Faster delivery for MaxPlusPlus motor family

Parker Electromechanical Automation has announced that lead times on its MaxPlusPlus (MPP) line of brushless rotary servo motors have been reduced to just three days.

Parker Electromechanical Automation, supplier of integrated motion control solutions, has announced that lead times on its MaxPlusPlus (MPP) line of brushless rotary servo motors have been reduced to just three days.

This includes the MPP092x, MPP100x, and MPP115x motors equipped with a resolver, the standard 2000-line incremental encoder, the Heidenhain EnDat absolute encoder (single or multi-turn) or the Stegmann Hiperface absolute encoders, which will be released soon.

"We're able to offer this reduced lead time thanks to our manufacturing team creating more efficient material flow, standardising components and implementing vertical manufacturing in our facility", said Patrick Berkner, Product Sales Manager.

"This enables us to supply our customers with a fully bundled system - motors, drives, controllers, HMI and mechanical products - in less than one week".

Designed for the demanding applications found in today's high-performance servo systems, MPP motors offer lower inertia and higher power, all in a smaller package than conventional motors.

Parker's MPP motors feature segmented lamination technology, which can yield up to 40% higher torque per unit size than conventionally wound servo motors.

'Potted' stators improve heat transfer for better thermal efficiency, resulting in increased torque at the motor shaft.

High-performance neodymium magnets are employed for higher acceleration rates.

"The MPP's segmented lamination technology gives the motor series two important advantages", said Berkner.

"First, it allows the motor to be much shorter, since you no longer have the long end-turns found in conventionally wound servo motors".

"Most machine builders want shorter, more compact motors in their equipment just for space savings and aesthetics", said Berkner.

"The second major advantage is that segmented lamination technology allows the torque density to be much higher".

"This is because each lamination section is machine wound, allowing more precisely placed copper and more copper in the winding".

"The more copper you can get into the stator, the more power you can get out of the motor".

"The result is a series of short, more powerful motors that cost less".

MPP motors are ideal in applications for packaging, printing, semiconductor, and machine tool industries".

""But any application requiring brute-force power will benefit from the MPP", said Berkner".

""In fact, this series is perfect for any customer interested in increasing production and machine throughput".

"With its very low rotor inertia allowing phenomenal performance, the MPP can be used in any high-speed indexing application".

The motors are also fully customisable.

Parker is able to change mounting, shaft sizes, manufacture hollow shaft motors, coat the motors to customer specs using PTFE, white FDA coatings, and change windings to better match customer requirements - all of which allow our customers to differentiate their product offerings from those of their competitors.
