Rexroth’s Latest Generation of Synchronous Servo Motors Deliver Maximum Power and Performance in an Ultra-Compact Design

Based on Rexroth’s 25 years of experience in developing servo motors, the drive and control specialists have developed a new generation of synchronous servo motors that utilize the latest motor-winding technology to deliver maximum torque with the highest precision in an ultra-compact design. Rexroth’s new IndraDyn S series of synchronous servo motors are completely scalable in power, performance, and precision to meet the specific requirements of your application. Each motor pole is individually wound prior to stator assembly to eliminate end turns and maximize copper content; this provides the greatest power output in the shortest possible motor design. The IndraDyn S is available in a wide range of frame sizes and lengths to achieve torque ratings from 0.1 up to 240 Nm.

In addition, the larger motor sizes are available with high- or low-inertia rotors for optimized inertia matching. For example, machine tools, printing machines and robotic applications require a higher moment of inertia to provide maximum control of the load. In contrast, a low moment of inertia provides the highest possible acceleration, which is a requirement for packaging machines and handling systems. The IndraDyn S motors are available in both basic and advanced versions to deliver scalable performance and precision.

The basic version, designed for standard applications, offers flange and rotational accuracy according to tolerance class N and is equipped with Hiperface encoders delivering 128 increments per revolution – 32 times more precision than the previous, resolver-based motor generations. The advanced version, designed for high-precision applications, is equipped with a high-resolution EnDat encoder delivering 2048 increments per revolution plus flange and rotational accuracy within tolerance class R. Both feedback options are available in incremental (single-turn) or absolute (multi-turn) versions. In addition, the feedback and power connectors can be rotated up to 240°.

To further enhance performance, IndraDyn S motors can be optionally equipped with external blowers and, to maximize performance, liquid-cooled versions are available. The new IndraDyn S series of motors are part of Rexroth's newly-developed line of IndraDyn motors consisting of asynchronous and synchronous torque, high-speed and linear motors.In North America, the Bosch Group manufacturers and markets automotive original equipment and aftermarket products, industrial automation and mobile products, power tools and accessories, security technology, packaging equipment and household appliances. Bosch Rexroth Corporation, a merger of Bosch Automation Technology and Rexroth, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH.

In the year 2003, Bosch Rexroth AG achieved sales of $4.4 billion (3.7 billion Euros) with 25,700 employees. Under the brand name of Rexroth, the company offers all relevant drive, control and motion technologies: from mechanics, hydraulics and pneumatics to electronics and associated services.

Rexroth has 500,000 customers in over 80 countries and is an extensive supplier of components and systems for industrial and factory automation and mobile applications.For more information visit: www.boschrexroth-us.com
