Intelligent brushless DC motors fit in a compact package

Aug. 30, 2012
Mouse over the green markers on your computer screen to identify each part of the motor system — motor, gearing, control logic and power, fieldbus interface, encoder and brake — all put together into a compact plug-and-play motion control system. The units are ruggedized for applications from factory automation all the way to solar tracking.

The motors feature high efficiency, highly dynamic acceleration and high power density, and are available with various combinations of electronic commutation, integrated speed control, parameterization software (speed, torque and positioning mode) and integrated communications interfaces, including CANopen, Profibus and EtherCAT.

The motors are notable for:

  • Very long life
  • High efficiency
  • Highly dynamic acceleration
  • Good regulation characteristics
  • Wide speed range
  • High power density
  • Maintenance-free
  • Robust design
  • Integral Hall sensors for rotor position
  • Low moment of inertia
  • High degree of protection
  • Winding insulation - Class E or B
  • Neodymium magnets
  • These electronically-commutated DC motors can be combined with control electronics, gearboxes, and encoders in a modular system to provide a flexible, adaptable, market-oriented solution.
