Integrated motors in motion-control applications
Article updated November 2019 ⚙️ Integrated motors include a motor rotor and stator (in a brushless dc, servomotor or stepper motor form) paired with other motion components. About half of all integrated motors incorporate a brushless motor with permanent magnets on the rotors, though other formats exist. The most basic integrated motors consist of just […]
Astonishingly small servo drive survives HALT for guaranteed life
One family of motor drives — tiny ultra-high-current Gold Bee drives from Elmo Motion Control — recently passed highly accelerated life testing (HALT) for accelerated temperatures, electrical cycles, thermal shocks and vibrations. The tests show that the small servo drive successfully withstands temperatures from -75° to +110° C and easily endures mechanical vibrations exceeding 30 […]
How clean power, shared bus make motion drives efficient
The following is an article from Elmo Motion Control that explains how some of their drives work and how that translates to better efficiency. Machine builders always try to boost throughput while keeping a lid on costs. The best way to reach this goal is through the use of machine control capable of high dynamics and high-accuracy, generally […]
