Electromate: New Large, Hollow-Shaft Gear Unit from Harmonic Drive LLC

October 19, 2020

The new FBS-2UH gear unit series from Harmonic Drive features a large, hollow shaft with a compact outer diameter.  The extra large hollow shaft is ideal for robots and machines requiring complex cabling to pass through the axis of rotation.  

The new gear unit design features Harmonic Drive’s “S” tooth profile for optimal tooth engagement resulting in high torque, high-torsional stiffness, long life and smooth rotation.

The FBS-2UH Series is available in two sizes (25, 32) and three ratios (30:1, 50:1, and 100:1).

Key features include:

  •    –   Extra large hollow-shaft diameter is our largest yet for a standard product
  •    –   Compact dimensions for use in robotics
  •    –   Outer diameter and hollow bore optimized for design flexibility and performance
  •    –   Zero Backlash
  •    –   Accuracy <1 arc-min
  •    –   High torsional stiffness
  •    –   High efficiency
  •    –   Smooth operation
  •    –   Robust cross roller output bearing

Simple Connection of Analog Sensors and Actuators in IO-Link Networks

 

More and more users are converting their plants to digital communication solutions such as IO-Link. In addition to a variety of other benefits, these provide detailed parameter, diagnostic and identification data. In standard machine and plant engineering, however, sensors and actuators with analog interfaces are still frequently used—even though their connection is complicated and expensive because shielded cables are required. Some of these sensors and actuators cannot simply be replaced by digital solutions when converting to IO-Link due to limited availability. Therefore, analog devices previously had to be connected to a control system via other communication solutions or parallel wiring, which took a lot of time and caused additional costs.

Weidmüller’s u-control 2000: The Automation Controller

Weidmüller’s scalable engineering software, u-control 2000, adapts individually to your requirements. And, the u-control is powerful, compact and fully compatible with Weidmüller’s I/O system u-remote. This article looks at what makes u-control the heart of your automation.

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are one of the main components of any automated system. A typical control system has inputs, outputs, controllers (i.e., PLCs), and some type of human interaction with the system, a human machine interface (HMI), for example.
