30mm DC motor from maxon
Haptic applications are well known in medical engineering, robotics, and aeronautics. For example: An active helicopter sidestick generates forces that provide tactile feedback to the pilot of a conventional system. Such applications require a special drive. maxon’s ironless winding and precious metal commutation were predestined for these requirements. The new RE 30 EB precious metal […]
Of LEGOs and Servo Motors
Now for a little fun. Last year, LEGO released a series of motors, controllers, and power sources called Power Functions. It’s pretty amazing the things you can do with them, that is, how much more sophisticated LEGOs have gotten over the years. At least they have from the days when I was a kid. Anyway, […]
i-series Planetary Gearmotors from Groschopp
Groschopp’s new i-series gearboxes are ideal for applications that have stringent space limitations yet require a high yield torque and increased efficiency. The gearboxes are available in 3 sizes and multiple gear ratios. Benefits • Tight tolerances and long-life lubrication for quiet operation • High yield torque, ability to withstand increased torque loads • Increased […]
SWM24 IP65-Rated Integrated Drive Motors from AMP
Applied Motion Products announced the addition of five IP65 rated integrated drive+motors to their broad line of motion control products. The new SWM24 fuses a high performance motion controller to a high torque NEMA24 step motor. The NEMA24 frame size mounts like the NEMA 23 motor, but has a 15% larger cross section, allowing it […]
Applied Motion Products Releases the IP65 Rated Step Motors
Applied Motion Products announced the addition of NEMA size 23, 24 and 34 stepper motors with IP65 ratings for operation in severe environmental conditions. These new models, dust proof and resistant to low-pressure water jets, are ideal for applications in wet factory environments such as the food and beverage industry or outdoor use. Key features […]
5 Really Good Servo Motor Videos
Here’s a look at some of the best servo motor videos we found online: 1. Not really a single video but a series of informative videos on servo motor sizing from Yaskawa. Really detailed and useful information for sizing a servo motor covering the key considerations you need to know in making the right choice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-_kyRSfI2c […]
Miniature dc servo motor controller from maxon
maxon precision motor’s newly released DC servo motor controller is the ESCON 50/5 OEM module. This mini OEM plug-in module is a 4 quadrant Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) servo motor controller that can efficiently control permanent magnet brushed DC motors (PMDC motors) and Brushless DC servo motors (BLDC motors) containing hall effect sensors, with power […]
Portescap introduces the 10NS brush DC miniature motor
Portescap introduces the 10NS brush DC miniature motor. These brush DC motors deliver spectacular speed-to-torque performance, ensuring high nominal torque and high power up to 0.7W in a smaller envelope than motors with comparable performance attributes. This enables OEMs to build smaller, lighter, and higher performing machines and devices. It also eliminates the need to […]
Reviewing Some Online Stepper Motor Selectors
How easy is it to select a stepper motor online? I decided to find out by visiting the web sites of some stepper motor manufacturers and seeing how easy or difficult it was. First up was Automation Direct. Offering everything from cables and fuses to terminal blocks and pneumatic components, the home page is quite […]
