RE50 Brushed DC Motor from maxon
Maxon’s RE 50's "heart" is, as with all mechanically commutated maxon motor drives, the ironless rotor, which results in detent-free running and minimized mass inertia. The combination of a two-pole Neodymium permanent magnet with the patented maxon winding technology results in high torque and remarkable acceleration. The drive measures Ø50 x 108 mm and is available with four different windings. It reaches a nominal torque of up to 0.38 Nm, a nominal speed of 2800 to 5700 rpm and an efficiency of more than 90%. Low nominal voltage (24.70 VDC) and high power ...

Encoder delivers higher resolution for better speed control
“If you want to control the speed of a particular move,” noted Kevin Kaufenberg, product manager for HEIDENHAIN Corporation’s semiconductor, metrology, and medical markets, “the more counts an encoder can output per given period of time, the better the speed control will be. So having a very fine resolution from the encoder provides more counts... [Read more]
