Extended Functions to Meet Various Application Needs

In addition to the speed control function offered by the standard model, you can implement various other functions using a control module (OPX-1A). These functions include:

• Digital speed setting (up to 8 speeds)
• Setting of positioning operation data (up to 6 data settings)
• Torque limit setting
• Various displays
  • Speed (r/min), position counter (STEP), load factor (%), alarm codes, alarm history

 

Product Application Demo

Wide Speed Control Range and Flat Torque

The BX Series offers a wide speed range of 30 to 3000 r/min and provides flat torque at all speeds from high to low. The high starting torque characteristics ensure ample torque at start and stop.

Excellent Speed Stability

The BX Series offers highly accurate speed control, achieving an excellent speed regulation with respect to load.

Speed Regulation:

• ±0.05% with respect to load
• ±0.05% with respect to voltage
• ±0.5% with respect to temperature

With the BX Series, rotational irregularity at medium and high speeds is also reduced substantially.

Speed Control During Vertical Drive

The motor with an electromagnetic brake enables stable speed control even during vertical drive (gravitational operation). When the power is turned off, the motor stops instantly to hold the load in place. The electromagnetic brake is automatically controlled via the driver in accordance with ON/OFF of the operation command signal.

Note: Regeneration energy generates during vertical drive. If the BX Series will be used in applications that require vertical drive, be sure to use a regeneration unit (sold separately).

Long Life Gearhead

The high-strength gearhead is designed to withstand high-speed revolutions. The rated life of the gearhead is 10000 hours, which is twice as long as that of our previous gearhead.

Up to 610 lb-in of Torque Possible

Hollow Shaft Flat Gearhead

Space-Saving and Low-Cost
The output shaft can be coupled directly to your drive shaft without using a coupling. The flexible installation modes, such as installation on either the front or rear face or by using the center shaft, allows you to reduce the size and installation space of your equipment. Since no shaft-coupling parts are needed, the parts cost and assembly man-hours will also decrease.

 

High Permissible Torque
While the parallel shaft gearhead lets the permissible torque saturate at high gear ratios, the hollow shaft flat gearhead enables the motor torque to be utilized to its maximum capability.

Up to 970 lb-in of Torque Possible

Control Module OPX-1A (sold separately)

You can extend the functions of the BX Series using an optional control module (OPX-1A). The following functions are available on the extended system:

• Speed setting (up to 8 speeds)
• Setting of positioning operation data (up to 6 data settings)
• Torque limit setting
• Various displays; speed (r/min), position counter (STEP), load factor (%), alarm codes, alarm history
  

Digital Speed Setting up to Eight Speeds

Speed can be set digitally using an optional control module. You can set up to eight different speeds.

Speed Control Range of 3 to 3000 r/min

The digital speed setting function expands the speed control range to cover 3 to 3000 r/min.

Improved Speed Control Accuracy

Standard Model

• ±0.05% with respect to load
• ±0.05% with respect to voltage
• ±0.5% with respect to temperature

When using a control module (Digital Setting):

• ±0.05% with respect to load
• ±0.05% with respect to voltage
• ±0.05% with respect to temperature

 

Positioning Operation is Possible

Position control can be performed with the BX Series simply by setting data using the optional control module. The resolution is 0.72° (500 pulses per rotation) and a maximum of six points of positioning data can be set, of which two can be set for continuous operation. Return to mechanical/electrical home operation can also be performed.

Continuous Operation, Return to Home Operation

Two out of six positioning data can be set for continuous operation. Return to mechanical/electrical home operation can also be performed.

Limiting the Motor Output Torque

Use of the optional control module enables torque limiting. The torque limiting function suppresses the motor output torque in accordance with the application and use condition.

For vertical applications a Regeneration Unit is available.

Control Module (OPX-1A)

By using a control module, digital setting for speed can be performed and functions and characteristics can be extended beyond those of the standard model. In addition, positioning operations and torque limiting can also be performed.

 

Regeneration Unit

During vertical drive (gravitational operation) and when starting and stopping large inertia loads rapidly, external forces cause the motor to rotate and function as a power generator. When that occurs, if the regenerative power exceeds the capacity of the driver to absorb, failure may result. In such cases, the regeneration unit is connected to the drive and the regenerative power is released as heat energy.
