Smartmotor in small frame size for compact applications in harsh environments
Animatics
SM23165MT-IP Smartmotor
Animatics’ SM23165MT-IP Smartmotor with mil-style connectors offers IP65 ratings in a smaller frame size for compact applications in food and beverage manufacturing and packaging, rugged outdoor conditions and wet processing environments.
The dust-tight connectors can withstand splashing water, oil or food debris, rainy conditions, high levels of humidity and condensation.
The sturdy design and thick motor casing provides protection and durability, and resists cable stresses, meaning a longer motor life and less down time, according to the company.
Further application opportunities include wafer processing, bottle capping, seal testing, ultrasonic testing, marine and aerospace, pipe runners, mobile field equipment, coating and spraying, lens grinding, contact lens manufacturing, high-density metal machining, polishing operations, agricultural processing machines, electroplating machines, circuit-board processing, lap-grinding machines, powder coating, resin-slurry processing, glue dispensing and rubber processing.
Key specifications
- Combitronic communication protocol and standalone linear interpolation
- Option to upgrade to IP67 for applications requiring complete servo-motor submersion up to 1m deep in water or other non-hazardous liquids for up to 30min
- 10 points of 24V I/O
- Devicenet or CANopen
- Brake option available
- RS-485
- Programmable limits
