The recently announced 600 series inductive technology absolute position encoders from Leine & Linde are now available in the UK from Mclennan Servo Supplies. The highly durable industrial grade encoder employs the well proven and high reliability mechanical design of the Swedish encoder specialists 600 series, with extra space made for larger and more robust bearings that increase operational service life.

Applied Motion Products latest version of its ST Configurator GUI is now available from Mclennan Servo Supplies. The software supports set-up, configuration, programming and firmware management across the USA motion specialists entire range of configurable intelligent microstepping drives, including the popular DC powered ST line, the STM integrated drive+motor and the AC powered STAC drives.

Mclennan Servo Supplies has introduced a new low cost absolute encoder system in a very compact kit-form that suits both rotary and linear motion applications. The new NEMO3 encoders from NUMERIK JENA are aimed at OEMs and machine builders that require space saving and inexpensive high resolution absolute position feedback integrated directly into their machines.

The long-standing distribution partnership between Mclennan Servo Supplies and Allied Motion Inc. has been extended with the Surrey based mechatronics specialists increasing its product line coverage of the prominent USA and European motion control manufacturers direct-drive torque motors, brushless servo motors, high performance servo drives and encoders.

A compact and durable incremental micro encoder, capable of 100,000 counts per rev with a bandwidth up 16 MHz, is available from Mclennan Servo Supplies. The new Ulthemius® Micro Encoder from NUMERIK JENA is just 16 mm in diameter, and with a nominal length of less than 20 mm, weighs under 12 grams. The encoder is also available in an optional analogue version with a sine/cosine output to 1250 periods/rev, and thanks to its highly integrated design both output types include UVW commutation signals for 4-, 6- or 8-poles - so can provide a neat solution for cost-optimised OEM applications for servo motion control.

Mclennan Servo Supplies has launched a new low cost miniature brushed DC gearmotor from its Italian distribution partner Micro-Motors s.r.l. The B138F features a durable spur gearbox in a 34 mm diameter moulded plastic housing with three point mounting built-in for straightforward installation. With an overall length of just 37.5 mm, a wide range of standard reduction ratios are available from 12.25:1 to 1470.82:1, with maximum output torque from 1.5 Ncm to 50 Ncm. The sturdy gearmotor boasts a 20 N radial shaft loading with axial shaft load to 5 N. Steel housed gearbox versions are also available for increased application durability.

Mclennan has launched a new range of motorised belt-driven rotary stages from USA servo-mechanics innovator Bell-Everman that combine high precision positioning with excellent dynamic capability in a competitively priced package.

Now available from Mclennan Servo Supplies, the recently announced Ametek Pittman brand AB series brushless servo motors, available in NEMA 23, 34 and 56 frame sizes. These high performance motors provide speeds from 2800 rpm to 5200 rpm and continuous stall torques from 0.42 Nm to 12.88 Nm in a wide selection of motor lengths to suit motion control applications ranging from medical and industrial equipment to instrumentation and automation machinery.

As the exclusive UK distributor for Italian small motor specialists Micro-Motors s.r.l., Mclennan Servo Supplies has launched two new planetary brushed DC gearmotors for medium and high torque miniature power transmission applications. The E192 and P205 series both feature low-backlash precision grade planetary gearboxes with dual bearing output shaft support for maximum life and load carrying capacity. The E192 returns 300 Ncm maximum torque and the larger P205 is specified at 900 Ncm.
