High-Efficiency AR Series with Built-in Controller

★ By Stacy Combest Leave a Comment

Our popular High-Efficiency AR Series is now available with a built-in controller (stored data) type and is part of our FLEX network products. The AR Series utilizes Oriental Motor’s unique closed loop control along with lower heat generation for continuous duty. With the addition of the built-in controller (stored data) type, the built-in pulse generator allows the motor to be driven by connection to a PLC or other devices. The burden on the programmable PLC or touch screen (HMI) is reduced because the information necessary for motor operation is built into the driver. This simplifies the system configuration for multi-axis control.

The AR series with built-in controller substantially reduces heat generation from the motor through the use of high-efficiency technology. In addition to implementing the closed loop control based on Oriental Motor’s original AlphaStep technology, the AR Series also achieves up to 40% less power consumption, low vibration, improved angle accuracy and is capable of driving large inertia loads. Because it is a stepper motor, there is no hunting or gain tuning.

AR Series products are available in many frame sizes, geared and brake motor options along with AC input or DC input driverse. a 3m (9.8 ft.) cable comes standard. Available to ship in one week.
