If you’re at Automate 2017 in Chicago, visit Booth 847 for a live demo of a new actuator. Harmonic Drive LLC now offers FHA-C-H series actuators. Available in four sizes, these new super-flat actuators feature IP65 protection With IP65 and 480V, the FHA actuator is well suited for machine tool, packaging, and wash-down applications.

FHA-C-H rotary servo actuators utilize Harmonic Drive® precision gears combined with a performance matched brushless servo motor. Encoder options now include EnDat® & HIPERFACE®. The FHA series is designed to operate with a wide range of third-party servo drives including Bosch, Mitsubishi, Siemens, and Kollmorgen.

The FHA has a low-profile form factor and features a hollow-output shaft. This hollow shaft feature may be used to pass cables, tubing or lasers through the axis of rotation.

Gear Ratios of 50:1, 100:1, and 160:1 are available in each of the four sizes, offering the machine designer a wide selection of speed and torque specifications.  Like all Harmonic Drive® actuators, the FHA-C-H actuators are highly reliable and maintain zero backlash for the life of the gear.

New FHA-C-H Features:

• IP65 Rating
• 480VAC
• EnDat® & HIPERFACE® Encoder Protocols
• DESINA style flex rated cables
