Siemens : HIGH-PERFORMANCE, COMPACT SERVOMOTORS

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:13:00 GMT

Siemens introduces new flavors to the 1FT7 family, a line of high-performance servomotors for such demanding motion control applications as machine tool CNC interpolation, production machine web handling and more. Their use results in shorter machine cycles due to higher dynamic response, gained through a 30% shorter design and 4x overload capacity versus 3x on the predecessor family of servos. Less downtime results from the new rigid vibration-insulated encoder mounting.
