HaydonKerk Pittman (HKP), a division of AMETEK, a specialist manufacturer of precision motion control, has announced the latest addition to the IDEA® family, the EC057B IDEA 57mm DC brushless motor. The motor integrates a programmable IDEA driver, which is the same series as the EC042B IDEA DC motor launched in 2019.
The EC057B IDEA 57mm BLDC motor integrates a precision BLDC servo motor and IDEA driver, which can reduce design time, wiring requirements and overall cabinet space, thereby reducing system cost. IDEA programmable drive controllers are specially designed for real-time embedded motion controllers and are ideal for high rotational speeds and precise single-axis motion.
EC057B 57mm Brushless DC Motor Advantages: Reduced components and space, cost savings: Integrated components replace traditional and complex configurations - brushless DC motor + external driver + encoder + cable setup, a single motor / drive unit can reduce the cost of The number of devices is as high as 75%, which simplifies the structure and reduces the failure rate. Connecting the sensor inputs and control outputs directly to the IDEA, rather than through an external controller, can further reduce costs.
Save time: IDEA drive controllers feature intuitive programming capabilities, allowing customers to develop, save and debug complex motion programs in real-time. Just add power and I/O connections and a communication interface, and the EC057B IDEA motor is ready to run. Reduced design complexity: RS-485 or CANopen communication fieldbus ports are integrated for programming autonomous motion sequences, monitoring system status, or controlling multiple motors simultaneously for multi-axis motion.
Each motor in the IDEA series has a variety of gearbox configurations, a variety of reduction ratios and torques, which optimize the output performance and achieve high-precision control in a small space. This feature is suitable for many occasions. Including warehouse transportation, industrial printing, packaging, gaming, building automation, laboratory automation, medical equipment, communication equipment, semiconductor processing equipment, aerospace systems, and more.
