Coaxial-Drive Planetary Gearhead offers low-noise operation.
Featuring OD of 32 mm, Koaxdrive KD 32 combines worm and planetary gearing, with worm-formed motor pinion driving 3 offset planetary wheels interlocking with internal gear. Plastic planetary wheels allow for minimized noise and coupling element is assembled on motor side so shaft is not subjected to axial load. Many reduction ratios are available in 11:1 to 1091:1 range and gearhead provides...
Read More »Internal Rotor Motors fit space-restricted applications.
Available in 40 mm diameter and 2 lengths of 26 and 36 mm, EC-i Motors use high-powered permanent magnets for speed stability under load. Brushless, electronically commutated units feature minimal detent and are suited for applications that require maximum drive in minimum space such as robotics, industrial automation, and security technology.
Read More »Position Controller offers fully programmable operation.
Capable of position, velocity, and current mode operation, EPOS P 24/5 can be used as stand-alone controller or to control other non-programmable EPOS units. Programmable digital motion controller measures 4.2 x 3.3 x .9 in. and communicates via RS-232 or CANopen. Capable of 5 A max continuous current (10 A peak), unit offers efficiency to 90% and features 50 kHz switching frequency. For...
