Stepper motors excel in unique conveying application
Stepper motors are common in positioning applications and have the advantage of being accurately controllable down to fractions of a degree, even without the use of feedback devices such as encoders or resolvers. They operate in open-loop (not closed-loop), without the need for tuning parameters as in closed-loop systems. Stepper motors are also relatively inexpensive. Because […]
Advanced stepper motor drive designed for hazardous locations
The STAC6-Q-H from Applied Motion Products offers best-in-class anti-resonance that ensures optimal performance of the stepper motor over the widest speed range. The drive is powered by single-phase 120 V AC which generates a nominal 160 V DC internal bus voltage capable of driving the highest torque NEMA 34 and 42 frame stepper motors on […]
TSM11: Most compact StepSERVO Integrated Motors yet
The successful line of StepSERVO closed loop integrated motors continues to expand with the addition of three NEMA 11 frame models. The TSM11 StepSERVO integrated motors offer the same features and performance benefits of the NEMA 17 and 23 frame StepSERVO motors, but in a much smaller package. What is StepSERVO closed-loop stepper technology? StepSERVO closed […]
STR3 miniature stepper drive solves vibration, size problems
The STR3 miniature stepper drive from Applied Motion Products solves two problems in one: The step motor drive addresses the problem of slow step motors that vibrate too much … … and it addresses space-constrained applications where bulkier drives just won’t fit. The STR3 utilizes a proprietary current control algorithm that optimizes motor performance, providing smooth […]
Motion control technologies you missed at MD&M West
Last week, many of us with motioncontroltips.com and Design World headed to MD&M West 2016 colocated with the ATX West show in Anaheim, Calif. The Internet of Things (IoT) still leads much industry buzz, as does the idea of increasingly smart and connected components and the unabated rise of automation — in the medical industry and elsewhere. My colleagues Paul Heney, Mary Gannon, and Danielle Collins covered many […]
Applied Motion Products introduces integrated StepSERVO motors
Ideally suited for applications such as packaging and labeling, automated test and measurement, automated assembly and life sciences, StepSERVO motorsfrom Applied Motion Products provide the next evolution integrated step motor technology. Starting with a proven integrated motor design, we add a high-resolution incremental encoder and closed-loop servo firmware to create a motor that offers the […]
Step motors take a step in the right direction
Because stepping motors are relatively inexpensive and easy to control, they’re often the first option to consider in machine designs. Low-cost solutions have had performance limitations, but new control technology substantially enhances stepping motors capability. Stepping motors have progressed over the years from the early days of the world’s first digital motor into a broad […]
Cabled Step Motors
Applied Motion Products has announced a new range of step motors for DC powered drives which are now available with 10 foot cables. These motors are available in single or double shaft versions with additional encoder or encoder and cover options. The availability of cables and covered encoders make this range particularly suitable for rugged […]
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 […]
