Portescap, a developer of miniature movement options, just lately launched the 08ECP20 brushless DC slotless motor. Portescap stated this mini actuation answer is designed for engineers trying to downsize gadgets and functions with out compromising on efficiency or reliability.

The corporate stated the 08ECP20 is the smallest body measurement in its Extremely EC portfolio. The 8mm motor contains Portescap’s proprietary Extremely EC winding and an optimized bearing meeting that the corporate stated permits the brushless motor to realize speeds as much as 60,000 rpm.

Portescap additionally just lately launched the M-Sense12A, the primary autoclavable encoder to hitch its product lineup and an enlargement of its surgical options capabilities. Portescap stated this encoder has been optimized for surgical robotic functions and may survive as much as 2,000+ sterilization cycles, with its autoclavable design permitting it for use inside surgical gadgets requiring exact positioning of the motor’s rotor. It’s suitable with Portescap’s present portfolio of surgical motors.

Be taught from Agility Robotics, Amazon, Disney, Teradyne and plenty of extra.

The M-Sense12A magnetic encoder supplies a decision vary as much as 1024 traces and accuracy as much as 1.5 levels, making it a possible match for surgical functions requiring correct positioning and closed-loop movement suggestions. This encoder can be in a position to work precisely at excessive enter speeds, Portescap stated, with a most enter pace of 120 kRPM at 1024 traces/rev in incremental mode. Incremental and absolute suggestions choices can be found.

Portescap’s Greg Harnsberger, senior supervisor of worldwide trade advertising, might be talking on the Robotics Summit & Expo, which takes place Might 1-2 in Boston. Harnsberger and Yoshi Umeno, trade supervisor, international medical & robotics at Kollmorgen, will focus on “Design for Peak Efficiency: Movement Management System Choice in Subsequent-Gen Robotics” from 1:45-2 PM on Might 1.

The speak will dive into the crucial elements impacting motor choice throughout joint sizes, from high-torque motors changing hydraulics to miniature motors for easy and exact end-effector movement. It’ll additionally uncover the secrets and techniques to seamless communication from suggestions gadgets and educate attendees easy methods to engineer an optimized motor system.

Kollmorgen and Portescap are each owned by Regal Rexnord.
