Compact Actuator with CANopen Interface

Baumer's compactFlexiDrive MSBA actuator is a complete multi-turn absolute positioning system.It consists of a brush-type geared dc motor, a magnetic position sensing unit,a regulator and a CANopen feedback interface. The housing measures 42 mm in diameterand can be customized with flexible gear combinations, extended functions anddiagnostic options.

The FlexiDrive MSBA actuator retains positiondata even when being moved or turned off. Incorporated dynamic overloadprotection via overspeed limiting protects against overload as the device'sinternal thermal regulation shuts the motor down at temperatures in excess of110C. System safety and performance is enhanced by current limiting and the intelligentblocking management.

The actuator is available with a gear ratiobetween 3.7:1 and 307.54:1 and a maximum resolution of 15 degrees. The devicerequires no separate controller and includes digital hardware inputs andoutputs for easy programming by the user.
