5. GENERAL INFORMATION FOR BRINKMANN BELT DRIVE TURNTABLES
Brinkmann Sinus Motor
For over two decades Brinkman Turntables employed the
highly-regarded German manufacturer Papst to supply Tape
Capstan motors for use in our belt drive turntables. Techni-
cally and musically we had good results with this motor in
Helmut Brinkmann’s extensive research and development
program, which resulted in the development of our bespo-
ke, direct drive motor for the Oasis and Bardo turntables
and how to apply this knowledge to reduce cogging in a
motor. The next logical step was to apply this knowledge
to the design of a new motor for the belt drive turntables.
Compared to the Papst, Brinkmann’s new Sinus
circuitry—as opposed to the commonly used two-phase design used by Pabst and others--enab-

supply, which also enhances Brinkmann direct drive motors.
