BX4 motors with integrated compact electronics

Electronic commutated 4 Pole Motor Series extended by 32mm types

The brushless 4 Pole DC servomotors of the renowned BX4 Series from FAULHABER are supple-mented by motors with a diameter of 32mm. A long operational lifetime, a high, cogging-free output torque and the lack of adhesive-bonded joints characterize these powerful motors, requirements for many applications like robotics, automation, medical, machinery, aerospace and aviation. The new drives are available in two lengths of 42 or 68 mm in voltage types of 12 or 24 V. They captivate with an extremely flat slope of the n/M curve and an excellent torque-to-volume ratio and provide a con-tinuous output torque of 56 or 97 mNm.

Besides the combination with external control electronics from FAULHABER, the motors are also available with integrated Speed Controller (SC), as two-wire version (SCDC) and with integrated Motion Controller (CS). All products with integrated electronics are equipped with an automatic limit-ing of peak and continuous current to protect motor and electronics. Separate power supply for mo-tor and electronics is optionally available.

The SCDC type is easy to handle due to the two-wire connection. It can be used in applications with higher lifetime requirements to substitute a brush-type DC motor. Therefore the motor provides a inverse-polarity protection, the direction of rotation is selected with the terminal assignment.

The CS version is based on the approved FAULHABER Motion Control Systems, whose compact dimensions are a great benefit for many applications. It has a serial interface RS232 and can be configurated with the FAULHABER Motion Manager 4.3 software. The increased temperature range of -20…+100 °C and the thermal limited continuous current up to 2,6 A extend the area of applica-tion of the new drives. The system is available with customer firmware on request.

The motor versions with integrated encoder in the robust housing offer four factory programmable resolutions from 32, 64, 128 to 256 pulses and a separate index channel.
A line driver version with differential signal output is optionally available.
