(54) | DIRECT DRIVE SEED METERING DEVICE |
(57) A direct drive seed metering device for sowing machines operated by vacuum or high
pressure and driven by a coaxial electric motor (03), comprising a seed metering disc
(02) for capturing seeds (07) from a reservoir (21) and laying them in a controlled
manner in a furrow in the soil, wherein the coaxial electrical motor couples directly
and coaxially to the metering disc without the need for intermediate transmission
elements, redactors, gears or timing belts, and where said coaxial electrical motor
is a toroidal electric motor with a hollow rotor shaft (03.1), which fluidly connects
seed capturing means of the seed metering disc with a vacuum or high pressure generating
means.
