EDGE Motor: When Space is Critical

April 11, 2008
Nanomotion introduces the new EDGE motor, one of the smallest ceramic servo motorsin the industrial market. The EGDE motor provides 30 grams of thrust with a maximumoperating velocity of 150mm/sec. Capable of driving linear or rotary motion, the EDGEis well suited for applications in Aerospace & Military, Medical Devices, and IndustrialAutomation.The Edge motor weighs .6 grams and operates at 8 Vrms. It is supported byNanomotion’s dual axis ASIC which can function as a drive and control. The Edgemotor is ideal for shutter/aperture control, small medical pumps, grippers, and otherdevices.• Maximum Velocity (no load): 120 mm/sec • Dynamic Stall Force: 300 mN • Static Hold Force: 300 to 320mN • Static Stiffness: 0.06 to 0.09N/µ • Preload on Stage: 1.65 to 2.0N • Kf Force Constant: 30.5mN/VoH command with AB5 driver; 40.6mN/VoH command with AB1 Driver • Kv Force: -1.6307 Nsec/m • Offset: 2-3 V of 10 (driver dependent) • Attainable Resolution: 1µ
