Solid-state relay
08 July, 2008 | Supplied by: Rockwell Automation Australia
Rockwell Automation has expanded its range of Allen-Bradley 700SH solid-state relays with the addition of increased load capacities up to 100 A and 660 V. This extends the applicability of the 700SH series for a wider range of precision-controlled, high switching frequency applications, such as temperature control in packaging, food processing, plastics and HVAC industries.
DC motor and drive packages
08 July, 2008 | Supplied by: M Rutty & Co Pty Ltd
Electronically commutated DC motors now incorporate functions that were previously the preserve of AC servo-motors. With output powers up to 500 W and torques up to 5 Nm, the BG75 DC motors by Dunkermotoren are able to take on numerous drive tasks in industrial automation.
Linear motors and slide components
08 July, 2008 | Supplied by: Motion Technologies Pty Ltd
Linmot linear motors and Gimatic slide parts and components are designed for most end-of-arm tooling needs and robotic systems.
Micro-assembly station
08 July, 2008 | Supplied by: Assembly Technologies Pty Ltd
The Micro-Assembly-System from Deprag Schulz is 450 x 802 x 680 mm in width, depth and height and is lightweight, allowing uncomplicated transportation. The working range is 176 x 176 x 80 mm with a position accuracy of ±1 µm.
Stepper motors
08 July, 2008 | Supplied by: Festo Pty Ltd
The EMMS-ST range of stepper motors supplements the CMMS-ST range of drives.
Brushless DC servomotors
08 July, 2008 | Supplied by: ERNTEC Pty Ltd
The elctromechanically commutated Smartshell DC micromotors from Faulhaber are made with an all-in-one design concept — lamination stack, coil and PCB combined in a single-moulded injection — which provides the motors with a robust housing. The rotor consists of a permanent NdFeB magnet fitted onto a through shaft supported by preloaded ball bearings.
Dunkermotoren brushless DC servomotors
08 July, 2008 | Supplied by: M Rutty & Co Pty Ltd
Dunkermotoren has released the BG 42, an optimised brushless DC-motor with Hall sensors and flying leads as well as the brushless DC servomotor BG 45 with integrated power and logic electronics. They provide output power up to 75 W and torque up to 16 Ncm.
Brushless DC motors
08 July, 2008 | Supplied by: M Rutty & Co Pty Ltd
The GR 22, G 30.1 and G 30.0 motors are now available in versions with neodymium magnets. Compared with the basic version of the motors with ferrite magnets, they offer up to 30% higher starting torque. The speed characteristic of these motors under load is marked by a flatter characteristic curve and thus smaller variations in speed.
Controlsoft becomes Zi-Argus
01 July, 2008
Following on from the acquisition of Controlsoft by Zi-Argus in May 2007, Controlsoft will change its name to Zi-Argus effective 1 July 2008.
Compact stepper drive
01 July, 2008 | Supplied by: Automated Motion Systems Pty Ltd
The Plus-B series of stepper motor drives is suitable for high-power single- and dual-axis motion control applications where high speed and resolution are required.
Solid-state relay
01 July, 2008 | Supplied by: Rockwell Automation Australia
Rockwell Automation has expanded its range of Allen-Bradley 700SH solid-state relays with the addition of increased load capacities up to 100 A and 660 V.
Output filter for motor drives
01 July, 2008 | Supplied by: Westek Electronics Pty Ltd
The Schaffner Model 510 output filters reduce voltage slew rate (dV/dt) from inverter drives for variable-speed motors. High-voltage slew rates can cause overstressing of long motor drive cables and cause insulation breakdowns in motor windings.
