Birkerød, Danmark, and Morrow, OH — MIS23 QuickStep stepper motors are a series of versatile, compact, economical integrated stepper motors from JVL. Integrated stepper motors in the MIS23 series have NEMA 23 flange dimensions of 57×57 mm and are available in three models with rated torques of: 1.1 Nm (MIS231), 1.6 Nm (MIS232), 2.5 Nm (MIS234) (1000 RPM @ 48VDC). To reduce cost and protect against electrical noise many of the control and communication functions have been integrated with the motor in a housing designed to provide IP42, IP55 or IP65 protection, and eliminating the need for running control and communication cables. Different PCB’s (modules) can be mounted within the housing to create an automation/motion control system that is easy to incorporate into new and existing applications.

Among the many features that can be integrated are: Pulse/direction driver, serial RS485 position controller with easy graphical programming, point-to-point or multiaxis operation up to 255 axes on the same RS485 bus, CANOpen DS-301 and DSP-402, optional absolute singleturn magnetic encoder with resolution of up to 1024 pulses/revolution for stall detection, 8 I/O that can be configured as input, output or 10bit analogue input, electronic gearing for following an encoder or pulse train in an arbitrarily selectable controlled ratio, high speed position capture.

The MIS23 Series of stepper motors follows the same protocol as MAC motors so that MAC motors and QuickStep motors can be connected to the same RS485 bus, and a double voltage-supply available so that position and parameters are maintained during emergency stop. They also feature: Fixed 1600 pulses/revolution for version with built-in position controller, 200, 400, 800, 1000, or 1600 pulses/revolution for versions with pulse/direction inputs.

All modules are supplied with M12 connectors. MIS23 QuickStep motors require a power supply of 12-48V DC. Backlash-free and planetary gears in different ratios can also be supplied. Additionally the Quickstep series also includes larger versions like the MIS34 (NEMA 34), MIS43 (NEMA 43), and MIS51 (NEMA 51) with even more options, such as Ethernet.

Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada – Motion Control – Automation – Motion Control – Harmonic Drive® & Electromate have just launched a new joint company website to showcase the latest Harmonic Drive® Gearhead products & technology.

Located at http://electromate.harmonicdrivegearhead.com/, the new website features the following:

• Product Selector Tool
• Motor Matching Tool
• Gearhead Selector
• Catalogs
• Material Data Safety Sheets

Harmonic Drive® gearing utilizes a unique operating principle which is based upon the elastic mechanics of metals. The greatest benefits are the zero-backlash characteristics and the weight and space savings compared to other gears because our gear mechanism consists of only three basic parts. They are the: Wave Generator, Flexspline and Circular Spline.

Harmonic Planetary gears have simultaneous meshing between the sun gear and planet gears and between the planet gears and the internal gear. The sun gear is connected to the motor and a carrier, supporting the planet gears, is connected to the output. Single stage planetary gears can achieve reduction ratios up to 10:1. Ratios above 10:1 utilize a two stage design where the carrier of the first stage drives the sun gear of the second planetary stage.

See a video demonstrating how the Harmonic Drive HPGP Harmonic Planetary gears work – Watch Video.

E. Longmeadow, MA – – Motion Control – Linear Motion – Advanced Linear Block and Rail System – SLIDE RAIL2 is both novel and innovative. Unlike injection molded, plastic-lined block and rail systems, INJECT2 Technology’s unique properties ensure higher loads, 1/2 the coefficient of friction and increased toughness for shock, vibration and contamination. INJECT2 Technology’s low friction, self-lubricating sliding surface guarantees smooth, quiet and contamination proof operation.

SLIDE RAIL 2 begins with a machined aluminum carnage block and a ceramic coated aluminum extruded 20mm rail. The carriage and rail are mounted in a fixture and INJECT2 is injected between the block and rail. INJECT2 hardens and the rail and block are separated. No additional machining or bonding is required. INJECT2 penetrates the aluminum block forming a superior, tenacious bond which will not separate!

The benefits of INJECT2 Technology featured in SLIDE RAIL 2 are notable:

• Self-Lubricating – Anti-Stick Slip

• Up to 400 Surface Feet a Minute ‘Dependent on Loads

• High Load/High Compression Strength 19,000 PSI

The high speed, short stroke, and the dust & debris of a mattress stitching machine proved too much for linear ball bearings! The contamination and short stroke length did not allow the bearing to circulate and caused premature failure.

E. Longmeadow, MA – — LM76’s solution to problem was to replace the linear ball bearings with the ceramic coated “Black Racer Ceramic Linear Bearings” linear bearings. These linear bearings have a Coefficient of Friction of just .04 (lubricated). LM76 offers 5 of the the 6 Lowest Coefficient-of-Friction bearings and bearing systems available. Follow the links below and contact LM76 for help in selecting the best bearing or bearing system for your application.

Defender Rails Go Quiet!

E. Longmeadow, MA – — Linear Motion Rail Systems – LM76’s popular Defender Rails have gone Quite. The “Quite Strip” made of UHMW (Features of UHMW include: Excellent abrasion and wear resistance, very high impact strength, meets FDA and USDA guidelines, no moisture absorption, Self-lubricating – no need for oils or lubricants. excellent noise abatement properties, chemical resistance and corrosion resistant, maintains performance and properties at -30°C, low coefficient of friction) eliminates the noise often associated with steel rollers running on steel rails. The Stainless Steel Defender Rail Systems with UHMW “Quitet Strips” are ideal for integration into medical applications, especially those involving patient care.

UHMW Strips also increases the life of Defender Rails.

The UHMW Quite/Wear strip increases the life of the Stainless Steel Defender Rail Systems. As the strip wears the clearance can be adjusted via the eccentric mount of the rollers. The Defender Rail Systems materials are:

• Rails – 303 stainless steel
• Blocks – 300 stainless steel
• Rollers – 440C stainless Steel
• Wear strips – UHMW
