Motor drive interchanges with other
makers' drives
Motor Technology has added to its range of stepper-motor drives to include a new unit that is interchangeable with drives from other manufacturers.

Space saving opportunities from servo worm gearbox
A new range of servo worm gearboxes with three alternative precision levels has been launched by Motor Technology with ten, five and one arc minutes of backlash options
Its in-built flexibility enables it to replace old equipment operating on 20V to 80V DC with current ratings of up to 8A.
The new WSE-DC, manufactured by Stogra, is a single unit that is suitable for a power range that would usually require five or six different drives.
The unit is a micro-stepping drive with 16 different step angles from 200 to 12,800 steps per revolution.
The step angle can be switched between two user-selectable values whilst the motor is running which is said to allow for smooth operation at low speed and fast traverse speeds.
The efficiency of the WSE-DC allows operation without external cooling and is suitable for applications where forced cooling is undesirable or impractical.
It is compact, measuring 105mm x 57.5mm x 116mm and will fit into 200mm control cabinets.
Power connections can be made via front side screw terminals with all signal connections made via spring terminals.
