Moticont is introducing its new 16mm diameter miniature SDLM-016-032-01-01 direct drive linear motor with integrated position and temperature sensors. This smallest fully enclosed SDLM series linear motor features zero backlash, zero gearing, high acceleration, high speed, high resolution and long service life. Also known as an electric cylinder, this compact direct-drive linear motor is just 16.0 mm (0.625 in.) in diameter and 31.8 mm (1.25 in.) long. Protected inside the motor housing, the quadrature linear optical encoder is connected directly to the shaft for the highest possible accuracy. The highest yields are achieved by the SDLM-016-032-01-01 linear motor when operating at maximum efficiency by monitoring the temperature from the internal temperature sensor.
This new SDLM-016-032-01-01 direct drive linear motor has a stroke length of 6.35 mm (0.25 in), a continuous force rating of 1.14 N (4.11 oz. ) and a peak force of 3.6 N (13 oz.). This non-switched direct drive servo motor features: Long, quiet life, simple linear bearings, an integrated 1.25 micron internal resolution quadrature optical encoder, and a non-rotating shaft. Connections are easily made via a flexible cable terminated in a 2-by-5 polarized connector.
These miniature linear servomotors are ideal for medical devices (e.g., infusion pumps, prosthetic devices, and surgical robots), automotive and consumer products, aerospace (e.g., aircraft, drones, satellites, and rockets), robotics, and industrial automation and laboratory applications (e.g. microscope stages, pipetting and sampling).
Direct coupling of the load or stage to the low inertia non-rotating shaft eliminates backlash and allows high acceleration/deceleration. Both actuator ends and shaft ends have threaded mounting holes for easy integration into new and existing applications.
The SDLM-016-032-01-01 direct drive linear actuator is also available with a corresponding servo controller.
