JVL ServoStep integrated stepper motors

The ServoStep integrated stepper motor family, from JVL, features a wide range of options and will thus fit into all possible user applications, according to the company.

Integrated motors provide the user with an all-in-one solution, with a single unit including a motor, drive electronics, encoder, motion controller and an easily programmed embedded PLC with eight I/O points on board. The motors can operate as standalone units or be controlled from a master PLC or PC. The I/O points can be individually configured as digital inputs, digital outputs or analog inputs.

Features include: absolute multiturn encoders, CANopen, double shaft, hollow shaft, electromechanical brakes (front or rear mounted), IP protection class up to IP65, special customised connectors and Safe Torque Off (STO) input. Even wireless options exist — including Bluetooth, Zigbee and WLAN — making the motors suitable for AGVs and other battery-supplied applications.
