Motion Control

Stepper motor

Durable

Providing linear motion in a rotary-size package, the LINEARSTEP^® linear-type stepper motor is offered with outside dimensions of 25 and 35 mm. The product's linear shaft movement enables users to design a simple system at a fraction of the cost of conventional rotary stepper motors. It features ball bearing support and sturdy motor case, providing the product with long life and durability. Ideal applications include X/Y table laboratory systems, medical pump devices, and optical camera systems, among others. Nippon Pulsehttp://rbi.ims.ca/4399-621

Speed controller

Good value

The DEC 70/10 speed controller is specially developed for the upper performance range where it can control electronically commutated dc motors of up to 700W. The four-quadrant product needs no additional encoder; it operates with the motor's own Hall sensor signals, making it ideally suited for speed and positioning applications. The three operating modes—speed control, voltage control with IxR compensation, and current control—can be pre-selected per DIP switch. Maxon Motorhttp://rbi.ims.ca/4399-622

Stepper motor

Variety of voltages

The company's hollow pancake stepper motor features a 2.5-inch hole in the center for a microwave tube. It is designed for applications where accurate positioning and high torque are necessary. It has a 1.8 degree step angle and provides up to 400 oz/inch of torque. Coils are available in bipolar or unipolar configurations in a variety of voltages.

Driver software

Reduces costs

The 32-bit LinkMotion^™ machine driver software is designed to make programming motion control boards as easy as sending a file to a printer. It reportedly speeds up the design-to-manufacturing process and reduces costs by eliminating the need for a proprietary applications development process and controller hardware. It is ideal for a variety of 2 1/2 D machining operations, including laser marking and cutting, scribing, drilling, engraving, electro discharge machining, torch cutting, waterjet cutting, and CNC machines.

Brake pack

Instantaneous stop

The SB50 brake pack provides four key control functions for ac induction, reversible, watertight, and electromagnetic brake motors in a single package. Forward/reverse motion, instantaneous stop, electromagnetic brake control, and thermal protector open detection with alarm signal are integrated into the 2.77×1.97×2.76 inch product. It comes with a single-phase voltage range from 100 to 230V ac, 50/60 Hz. Oriental Motor USA Corp.http://rbi.ims.ca/4399-625

Stepper drive

Two control options

The STAC6 high performance stepper drive features current output from 0.5 to 6.0A with 90 to 130V ac input, 50/60 Hz. They provide software selectable resolutions from 200 to 51,200 steps/rev at speeds up to 133 rps.

Two integral control options are available, including an intuitive graphical programming language as well as a comprehensive high-level language for precise control of all drive features. Applied Motion Productshttp://rbi.ims.ca/4399-626

Incremental encoders

Reliable operation

The DGS60 incremental encoders are rugged IP-67 products that are available with resolution up to 10,000 pulses for precise, reliable operation in tough environment conditions. Their design easily accommodates adaptation to suit specific application requirements. They are ideal for machine tool, textile, woodworking, and packaging applications. Six and 10 mm solid shaft versions are available, and they are also available with through or blind hollow shafts with a connector or cable outlet, and TTL or HTL electrical interfaces.

Pneumatic actuator

Rugged

The PCD and PCS pneumatic valve actuators feature a four-piston rack and pinion design for high torque output. The rugged design enables the product to be smaller than other design types, making it ideal for applications with tight space requirements. The PCD model is double acting and requires air pressure for both the open and close cycles of operation; the PCS is an air to spring or fail safe design that uses a mechanical spring to operate one of the actuation cycles while air pressure is used to operate the other.

Motorized force tester

Smooth top surface

A 50-lb capacity horizontal motorized test stand, the ESMH is designed for tension, compression, and friction testing. The product's smooth top surface makes it ideal for coefficient of friction testing. It features integral limit switches for repetitive testing or other tests where travel limits are required. A digital travel display is available. Ideal applications include the testing of sealed pouches, fabrics, tubing, and sutures, among others. Mark-10http://rbi.ims.ca/4399-629
