STXI expands built-in closed-loop servo stepper motor line

Take heed to this text

STXI Movement launched the stepIM NEMA 17 EtherCAT mannequin, the latest addition to its household of built-in closed-loop servo stepper motors. The IP65-rated stepIM NEMA 17 delivers an environment friendly and economical resolution for purposes requiring the efficiency of a servo on the worth of a stepper.

With an economical design and closed-loop servo management by Servotronix Movement Management, the stepIM closed-loop servo stepper is accessible in three sizes: quick (97.4 mm motor size), medium (105.9 mm motor size), and lengthy (120.4 mm motor size).

The stepIM enhances the efficiency of stepper motors when in comparison with typical open-loop management. The built-in electronics management the stepper motor as a two-phase BLDC motor, implementing place servo loop, velocity loop, DQ present management, and extra algorithms. Closed-loop commutation, via an absolute single-turn encoder, ensures optimum torque utilization at any pace.

“The brand new stepIM NEMA 17 closed-loop stepper creates the power to lose the cupboard and acquire design flexibility in decentralized
movement structure purposes, the place house is a limitation and efficiency optimization is required” stated Siegfried Pries, product line supervisor of STXI Movement.

As well as, stepIM closed-loop steppers help decentralized machine structure by permitting machine builders to do away with the cupboard and improve motor efficiency with no step loss. The built-in design additionally minimizes part and wiring necessities. Additional, the stepIM can operate as distributed I/O factors, lowering machine complexity.

“StepIM stepper motors present designers high-torque, low-speed capabilities, eliminating the necessity for a gear whereas additionally permitting for top speeds in low torque ranges at a cost-effective worth level,” stated Pries. Brake and gearbox choices can be found, offering a whole built-in axis resolution.

STXI Movement stated it expects to launch a brand new line of servIM built-in servo motors in Q2 2022. These motors have 60 mm or 80 mm flanges and are presently out there for beta testing at choose websites.
