Motion Control – Compact Linear Induction Motor Is Available from H2W Technologies!

September 19th, 2018 Editor

H2W Logo

Santa Clarita, CA —– Motion Control – H2W engineers have developed a compact Linear Induction Motor (LMAA-04-01) that can generate 10.6 lbs [47 N] at a 15% duty cycle. Operating at 208 VAC 3-phase 60 Hz, the synchronous velocity of this LIM is 160 in/sec [4 m/s]. This LIM was designed for high speed operation; however, it can also be operated at stall (zero speed) to produce static thrust. This motor is encapsulated using high temperature 350°F [176°] potting compound which protects the components and seals it from moisture.

A non-contacting, high speed, linear motor measuring just 8.7 in. [223 mm] long x 3.0 in. [75 mm] wide x 1.7 in. [43 mm] high this LIM operates on the same principal as a rotary, squirrel cage, induction motor. They are typically used in applications that do not require positioning.

The 3-phase coil assembly can be directly connected to the AC line for single speed applications or to an adjustable frequency drive for variable speed control of the motor. The motors are reversible and can also be dynamically braked.

The laminated coil assembly is used in conjunction with a customer supplied aluminum and steel reaction plate to produce a force. A customer supplied bearing system is required to maintain the .125 in. [3.0 mm] air gap between the coil assembly and the reaction plate. The length of the reaction plate is typically equal to the coil assembly length plus the stroke.

Advantages:

  • Only 2 Parts
  • Wide Speed Range
  • No Maintenance
  • Non-contact
  • Ease of Control and Installation

Typical LIM Applications:

  • Conveying Systems
  • Baggage Handling
  • Personal Rapid Transport Systems
  • Theme Park Rides
  • Active linear braking systems

Motion Control Integrated Stepper Motor with EtherNet Available from Servo2Go!

September 15th, 2018 Editor

Greenville, DE – Motion Control Components –  Servo2Go is pleased to offer eight motion control integrated drive+motors from Applied Motion Products to our line of Ethernet and EtherNet/IP motion control products

The STM23 models fuse a high performance motion controller with 100 MBit Ethernet communications to a high torque NEMA23 step motor. Connecting to an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, CompactLogix or MicroLogix PLC? EtherNet/IP is also available

Servo2Go-Logo

The STM23Q-2Ex provides 125 ounce inches of torque, while the longer STM23Q-3Ex produces 210 ounce inches. Both models are available with an optional 4000 count/rev optical encoder, safely housed inside, that can detect and prevent motor stalls using Applied Motion’s proprietary stall prevention algorithm. Our auto tuned digital current control provides smooth, quiet motion, while an advanced anti-resonance algorithm with electronic damping allows for maximum torque utilization, rapid acceleration, and fast settling times

Software applications can communicate with the STM23 in real time, using the SCL and Q languages over standard 100 megabit Ethernet cabling, addressing and protocols. Ethernet can transmit data at 100 times the speed of CANopen and more than 1000 times faster than RS-232 and RS-485. The number and types of devices that can share a network are practically unlimited.

Even if you are just programming a Q drive for standalone operation, the Ethernet option can be more convenient than chasing down a USB-serial converter and trying to remember which COM port it uses. Just plug the drive into your office network, install our free, easy to use software, and you’re ready for programming and configuration.

50 piece pricing begins at $371 US/ea. Delivery is 1-2 weeks.

Motion Control – Custom Linear Mechanisms

August 23rd, 2018 Editor

Custom Linear Mechanisms from Steinmeyer …

Welcome to Where Precision Is.  You Can Turn to Steinmeyer for Design and Assembly of Custom Linear Mechanisms for your Precision Positioning Systems

Our engineers can implement your finished design or optimize your concept.

For Example …


Motion Control Linear Stage

Demanding series production for a medical instrument

The task was to develop a motion unit for a computer tomography scanner which moves tungsten collimators during X-ray source rotation so that the X-ray beam can be adjusted to the minimum radiation dose required. The assembly itself is continuously moved in a circular path around the patient during use. A special challenge was the high acceleration caused by the rotation on a large diameter transverse to the direction of movement. This additional load requires a particularly stable construction with minimal potential for error.

Highest stability and reliability

Since this is used in a durable medical device, the requirements for functional safety and reliability are very high. The positioning system has been tested for three million application cycles and has proven this claim with statistical certainty in an endurance test.
