Mclennan Servo Supplies Limited

Mclennan’s P5 series high precision instrument gearheads, based upon the international ovoid gearbox standard, have undergone some design enhancements resulting in improved delivery times and increased application durability.

New from motion and mechatronics specialists Mclennan Servo Supplies, the Leine & Linde 600 absolute encoder is now available with DeviceNet™. The highly robust 58 mm diameter fieldbus series encoder series supports 13-bit singleturn or 25-bit multiturn with screw terminal or miniature M12 connection. Mechanically, various shafted and hollow-shafted versions are available. The DeviceNet™ encoder supports encoder profile revision 2 and the functionality has been fully tested in compliance with the ODVA conformance test.

Mclennan has launched a new range of intelligent servo drives from California based Applied Motion Products Inc. The packaged BLuAC5 range includes a PWM drive stage with a rating of 5 A continuous/15 A peak and direct-on-line 90-265 VAC input. It may be configured for linear or rotary sinusoidal and trapezoidal commutated brushless servo motors with tuning made very straightforward with AMP’s Quick Tuner™ software which features a built-in digital oscilloscope. The powerful DSP based drive stage may be programmed for torque, velocity, positioning, and programmable (stand-alone) modes.

Mclennan Servo Supplies has launched a new range of 5 and 10 A intelligent stepper drives from the California based motion control innovator Applied Motion Products. The new ST series microstepping drives are available in three competitively priced versions offering a wide choice of control options that includes step and direction input, encoder following, graphical point and click programming for simple machine sequencing, and high level ASCII host control for complex multi-axis motion and machine control.

Stepper motors fitted with flying leads often require elaborate and costly modification to adapt the wiring into applications, particularly where EMC, environmental protection or smart appearance is of importance. To address the problem, Mclennan Servo Supplies Ltd, the Surrey based mechatronics solutions provider has commissioned the acclaimed Japanese manufacturer Tamagawa Seiki to produce a new range of NEMA 23 and 34 frame hybrid stepper motors complete with a terminal block and a choice of cable gland or metal ring connectors.

Measuring just 13 mm in length and 46 mm in diameter but delivering an impressive 5 Ncm holding torque, Tamagawa’s TS3218 series flat hybrid stepper motors can provide a powerful miniature positioning solution in a very restricted space. Available from Mclennan Servo Supplies Ltd, these unique 200/400 step/rev motors are supplied in 5 V and 12 V versions for unipolar and bipolar drive connection with current ratings from 0.165 to 0.25 A/phase.
