PowerPlus Stepper Motors from Moons’ Industries Serve as High-Torque Direct Replacements for NEMA 23, 24 & 34 Frame Motors

为了升级机器性能或解决停滞问题,制造商经常调整带有更大扭矩的电动机,以实现更大的加速度以进行适当的操作。

为了升级机器性能或解决停滞问题,制造商经常调整带有更大扭矩的电动机,以实现更大的加速度以进行适当的操作。但是,对步进电动机进行改造是耗时且昂贵的,因为它需要加工新的安装支架并增加驱动器尺寸和电源。PowerPlus Hybrid步进电动机MOONS’ Industrieseliminate the hassles of resizing motors by providing 25% to 40% more torque across the entire speed range of a motor. With the same physical dimensions as standard NEMA 23, 24 and 34 stepper motors,PowerPlus Hybrid Stepper Motors通常会放入位置以最大程度地降低升级成本,同时提高性能。

The increased torque of the PowerPlus technology is the result of higher motor efficiency. In a conventional stepper motor, some of the torque-producing flux that links the rotor to the stator is formed outside the stator teeth. The stray flux wastes power and adds little to motor torque. A higher magnetic flux density within the motor increases the performance of the PowerPlus Stepper Motor, enabling it to generate up to 40% more torque than conventional motors. Magnets placed between the stator teeth redirect and refocus most of the stray magnetic flux into the stator teeth to produce additional torque with the same input power.

Retrofitting existing motors with PowerPlus technology offers a quick path to producing new machines with improved performance. Because the motor size, drive, and mechanical parts remain the same, PowerPlus Hybrid Stepper Motors:

  • 降低工程成本
  • 加快新产品介绍,并更容易生产阶段
  • 减少备件清单
  • Provide a quick solution to stalling machines due to unexpected field conditions such as low temperature, dirt, wear of mechanical parts or lack of maintenance

Application Scenario

In a typical application upgrading stepper motor performance with PowerPlus technology, a manufacturer of CNC cutting systems wants to produce a high-performance version of its current machine to increase cutting speeds by 75% to 100% and improve move speed.

Machine Specs of Current Machine

Machine Specs of High-Performance Machine

  • Rapid move speed: 300 RPM
  • 切割速度:150 rpm
  • Power supply output: 24 VDC @ 5 Amps
  • Stepper drive output: 1.5 AMP
  • Motor holding toque: 210 oz-in
  • Rapid move speed: 600 RPM
  • Cutting speed: 300 RPM
  • Power supply output: 24 VDC @ 5 Amps
  • Stepper drive output: 1.5 AMP
  • Motor holding toque: 330 oz-in

Engineering this new product, the CNC manufacturer wants to minimize engineering time while limiting parts inventory. A PowerPlus Stepper Motor provides twice the additional power over the existing motor needed for the new CNC machine without redesigning new parts or changing drives, power supply or the control program. In fact, by using PowerPlus motors, the machine builder can possibly use a smaller size motor and drive system to achieve the same performance in a smaller and more cost-effective package.
