RK Series Stepping Motor and Microstep Driver Package (AC Input)

The RK Series  incorporates new functions and state-of-the-art technologies to achieve the ultimate performance of a stepping motor. The series offers various types of motors including the standard type, IP65 rated motor type, Harmonic, Planetary and Taper Hobbed geared stepping motors along with encoder options. Three frame sizes of 1.65 in. (42 mm), 2.36 in. (60 mm) and 3.35 in. (85 mm) [3.54in. (90 mm)] are available. The wide-range of motor variations and affordable price make the RK Series a perfect solution for your various applications.
    The Smooth Drive Function ensures low-vibration and low-noise operation at low speeds by internally executing microstepping within the driver, working independently of the input pulse frequency of your controller.

    The motor's basic step angle is divided by a maximum of 1/250 without the use of a reduction mechanism or other mechanical means. Sixteen resolution levels are available, enabling fine positioning and further reduction of vibration and noise. A motion sequence of "low-speed transfer > high-speed return" can easily be performed without the need for changing from a microstep pulse frequency to a full-step operation. The RK Series can also be used in full-step operation.

    What is Class I Division 2?

    Image
    A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

    FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

    Image
    When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

    7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

    TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
