Rotary Tattoo Machine Motors

 How can we help?

Challenge 
Rotary tattoo machines are becoming a popular
choice for artists
Contact Us versus the traditional coil machines. As opposed to
electromagnetic coils, a rotary machine uses a DC coreless motor (https://www.portescap.com/products/brush-dc-
 Call
motor/athlonix-high-power-density-brush-dc-motors) an Engineer
to drive the needles, making the machine lighter in weight and
quieter. These rotary machines are easier to set up and require less tuning and lower maintenance than the traditional coil
machines. The lighter weight makes the machines easier to handle and reduces the strain on the artist, allowing longer
work time during tattoo applications.

Portescap offers several options in DC coreless products that are ideally suited for rotary tattoo machines. Our 16N78,
17N78 and 22N78 provide high torque and speed output at a given input voltage, allowing the artist to create clean,
beautiful tattoos on various skin types. Higher efficiency (https://www.portescap.com/motor-solutions/motor-efficiency)
keeps the motor temperature low, maintaining a comfortable grip temperature for the artist using the rotary machine.

Benefits 

High efficiency for lower grip temparture (low losses) during operation
Higher speed at torque points allows cleaner inking
Precious metal commutation for increased reliability (low maintenance) and reduced noise level
 Variable and broader spectrum of speed and torque to serve all skin types

Customization Options 
Front ball bearing to handle eccentric load
Shaft modifications
Motor terminals for easy connection
Coil voltage options to meet lining/shading requirements
