many years.

Over 20 years of successful cooperation underscore: long-term availability, technical stability and partnership-based cooperation are key success factors in industrial drive technology.
