Lenze is introducing the ‘fluxxtorque’ extra-low-voltage servo drives for decentralised, networked motion control systems
Lenze ‘fluxxtorque’ extra-low-voltage servo drives integrate the control electronics and power stage with a synchronous servo motor.
Models are available for 24 and 42V dc supplies suiting safety zones such as those found with medical equipment and areas with potentially explosive dust.
The fluxxtorque system is said to offer outstanding advantages in terms of technology and cost in decentralised network operations.
Servo motors with integrated drives are available at 140 and 170W suiting supplies of 24 or 42V dc. This gives nominal torques of 0.45 and 0.8Nm, yet the high performance servo drive can deliver peak torques 600 per cent higher. In addition, the smooth-bodied motors require no fan cooling and are sealed to IP55.
Resolver feedback is standard and a holding brake can be specified; communication options are Can, Profibus and RS232.
The decentralised concept of fluxxtorque gives savings in construction cost, not least in the control panel where space requirements are eliminated. Installation and commissioning is said to be faster, and is aided by the Lenze L-force Engineer software package.
