Portescap, a developer of miniature movement options, just lately launched the 08ECP20 brushless DC slotless motor. Portescap stated this mini actuation resolution is designed for engineers seeking to downsize gadgets and functions with out compromising on efficiency or reliability.
The corporate stated the 08ECP20 is the smallest body dimension in its Extremely EC portfolio. The 8mm motor contains Portescap’s proprietary Extremely EC winding and an optimized bearing meeting that the corporate stated permits the brushless motor to realize speeds as much as 60,000 rpm.
Portescap additionally just lately launched the M-Sense12A, the primary autoclavable encoder to hitch its product lineup and an growth of its surgical options capabilities. Portescap stated this encoder has been optimized for surgical robotic functions and might survive as much as 2,000+ sterilization cycles, with its autoclavable design permitting it for use inside surgical gadgets requiring exact positioning of the motor’s rotor. It’s appropriate with Portescap’s current portfolio of surgical motors.
Study from Agility Robotics, Amazon, Disney, Teradyne and lots of extra.
The M-Sense12A magnetic encoder offers a decision vary as much as 1024 strains and accuracy as much as 1.5 levels, making it a possible match for surgical functions requiring correct positioning and closed-loop movement suggestions. This encoder can be capable of work precisely at excessive enter speeds, Portescap stated, with a most enter pace of 120 kRPM at 1024 strains/rev in incremental mode. Incremental and absolute suggestions choices can be found.
Portescap’s Greg Harnsberger, senior supervisor of world business advertising and marketing, can be talking on the Robotics Summit & Expo, which takes place Could 1-2 in Boston. Harnsberger and Yoshi Umeno, business supervisor, world medical & robotics at Kollmorgen, will talk about “Design for Peak Efficiency: Movement Management System Choice in Subsequent-Gen Robotics” from 1:45-2 PM on Could 1.
The discuss will dive into the crucial components impacting motor choice throughout joint sizes, from high-torque motors changing hydraulics to miniature motors for easy and exact end-effector movement. It can additionally uncover the secrets and techniques to seamless communication from suggestions gadgets and train attendees the right way to engineer an optimized motor system.
Kollmorgen and Portescap are each owned by Regal Rexnord.
