Cloud Electric offers a variety of permanent magnet DC pancake brushed motors. The brush-type ME-0708 and high efficiency, 4 Hp ME-0909 pancake motors are capable of 4.8 kW continuous and 15 kW for one minute for use with electrathons, motorcycles, go-karts, ride-on trains, boats, or robots, while the ME-0709 can be used for similar applications that require higher torque.

Applimotion manufactures UTH Series pancake motors geared to high outputs and high motor constants. These pancake motors can be found in diameters between 29 and 533 mm with kinetic energy ranging from <5 to 2,700 V/krpm, torque from 0.6 to 11,074 oz/in, and single-slot wound stators for more consistent performance and reliability.

Printed Motor Works offers printed (pancake) motors to handle extreme acceleration, from 0 to 3,000 RPM in 60 degrees of rotation. This is possible due to motors that can handle peak currents up to 10x the continuous rating, and that create no torque ripple. Because these pancake motors lack iron cores, they do not store energy to be dissipated during commutation, so they lack arcing, as well.

Haydon Kerk manufactures pancake rotary motors with low profiles and high torque for applications in relatively flat spaces. Utilizing a patented enlarged rotor with low inductance coils, the motors provide superior torque and continuous performance. The 80000 Series pancake stepper is designed for applications where accurate positioning and thin packaging are desirable.

Heinzmann manufactures brushless, EL-EC disc (pancake) motors that are maintenance-free and durable. The 11B single-sided pancake motors offer the flattest design, with speeds from 1,500 to 6,000 RPM and torque from 2.5 to 28 Nm, depending on size. These can be used in the construction of common machines, for printing units and machine tools, and to drive pumps and generations. The 22B double-sided pancake motors offer addition torque, ranging from up to 3.8 Nm for the smallest size, to 40 Nm for the largest, for applications that require higher torque, speed, or power demand.

Baumuller manufactures disc (pancake) motors in compact, flat designs that can fit in axial spaces as small as 36.5 mm. The GDM DC pancake motors are permanent magnet motors with ironless rotors and barrel commutators, meaning that they are low in inertia and highly dynamic throughout the whole speed range. These include the compact GDM 75-12 Series, as well as the GDM 100-250 motors with their ironless rotors and barrel commutators.

Granite Devices offers a high torque, low RPM pancake motor kit for direct drive applications. The motor is capable of 70 Nm continuous torque and 210 Nm peak torque, 0 to 250 RPM speed, and 88% typical efficiency at full speed and load. Typical total thickness is 82 mm, while maximum external diameter is 310 mm. Applications include direct drive robotic arm, precision feeding, direct drive power generators, and industrial direct drive speed, torque, or position control.

MicroMo sells flat, brushless DC motors that offer no cogging, hysteresis, or eddy current losses. Micromotors are available in the 15 mm 1509B Series and 26 mm 2610B Series, which offer speeds to 16,000 RPM and 7,000 RPM and stall torques to 0.97 mNm and 7.73 mNm. The regular flat brushless DC motors come in the 12 mm 1202BH and 16 mm 1608BH, which provide speeds to 60,000 RPM and 12,000 RPM, and stall torques to 0.14 mNm and 0.203 mNm. Other available options include high precision gearboxes, and autoclavable and vacuum-rated motors.

Kollmorgen features the ServoDisc motor that features a flat, thin armature design which rotates in an axial airgap, resulting in a minimal axial form factor. Its slotless and ironless design creates a motor that exhibits zero cogging during application, in addition to a 12 to 33 Nm torque range, 1.2+ billion revolution operating life, and acceleration that goes from 0 to 4,000 RPMs in under 60 degrees of rotation in 10 milliseconds. Moreover, the DC design and low voltage requirements allow the motor to be operated with simple, cost-effective drive electronics, or with battery power.

Maxon manufactures flat, brushless DC motors from 6 to 90 mm and 0.03 to 90 watts. Motors with outer rotors are meant for barcode scanners, robotics, air samplers, conveyors, etc., and offer long service life, relatively high intertia, and low detent; they are also available with or without Hall sensors. Motors with inner rotors (EC-i) can be used in robotics and industrial automation, and provide excellent volume/performance ratio and service life.

Jaguar Precision Industry (JPI) is a designer and manufacturer of motors, including coreless flat motors. Most units are available in either 12V or 24V, in rosh, golden, and black colors, and in a variety of diameters. If stocked parts do not meet customer specifications, the company also does custom manufacturing.
