FAULHABER BX4 Series adds 32 mm Brushless DC Servomotors

MicroMo (www.micromo.com) has announced that FAULHABER (www.faulhaber.com) has expanded its BX4 Series to include twelve new 32 mm Brushless DC Servomotors. Featuring a high cogging-free output torque, long operational lifetime and no adhesive bonded joints, the BX4 Series are suitable for various applications in robotics, medical, automation, aerospace, aviation and machinery.

The new brushless motors are offered in two lengths of 68 or 42 mm and in 24 or 12 V windings. To demonstrate its excellent linearity with an outstanding torque-to-volume ratio, the BX4 delivers a continuous output torque of 97 or 56 mNm.

The BX4 series is also designed with a built-in Motion Controller (CS) version, a typical +/- terminal (SCDC) version, as well as an integrated Motion Controller (CS) version. To provide added protection to the motor and electronics, all products with integrated electronics have been fitted with current limiting capabilities.

The BX4’s SCDC variant features an integrated reverse polarity protection and a two-terminal power supply connection at the back of its motor, which enables it to conveniently replace brushed type motors in applications requiring greater longetivity.

Meanwhile, its CS variant offers compact dimension ideal for space constrained applications. It has a RS232 serial interface that can be configured with FAULHABER’s Motion Manager software. Its higher thermal limits and increased temperature range from -20 to +100 °C allows for a continuous maximum current of 2.6A and effectively increasing BX4’s versatility.

The motor versions with built-in encoder are fitted in robust housing and are offered in four factory programmable resolutions with pulses ranging between 32 and 256, including an index channel. A line driver version featuring a differential signal output is also offered upon request.

FAULHABER introduces world’s most compact drive with integrated motion controller

FAULHABER (www.faulhaber.de) has once again extended its BX4 range of 4-pole brushless DC servo motors as it unveils the series 2232/2250…BX4 CSD/CCD, the most compact drive in the world with integrated motion controller.

The new series offers all the advantages of the BX4 4-pole brushless technology with one axis motion controller. With its high torque, high reliability, slot-less design without cogging torque and robust construction without using adhesives, the new series is suited for demanding applications such as automation, robotics, aerospace and medical devices.

The drives are based on the easy-to-use and flexible FAULHABER’s motion control platform. Fitted within the diameter of the motor, the compact motion controller, combined with a full-range of gearhead combinations and the motor, provides a modular platform for different applications.

The drives are offered with a CAN interface or RS-232 serial and can be configured easily through the FAULHABER Motion Manager 4.4 software. The drives offer a wide operational temperature range between -25°C and 85°C and provide a continuous current from 0.69A to 3A. The speed can be controlled easily from 5rpm to 8000rpm. Custom software and firmware are also available upon request. The drives feature factory preset current limits to protect electronics and the motor during operation, and if requested, the drives can be available with separate electronics and motor voltage supply connections.

The series are supplied in two different motor lengths of 32mm and 50mm with a 24VDC supply voltage. The extremely high-torque to volume ratio and ultra-flat linear slope of the torque/speed curve (35mNm) make these drives exceptional when combined with a motion controller.

FAULHABER Expands BX4 Series Motors

The BX4 Series from FAULHABER has been expanded by twelve new 32mm Brushless DC-Servomotors. The features of the BX4 line are long operational lifetime, a high cogging-free output torque and no adhesive bonded joints. This makes them ideal for many applications like robotics, automation, medical, machinery, aerospace and aviation. The new BX4 series brushless motors are available in two lengths of 42 or 68 mm and in 12 or 24 V windings. The BX4 demonstrates excellent linearity with an impressive torque-to-volume ratio and provides a continuous output torque of 56 or 97 mNm.

Besides FAULHABER’s wide array of external control electronics, the BX4 series is now available with an integrated Speed Controller (SC) version, a typical +/- terminal (SCDC) version and an integrated Motion Controller (CS) version. All products with integrated electronics are equipped with current limiting capabilities (peak and continuous) to provide extra protection your motor and electronics. All BX4 models are reversible and a separate power supply is now available upon request.

The SCDC version of the BX4 has redefined simplicity. With only a dual terminal power supply connection on the back of the motor (typical +/- configuration), it can easily replace brushed type motors in applications demanding greater longevity. Furthermore, the SSDC version includes built-in reverse polarity protection.

The CS version, based on FAULHABER Motion Control Systems, has compact dimensions that benefit space constrained applications. It contains an RS232 serial interface and can be configured with FAULHABER’s downloadable Motion Manager software. The increased temperature range from -20 to +100 °C and the higher thermal limits allowing a continuous current of to 2.6A increase the versatility of the BX4 line (available with custom firmware upon request).

An integrated encoder, now offered in a robust housing, is available in four factory programmable resolutions from 32, 64, 128 to 256 pulses plus an index channel. A line driver version with differential signal output is now available upon request.

MicroMo Brushless DC Servomotors

MicroMo’s introduction of the BX4 series of brushless DC servomotors emphasizes its position as an innovative market leader in highly integrated miniature drive systems. Using the latest production methods, some specially developed by MicroMo, the company has come up with a modular design that is limited to just a few components and entirely eliminates the need for adhesive-bonded joints. Despite the compact dimensions, the new four-pole concept of the series ensures a high continuous torque of up to 12 mNm, with a flat gradient of the n/M aspect curve.

Notable features are the smooth running operation and the particularly low noise level. Thanks to its electronic commutation, the brushless servo motor series is characterized by a much longer service life than mechanically commutated drives. In the basic version the commutation is provided by an external control, the flexible motor concept of the BX4 series also offers versions with integrated speed controller or integrated encoder. The encoder version is available in four different preset resolutions: 32, 64, 128, or 256 quadrature impulses per revolution. It is available with an optional line driver and differential output signal. In addition to mechanical speed adjustment, the new planetary gearheads of the 22F series also allow a temporary torque increase up to 1500 mNm. Designed with one to four stages, the precision gearhead in steel 21 offers finely graduated reduction ratios, and the diameters can be combined in conformity with the BX4 drives.
