Industrial small servo drive system
The 2nd generation of the industrial small servo drive system from WITTENSTEIN cyber motor ill keep you ahead in the future. It promises even more performance in terms of connectivity, compactness and configurability. The modular system consists of servo motors, servo actuators, servo drives and a compact drive system The highlight: the cyber® simco® drive 2 servo drives series, which is about 30% more compact and has a multi-Ethernet interface for maximum connectivity. These drives additionally score with CIP Sync real-time functionality, decentralized intelligence and a Safe Torque Off (STO) function. The drives also form part of the compact cyber® dynamic system. Integrated in the motor, this drive system impresses with decentralized intelligence directly on the axis and saves space in the switch cabinet.
cyber® kit line small: Frameless servo motors
The frameless servo motors of the cyber® kit line small product family offer maximum torque and flexibility in a compact size. In additional, the frameless design with a large hollow shaft gives the maximum possible freedom of integration to develop unique solutions for specific applications. The cyber® kit line assembly kit consisting of rotor and stator can be flexibly integrated into the machine thanks to the variety of variants.
cynapse® Analyze – Health Index: Intelligent gearbox monitoring for maximum performance.
The cynapse® Analyze Smart Service with the Health Index analysis tool and the utilization radar assess the status and utilization of your gearboxes. The data from the drive train is analyzed in real time and the actual load on the components is evaluated. The current status is visualized via a traffic light system. In addition, the utilization radar indicates whether the gearboxes are permanently operated within the permissible load limits – crucial information for service life optimization.
UpGreat! NTP - Qualified for more Value
UpGreat! NTP – Qualified for more Value The new NTP planetary gearbox with output flange uses the familiar output geometry of the TP+ gearbox. The reinforced roller bearings on the output allow very high external forces. Coupled with the new toothing and the backlash of ≤ 5 arcmin, the NTP offers unique performance parameters for this product segment. Thanks to a wide range of ratios, the NTP planetary gearbox is suitable for the most diverse applications. Benefits for your application: Improved repeat accuracy With backlash ≤ 5 arcmin, the new toothing class of the product allows it to be used in applications requiring increased levels of precision. Greater absorption of external forces The use of more powerful roller bearings allows the NTP to absorb significantly higher external forces. Better synchronization The new, high-quality toothing components with revised microgeometry improve the synchronization properties of the NTP. Reduced operating noise As well as offering improved synchronization, the optimized toothing also has a positive impact on the operating noise of the NTP.
miniaturized Galaxie®
The most compact hollow-shaft gearbox with the highest torsional rigidity: The new miniaturized Galaxie® gearbox The miniaturized Galaxie® gearbox takes the proven principle of our classic Galaxie® a step further. The result: innovative kinematics enabling almost full surface contact during power transmission – in an extremely compact footprint. Thanks to this unique concept, the miniaturized Galaxie® performs significantly better than established gearbox types with the same diameter in almost all dimensions. It combines the highest levels of torsional rigidity, torque density and overload capacity with a very large hollow shaft and maintains zero backlash throughout its entire lifetime. With these outstanding characteristics, the miniaturized Galaxie® is the ideal choice for applications where maximum precision and safety are decisive even though only limited space is available and a lightweight design is paramount – for example, in medical robots.
