New 60-A 24-V digital hall drives from Koford
Koford Engineering LLC has introduced a new series of 60-A 24-V hall sensor drives featuring 99% efficiency, compact size and high performance. Operation up to 100,000 rpm with a two-pole motor is possible. The design also features operation at 100% duty cycle compared to many other drives that are limited to 94% duty cycle, providing […]
Rockwell expands Kinetix 5700 servo system offerings, featuring energy, downtime savings
Industrial companies can rein in energy costs and reduce downtime using two new additions to the Kinetix 5700 servo system from Rockwell Automation. The new Kinetix 5700 regenerative bus supply provides direct energy savings by regenerating excess energy and putting it back on the facility’s grid or making it available for plant-wide use. It also […]
B&R offers servo drives with safety function Safely Limited Torque
The B&R ACOPOS P3 servo drive is now also available with safety function Safely Limited Torque (SLT). This makes B&R one of the first manufacturers to offer this certified safety function. Safely Limited Torque safely monitors torque up to SIL 2 / PL d. The torque is limited to the configured maximum value with the […]
TRINAMIC TMC2209 stepper driver for silent desktop machines
TRINAMIC Motion Control GmbH & Co. KG now sells the TMC2209 stepper driver IC — a motor driver that enables silent operation, intelligent stall detection, and lower cost for 3D printers, office and home automation equipment, and other applications using two-phase stepper motors. The TMC2209 is pin-compatible with earlier TRINAMIC devices, as well as some […]
Galil’s EDD EtherCAT slave drives now offers TwinCAT Support
The EDD-3701x EtherCAT slave drive (part of Galil’s EtherCAT Family of products) now communicates seamlessly with any TwinCAT EtherCAT master — as well as with Galil’s DMC-500×0 and DMC-52xx0 EtherCAT master drives. The EDD-3701x drives have the ability to control either brushed or brushless servo motors, steppers, and microstepping motors. The EDD-3701x is also equipped […]
Koford Engineering 60-A 24-V digital sensorless motor drive
Koford Engineering now sells a new series of 60-A 24-V digital sensorless drives. These drives feature 99% efficiency, compact size, and high performance. They run motors to 80,000 rpm and can run two-pole motors. The design can run at 100% duty cycle compared to many other drives that are limited to 95% duty cycle. This […]
Embedded motion and frameless motors in collaborative robots
Collaborative robots are seeing exponential rise in use. “This trend is a perfect example of the so-called fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0 … a term defined by chairman of the World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab. It’s blurring lines between digital, physical, and biological spheres,” said Jonas Proeger of Trinamic Motion Control. Some of these […]
Motors, sensors, other motion components in off-highway + mobile robotics
Automated mobile equipment, which transports items in warehouses and freight centers as well as assembly operations, continues to boost demand for power-transmission and motion control systems. In fact, the worldwide mobile-robot market will reach nearly $15 billion by 2026, according to researchandmarkets.com. Almost all run off electric-motor drivetrains that are relatively expensive upfront but with […]
Selecting the best servomotors with integrated drives
Although new distributed servo drive systems promise incredible performance, engineers should consider cabling, form factor, and safety integration before standardizing on a platform. Matt Prellwitz Drive Technology Application Specialist Beckhoff Automation Servomotors with integrated drives were groundbreaking technology when they hit the market, but their full potential has rarely been reached. These servomotors are supposed […]
