The new SilverPak 23DE, an integrated Nema 23, high torque, 1.8 degree bipolar step motor, microstepping driver and encoder is designed to reduce overall design time and system cost for a wide array of step motor applications needing high torque. The SilverPak 23DE is 2.25 inches in width and is offered in three body lengths: 2.52, 2.96 and 3.89 inches. Depending on its stack size, the integrated motor/driver is capable of producing up to 294 oz-inch of holding torque. The SilverPak 23DE operates from 15 to 48V dc and the available phase current ranges from 0.3 to 3A peak. This integrated motor/driver combination features jumper configurable step resolutions ranging from 2X microstepping up to 256X microstepping and four selectable damping modes, optically isolated step, direction and disable/enable inputs, under-voltage and over-temperature protection and Pole Damping Technology™ (PDT). Options available with the built-in encoder are tracks up to 100,000 cycles/sec, 32 to 1250 CPR, Max 5000 pps, 2 channel quadrature TTL squarewave single-ended outputs and optional index.
The Department of Defense and the Office of Naval Research are funding the design of Web applications that will help protect and police coastal waters.
This year, when Indy teams search for a competitive edge on the track, they're going to have to dig deeper into the mechanical aspects of the car than ever before in the history of the race.
A new process for laser-welding large-scale, steel-aluminum foam sandwich structures for lightweighting ships, which eliminates intermetallic phase, has been demonstrated.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
