Feedback Keeps Step Motor Stabilized December 2004 Issue Published Date: January 06, 2005
A new motorized cylinder combines advanced step motor functionality and sophisticated motion control features into an easy-to-use linear motion product. The EZ Limo utilizes a stepping motor with a built-in feedback system. When a misstep is about to occur, the motor performs closed-loop control, ensuring stable operation. A motor, ball screw and feedback system are all housed in a compact body. The EZC, EZHC and EZHP series of motorized cylinders achieve pushing and pulling motion using a rod driven by the ball screw. These motorized cylinders specify a speed range of 0.01 mm/s to 600 mm/s, with a maximum thrust of 45N to 400N. Both the EZHC and EZHP have a resolution of 0.01 mm, and strokes of 50 mm to 300 mm with a repetitive positioning accuracy of ±0.02 mm. The EZHC and EZHB series use a software-based smooth drive function to suppress vibration and noise even during low-speed operation.
