Harmonic Drive
Integration made easy
The IHD servo actuator from Harmonic Drive comprises a backlash-free gearbox, a servo motor, a dual motor feedback system for position measurement and a motion controller in a complete drive solution.
Integration into user applications is supported on the one hand by the central hollow shaft of the actuator, which is suitable for the passage of a wide variety of media, and on the other hand by the user-friendly software developed in-house for plug & play commissioning. Thanks to the thermal optimization of its design, the servo actuator meets all the requirements for high-performance applications in the field of stationary and mobile drive technology, according to manufacturer Harmonic Drive. Advanced simulation tools for thermal evaluation of the system have been developed for this purpose.
The system has an application processor for future smart applications such as condition monitoring and can be used as a separate platform for customer-specific application programming. The system works with DC voltages of 24 V or 48 V. Communication with the machine controller is possible via CANopen, Ethernet and Ethercat.
