Equipped with program editing and execution functions, the highly-functional and sophisticated SCX10 controller is easy to operate using our "Immediate Motion Creator" software. Easily start an operation with the click of a button or start key by setting the travel amount and speed. The SCX10 has a mini USB port on the front panel which can directly connect to a PC through a commercially available mini USB cable. Use the SCX10 as a stored program controller to connect to any of Oriental Motor's standard pulse input drivers. The SCX10 is also able to control the motor via serial communications such as USB, RS-232C and CANopen.

• Built-in, Simple to use Command Set
• GUI Software
• USB / RS-232C / CANopen
• Encoder Input

Below is this month's "Question of the Month"

V Series: High Torque in a Small Size

Q: I'm searching for small 3-phase AC gearmotors to work with my existing variable frequency drives. My requirements are at least 300 lb-in of torque and a speed range of 5~18 RPM. However, I'm finding it very difficult to locate a motor that satisfies these requirement as well as fits a 4" frame size. My application for the motor is to drive an auger to feed some material into a process. I am just now finding out that you manufacture a number of highly efficient brushless motor systems which would have been ideal for us, but we have already standardized on a specific VFD and a specific PLC in our design. Judging by the vast selection of products that you offer, I'm hoping that you can provide my solution.

A: I agree with you that our brushless motor speed control systems would have been ideal for you for its flat torque characteristics, cooler operation, energy savings, compact size, and wide speed range, but if you cannot make the switch, we do manufacture an AC motor that would work for your torque, speed, and frame size requirements. The following motor will offer 350 lb-in of torque and a speed range of 3~18 RPM (assuming your VFD has a similar speed control range as our VFDs), and its frame size is merely 90mm / 3.54". This motor is from our V series of AC gearmotors which are known to offer the highest torque for its class.
