January 25, 2016 - Applied Motion Products announces Integrated StepSERVO Motors that fuse step motor plus drive and control components into a single device.
StepSERVO motors offer the same high-torque-at-low-speed and excellent holding torque characteristics of open loop stepping motors with the advantages of true closed-loop control. These advantages include the ability to create peak torques from the motor up to 50% higher than the normal torque range of the same step motor running open loop. Closed-loop also means the motor only draws current when it needs it, so step motors now run cooler than ever before. StepSERVO motors feature:
- NEMA frame size 17, 23 and 24.
- NEMA frame size 11.
- Closed-loop servo control using high torque step motors
- High acceleration for faster machine cycles and greater productivity
- Energy efficient, cool running
- All-in-one compact solution
- IP65 versions for wet and dusty environments
- Stand-alone operation (stored Q programming)
- EtherNet/IP industrial networking option
- CANopen fieldbus option
- Modbus RTU option for easy PLC/HMI connection
StepSERVO motors utilize 5000 line incremental encoders (20,000 counts/rev)
StepSERVO motors utilize 1024 line incremental encoders (4,096 counts/rev)
