Servo Components & Systems Ltd is offering a New range of electric linear motors designed specifically for use as an actuator. Combining the speed and rugged operation of pneumatics, the controllability of a ball screw and the inherent reliability of direct drive linear motors, the Green Drive actuator is a low-cost, powerful industrial pusher/puller. http://www.servocomponents.co.uk/linear-electric-actuator
The simple two-part design makes the Green Drive actuator very reliable, the internal rod support bearing provides a maintenance free solution with service life up to 10 times that of ball screws. Using direct drive electric technology the Green Drive actuator has quiet operation with speeds up to 5m/s, peak force to 1000N and a positional repeatability of 50 micron, making the Green Drive suitable for many industrial applications.
Traditional pneumatic actuators can become very complicated to program, requiring elaborate control valves and a complex electro-pneumatic control systems to choreograph the positioning function. However, direct drive electric linear actuators provide positional control using integral Hall sensor position feedback and when used with a matching Copley Controls digital servo drive such as the Xenus, the Green Drive actuators form a complete “plug and play” positioning subsystem. Copley’s intuitive indexing software is used to tune and program the Green Drive actuator quickly and easily. A PLC can be used to initiate the Xenus servo drive stored motion profiles, simplifying the integration of the linear actuators into any existing system. http://www.servocomponents.co.uk/servo-drives
New Plus Servo Drives
The New PLUS Servo Drives from Copley Controls offer a range of AC- and DC-powered digital drives for servo and stepper motors. The DC-powered drives can be Panel, Module or PCB mounted and set new levels of performance for small Accelnet and Stepnet drives http://www.servocomponents.co.uk/Brushless%20Drives
Both AC- and DC-powered drives are available in both EtherCAT and CANopen versions. Multi axis models deliver optimal cost per node. A wide range of absolute interfaces are built-in, including BiSS,SSI,Absolute A and EnDat.
The New PLUS drives use metal enclosures to ensure the highest level of noise immunity. The Accelnet and Stepnet drives are available in Multi-axis versions, delivering the lowest cost per node. PLUS drives feature high resolution A/D converters for optimal current control as well as fast, hardware-based position capture and setpoint trigger output. M-Series modules have the flexibility to control both servo and stepper motors.
The Safe Torque Off capability of PLUS Panel drives eliminates the expensive contactors and complex wiring traditionally used in safety critical applications. Safe Torque Off provides two drive enable inputs facilitating system conformance to SIL 3 (IEC 61800-5-2) and Category 3 PLd (ISO 13849-1).
An addition to the standard servo drives is the R-Series range. These are ruggedized versions of the Xenus and Accelnet servo drives, in panel, module and PCB formats. Designed to endure temperature extremes, high humidity, vibration and shock, the R-Series finds application in COTS military, nautical, aviation, oil refining and vehicle-based systems. Mil-Std-810 specifications are met with the R-Series of servo drives: http://www.servocomponents.co.uk/Harsh%20Environment%20Drives
