New VLM servomotors for value-conscious applications
Kollmorgen is launching the VLM servomotor series to fill the gap between stepper and high-performance servo motors. The new VLM series synchronous servo motors offer OEMs, machine builders and end-users, an excellent price-performance proposition in the torque range of 0.5-4.5Nm continuous and 16Nm peak, with speeds of up to 6000 rpm. They also provide highly flexible configuration, proven quality and high reliability. Hence, they are very useful for many applications where stepper or asynchronous motors are pushed to their limits but the expense and unused dynamics of high-performance servo motors is not desirable.
The many standard design and configuration options built into the range allow engineers an optimal approach from the outset to tailor their applications and machine requirements. Thus, installation time and cost is minimised and the price-performance ratio is further improved. The VLM series motors are available with standard frame sizes of 60mm and 90mm or NEMA 23 and 34 in each of the six most popular motor sizes, and with a choice of 12 standard windings. The extensive possibilities for shaft and mounting facilitate seamless integration into virtually any system.
Feedback options include Digital Resolver (SFD), resolver, encoder and Hall sensors. VLM motors achieve continuous torque up to 4.5Nm and peak torque to 16Nm and can be used in power systems with 230V AC. The new motors meet the ROHS Directives for CE and UL certification.
Petr Osipov, Product Manager Motors at Kollmorgen Europe explains: "In accordance with the motto "Think Forward' we offer considerable benefits to OEMs, machine builders and end-users with our VLM servomotors. This high-quality and configurable synchronous servomotor can provide excellent value for money in many applications where the most technically advanced servomotors are not required."
