Motors & Drives

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions announces the release of the DCM4826X stepper motor drive module. The DCM4826X is a bipolar 2 phase chopper drive package rated for a 12-48VDC input voltage and a continuous output current rating of 2.6A rms (3.68A peak) per phase. The drive can be used with rotary stepper motors or stepper motor-based linear actuators and can be configured for full step, half step, or microstep (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64 step size).

Midwest Motion Products, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of a new DC Motor, with integral Analog Tachometer, the Model No. MMP D22-376F-24V T-03-C. Accepting any 24 Volt DC source, this compact Motor measures just 2.24” in Diameter, by 5.4” long, including the 3.0V/Krpm analog tach. The output shaft is 0.3150” diameter by 1.18 Inches long. Easy mounting is accomplished with 4 through holes, measuring 0.19”, equally spaced on a 3.15” Dia. B.C. on an aluminum flange measuring 2.56” Square.

Heason Technology has launched a new 15 mm diameter miniature precision rotary servo motor from Nanomotion as a direct-drive solution that features the unique operating characteristics of the ceramic motor specialists technology - providing inherent braking and the ability to eliminate servo dither when in a static position – even under power-off conditions.

The new RSP (Retraction System Pneumatic) adjustable retraction system from igus is for multi-axis robot applications. Adjustable retraction system for safe and consistent cable and hose guidance.

Heason Technology's new H series linear actuators are aimed at OEM positioning applications in automated manufacturing and test equipment where competitive cost vs. performance and maximum flexibility is required.

Baldor has expanded its RPM AC range of super-high-efficiency, permanent magnet based motors, to power output levels of 900 kW (1200 HP).

Complete joint module system now ready for action

Effective automation is an important element in minimising unit costs and assuring quality but there are many applications in the packaging sector where an off-the-shelf solution is not an option. To build the bespoke system the designer needs the supply of reliable components, sub-assemblies and even complete turnkey solutions and this is where linear motion specialist, HepcoMotion®, has considerable strength.

WEG is providing the highest levels of energy efficiency and protection in hazardous environments, following the launch of the W22X range of flameproof electric motors, which were shown as part of WEG’s extensive automation portfolio at the SPS/IPC/Drives 2011 exhibition at Nuremberg.

Increased torque and performance at pressure, longer life and significantly enhanced EMC characteristics are innovations provided by a new range of 230VAC motors introduced by Becktech for Aquatec 3-chamber diaphragm pump heads.
