26DAM Series Digital Linear Actuators provide linear force up to 120 oz. (33 N), linear step resolution of 0.001, 0.002 and 0.004 in., and 3.4 Watts of power for fast response times and precise positioning capability.

IPS210 controls DC and stepper motors up to 2x12 W (24 V, 0.5 A) with very low inductance, in open or closed loop modes. A single power supply is used for both logic and motor. Its embedded motion controller uses the same high-level motion language for both DC and stepper motors. Complex movement sequences can be programmed directly on the drive while system control functions can be handled from the supervising PC.

The SM2315DT has an 8-pole compact rotor with high copper filling factor. It achieves a high energy density as well as efficiency that results in more torque capacity. It delivers 112 oz-in of peak torque, 57 oz-in of continuous torque, and maximum speed of 4700 rpm.

MOTORTEC STP (Speed, Torque and Power) Calculator for rotational device calculations has been upgraded to include automated conversions of units, and a printable report with all unit conversions. It can be downloaded from the company's web site.

SoftMotion Development Module for LabVIEW allows machine builders and OEMs to create customized motion controllers. Enhancements include support for Windows Vista OS and CompactRIO controllers for motion control.

M40 powerfast connectors are suitable for motor applications, handling up to 600 Volts and 55 Amps: enough power for a 30 horse DC motor or a 55 horse 3-phase AC motor.

SKF hybrid bearings with silicon nitride rolling elements and steel rings provide insulation against stray currents in large variable speed electric motors to eliminate electric arc bearing damage and resulting premature bearing failure. The ceramic rolling elements also make these bearings lighter, harder, and more durable.

The EC200 24V DC-powered RollerDrive combines high speed and integrated intelligent electronics. The four-quadrant controller permits controlled accelerations and decelerations as well as constant conveyor speeds over the entire weight range.

RCML15 compact optical encoder provides signals for brushless motor commutation as well as incremental position feedback in a low profile (0.350” height) optical encoder.

The self-contained intelligent system controls accumulation for up to four conveyor application zones, including any combination of straights, merges or diverts. The Z-card can interface with any Interroll RollerDrive product, including both brushed and brushless solutions, significantly enhancing the control capabilities of virtually any conveyor system.

Kinetix 2000 drives are now available in ranges of 300 watts to 3 kW. Other enhancements include a power rail and a SERCOS interface.

The stainless steel guide system is corrosion-resistant, self-lubricating and maintenance free. It is ideal for harsh environments such as underwater, chemical and wash down, or for applications ranging from packaging to food and beverage, textile and marine.

Accepting any 12 Vdc source, including battery power, MMP-TM30-12V GP-051 miniature gear motor is rated for 3.0 in-lb continuous torque at 118 RPM, and 8.3 in.-lb peak. It measures just 30mm in Diameter by 3.4” long, and has a flatted output shaft of 6mm diameter by 16mm long.

BT100 Series Rollerdrive has an extended operating life of up to 6000 hours due to improvements in the efficiency of the gearing and the quality of the overall brush construction. The High Performance Brush Type RollerDrive (HPBT) provides a cost-effective motorized driven roller solution for light or intermittent duty postal, warehouse or manufacturing material handling applications.

Optimized for commercial fan and pump applications, PowerFlex 400 AC drives feature built-in network connectivity for integration into building automation systems, as well as flexible packaging options for easy installation and startup.

Able to meet global standards IEC 60439-1 and IEC 60529, CENTERLINE 2500 motor control center offers real-time MCC diagnostics and monitoring over DeviceNet, ControlNet or Ethernet, which gives users access to critical motor status information. Built-in DeviceNet with IntelliCENTER software eases information sharing for predictive maintenance, quick troubleshooting and safety.

the Rotary Indexer Product Set allows OEMs to build a machine faster, and allows end-users to assemble small parts precisely with reduced scrap and significantly improved yield. The programmable direct drive solution provides precise, repeatable and flexible electronic indexing in a compact package.

The PCM-3240 stepping/pulse-type servo motor control card starts at $845. The card's intelligent NOVA MCX341-motion ASIC provides a variety of motion control functions, such as 2/3-axis linear interpolation, 2-axis circular interpolation, and T/S-curve acceleration/deceleration rate. The PCM-3240 performs these functions without requiring any main CPU processing. The PCM-3240 fits onto a standard PC/104 board.

SEC-AC-SMLC is a fully-integrated control solution providing hardware and software building blocks that are engineered to easily plug together and work as a system. This allows engineers to focus on solving their application instead of integrating control components.
