Mclennan introduce new microstepping drives with superior speed/torque performance capability
A new range of high power/high speed microstepping drives, delivering up to 13 Nm of holding torque from a 320 VDC bus is now available from Mclennan Servo Supplies. The increased bus voltage on the STAC6, from USA based Applied Motion Products, effectively extends the power range of stepper drive technology and includes additional features that together derive improved performance from today’s stepper motors.
Mclennan launch new brushless DC motor with integral speed control electronics
Mclennan Servo Supplies has released a new miniature brushless DC motor with integral drive electronics for precision speed control from Netherlands motor manufacturer Allied Motion/Premotec. Measuring just 32 mm diameter with a nominal length of 42 mm, the compact BL30 EB delivers an output torque of 30 mNm at 3500 rpm with an 11 W power output rating. The motor’s outer rotor design ensures minimal cogging and a high-load bearing system and IP...
Aerotech's ABL3600 open frame air bearing stage provides the definitive specification for through-aperture step and scan positioning
With its open frame design, Aerotech's ABL3600 air bearing, linear motor driven X-Y positioning stage is aimed at semiconductor fabrication and test, scanning microscopy and other demanding scan and position applications requiring a large working aperture and perfect precision.
