BEI KIMCO INTRODUCES HIGH PRECISION INTEGRATED MOTOR ENCODER ASSEMBLY
June 4, 2008 BEI Kimco Magnetics has expanded its movement control capabilities with the introduction of a high precision Integrated Motor Professional encoder Assembly. Featuring a large diameter clear aperture with integral high resolution encoder, it is ideally suited for high performance specialty machine applications where high acceleration point-to-point motion is required.
The new assembly incorporates ABEC7 class precision ball bearings supplier, providing exceptional reliability and long service life. Other performance attributes include a tightly toleranced hollow shaft configuration that offers superior repeatability and wobble characteristics essential for optical applications requiring a large diameter clear aperture. The high resolution optical encoder supports resolutions of up to 0.02 arc-sec. and the hall based commutation scheme allows for seamless connectivity with a variety of standard movement controllers.
The new offering was designed in response to market demand for a compact, high accuracy integrated motor encoder solution that could deliver superior positioning accuracy and repeatability under the most demanding continuous-duty production environments.
“Our customers have typically turned to us for products used in high velocity-based applications” says Walter Smith, BEI Kimco Magnetics Senior Applications Engineer. “With the introduction of the new motor/encoder assembly, we can now fulfill requirements for more specialized positioning based applications.”
The new Integrated Motor Encoder Assembly is available now with delivery in six to eight weeks.
