Servomotors bridge gap between stepper and induction motors

Paul Boughton

Now available from Heason Technology, Kollmorgen’s new VLM servomotor series to fill the gap between stepper and high-performance servo motors.

The new VLM series synchronous servo motors offer OEMs, machine builders and end-users, a proposition in the torque range of 0.5 to 4.5Nm continuous and 16Nm peak, with speeds of up to 6000rpm. They also provide highly flexible configuration, proven quality and high reliability. Hence, they are a very useful solution for many applications where stepper or asynchronous motors are pushed to their limits but the expense and unused dynamics of high performance servo motors is not desirable.

The many standard design and configuration options built into the range allow engineers an optimal solution from the outset, to tailor their applications and machine requirements. Thus, installation time and cost is minimized and the price-performance ratio is further improved. The VLM series motors are available with standard frame sizes of 60mm and 90mm or NEMA 23 and 34 in each of the six most popular motor sizes and with a choice of twelve standard windings. The extensive possibilities for shaft and mounting facilitate seamless integration into virtually any system.

Feedback options include Digital Resolver (SFD), resolver, encoder and Hall sensors. VLM motors achieve continuous torque up to 4.5Nm and peak torque to 16 Nm and can be used in power systems with 230 VAC. And of course, the new motors meet the ROHS Directives for CE and UL certification.
