Learn how to reduce time, costs, and complexity with integrated systems.
What is a flange gear motor with integrated brake and encoder, and what are its main advantages?
A flange gear motor with integrated brake and encoder is a compact drive unit, where the motor, gear box, brake, and encoder are optimally coordinated and combined in a housing with flange mounting. The main advantages are reduced machine complexity, space savings, lower installation effort, higher precision und improved reliability.
For which applications are these integrated drive units particularly well suited?
These drive units are ideal for applications that require high precision, safety, and compactness. This includes machine and plant engineering, the packaging industry, robotics and automation, machine tools, the medical technology and generally applications with positioning tasks or vertical loads..
How does the integrated encoder contribute to precision in such a drive system?
The integrated encoder provides continuous accurate feedback on position, speed, and direction of rotation of the motor to the control system. This enables precise control (closed-loop operation), which is critical for positioning tasks, as found in CNC machines or packaging technology, and is crucial for the quality of the final product and can reduce scrap rates by up to 5%.
What role does the integrated brake play, especially in safety-critical applications?
The integrated brake, often an electromagnetic spring-applied brake, primarily serves to securely hold loads in a power-off state or during an emergency stop. This is essential for vertical axes (e.g., in lifting devices or robots), to prevent load sagging and ensure machine and operator safety.It can reduce downtime by up to 15%.
What should be considered when selecting and sizing a flange gear motor with brake and encoder?
Important are a precise design regarding torque, speed, and load profile of the application. Also, the operating conditions (IP protection class, temperature), the required precision (encoder resolution), the brake requirements (holding or working brake) and the interfaces to the control system must be taken into account. Oversizing can incur unnecessary costs.
How does ATEK’s modular system assist in configuring these specific drives?
ATEK’s modular system allows for millions of configuration options for flange gear motors with integrated brake and encoder. Customers can thus receive a customized solution that is precisely tailored to their requirements, often with fast delivery times thanks to a large inventory and the ability to provide custom solutions even in small batches..
What typical communication interfaces are there, and how do they simplify system integration?
Modern integrated drives support common fieldbuses such as EtherCAT, PROFINET, or CANopen as well as digital and analog standard signals. These interfaces enable fast and reliable data transfer to the control system, which significantly simplifies the system integration, reduces wiring effort, andshortens commissioning times. How can an integrated flange gear motor contribute to reducing total operating costs (TCO)?.
