Motion Control Products- Miniature Direct Drive Linear Motor with Integrated Encoder and Temperature Sensor is Just 16 mm in Diameter!

Motion Control Products – Miniature Integrated Voice Coil Motor

Moticont is introducing their new miniature 16 mm diameter SDLM-016-032-01-01 Direct Drive Linear Motor with integrated position and temperature sensors. This smallest of the fully enclosed SDLM series of linear motors features zero backlash, zero cogging, high acceleration, high speed, high resolution, and long life.

Also known as an electric cylinder, this compact direct drive linear motor is just 16.0 mm (0.625 in.) in diameter and 31.8 mm (1.25 in.) long. Protected inside the motor housing, the linear optical quadrature encoder is directly connected to the shaft for the greatest possible accuracy. Highest throughputs are achieved by the SDLM-016-032-01-01 linear motor when operating at peak efficiency monitoring the temperature from the internal temperature sensor.

This new SDLM-016-032-01-01 direct drive linear motor has a stroke length of 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) and a continuous force rating of 1.14 N (4.11 oz.) and peak force of 3.6 N (13 oz.) This non-commutated direct drive servo motor features: Quiet long life, plain linear bearings, an integrated internal 1.25-micron resolution quadrature optical encoder, and a non-rotating shaft. Connections are easily made via a flex cable terminated in a 2-by-5 polarized connector.

These miniature linear servo motors are ideal for: Medical devices (e.g. infusion pumps, prosthetic devices, and surgical robots), automotive and consumer products, aerospace (e.g. aircraft, drones, satellites, and rockets), robotics and industrial automation, and laboratory applications (e.g. microscope stages, pipetting, and sampling).

Direct coupling of the load or stage to the low inertia non-rotating shaft eliminates backlash and allows for high acceleration/deceleration. Both ends of the actuator and shaft ends have threaded mounting holes for easy integration into new and existing applications. The SDLM-016-032-01-01 Direct Drive Linear Actuator is also available with a matching servo controller.

Motion in XYZ-Theta – Select XTREME 6000, Full Ceramic Radial Bearings from CERAMICSPEED for Extreme Environment Applications!

Motion in XYZ-Theta – Full Ceramic Ball Radial Bearings

E. Longmeadow, MA –Motion in XYZ-Theta – The XTREME 6000 ZrO2 Series of Full Ceramic Radial Bearings from CeramicSpeed are designed to provide levels of performance in extreme environments beyond the capabilities of steel and even hybrid bearings. The complementing components of these bearings were carefully selected to provide the highest levels of performance in high temperatures, and adverse environments such as: Submerged in water, high pressure steam, chemicals, and caustic fluids.

The outer and inner races of these bearings are meticulously crafted from zirconium dioxide (ZrO2). Zirconium dioxide is exceptionally tough and has heat expansion properties closely matching those of steel for easy integration into new or existing applications.

Silicon nitride (Si3N4) was selected for the bearing balls as it can achieve the highest possible smoothness and roundness. The standard bearing cages are PTFE. Optional PEEK (Polyether ether ketone a thermoplastic polymer), cages with a high melting point can be specified as well as PTFE or PEEK shields. The combination of zirconium dioxide races and silicon nitride balls create a bearing with a very low coefficient of friction that are able to operate with very little or no lubrication. In extreme environments (high temperature, submerged, and corrosive atmospheres) they are unmatched in reliability, performance, long life, and efficiency.

XTREME 600 ZrO2 bearings in comparison to steel are lighter, nonconductive and nonmagnetic, with a much lower coefficient of friction than steel or hybrid bearings, and Silicon nitride (Si3N4) balls will not spall. Applications include: Medical, pharmaceutical, aerospace, maritime, industrial, food, dairy and beverage.
