Drive modules offer system integrators flexibility
The first multiple drive system on a common DC bus is now available as Modules from ABB, for use by system integrators, panelbuilders and OEMs.
This desirable combination allows CLD motors to exhibit high power motion in a small package.
The superior performance of California Linear Devices linear motors achieve greater throughput, higher product quality, and improved profitability for a broad range of industrial and factory applications.
The simplicity of the package carries benefits for just about any application: UL Recognition for the USA and Canada; one moving part leads to increased reliability; integral bearings; easy integration with programmable controllers; easy-to-use face mounting; no backlash to affect position accuracy or stability; and environmentally friendly quiet operation.
These features deliver significant advantages, including overall cost, compared to hydraulics, pneumatics, ball screws, electromechanical systems, and other linear motors.
A CLD motor consists of a shaft that slides inside a stator assembly that contains electromagnetic coils.
It uses three-phase direct-drive brushless technology, with high-energy neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnets in the shaft.
The stator's length and diameter set the force level, whereas the shaft length determines the stroke.
Standard stroke lengths range from 2 to 20in.
The motors are capable of up to 5249N peak force throughout the stroke length.
A motion controller drives the motor to a detailed trajectory of linear motion.
A feedback device (such as a precision encoder) reports motor position to the motion controller for closed-loop motion control.
