BLDC/Driver Eases Motion-Control Chores

Forming a single package for simplifying speed control, the BLU packs a brushless dc motor and a driver with power supply. The motor connects easily by plugging its connector into the driver and speed is set via a potentiometer on the front panel. Power supply options include 115-Vac single phase, 230-Vac single phase, and 230-Vac triple phase. The RoHS-compliant series consists of three models with output capabilities of 20W (60 mm), 40W (80 mm), and 90W (90 mm). Delivering speeds from 100 to 2,000 rpm, speed regulation accuracy is +0.5%. Two gear-head types are available: parallel-shaft and a hollow-shaft, with a wide variety of gear ratios. ORIENTAL MOTOR USA CORP., Torrance, CA. (800) 418-7903.
