IIoT New Products Maintenance Electrical Mechanical Energy Management Plant Automation Safety
Advanced servomotors available today feature a low rotor moment of inertia and a very high overload capacity. Salient pole-
wound technology gives rise to a high copper space factor, which helps attain high continuous torques. Very small end turns
result in a small overall length. Fully potted stator provides for a thermally ideal binding of the winding to the motor housing.
Potting also mechanically protects winding wires against vibrations.
One-cable technology is another advanced feature where power and process data are transmitted in one standard motor cable
instead of two cables. Encoder data, rotor position, multi-turn information, and the status of the thermal conditions in the motor
are transmitted reliably and free from interference via a digital interface. The benefits here include significant cost savings,
since plug connectors and cables are eliminated at the motor and the controller ends.
