Description
The AB MPL-A230P-EJ74AA is a premium permanent magnet rotary servo motor manufactured by Allen-Bradley (AB), a brand under Rockwell Automation. This motor is designed for industrial automation applications requiring precise control of speed and positioning.
Here’s a breakdown of its key features and specifications based on available information:
Features:
- Low Inertia: Enables rapid acceleration and deceleration for applications needing high responsiveness and precise positioning.
- Permanent Magnet Design: Offers several advantages over DC brushed motors, including:
- Higher efficiency and lower maintenance due to the absence of brushes.
- Smoother operation and reduced torque ripple for improved control.
- Single-turn Absolute Encoder (Likely): Integrates a high-resolution encoder that provides the motor’s absolute position information at any given time. This eliminates the need for homing procedures during startup.
- 24V DC Brake (Possible): May include a built-in DC brake that helps hold the motor shaft stationary when power is removed, improving safety and machine control.
- Circular DIN Connector: Offers a quick-connect and easy-to-assemble power connection.
- Keyed Shaft: Provides a secure connection between the motor shaft and the driven load (e.g., gearboxes, couplings).
Specifications (Based on Available Information):
- Frame Size: Likely 75 mm (diameter) based on common MPL-A series models.
- Voltage: 230 V AC
- Speed: Up to 5000 RPM (rotations per minute)
- Brake: Possible inclusion of a 24V DC brake
Applications:
- Machine Tools: Precise positioning of cutting tools in CNC machines, lathes, milling machines, etc.
- Robotics: Joint actuation in robots for various industrial tasks like assembly, welding, and material handling.
- Material Handling Systems: Controlled movement of materials in packaging lines, conveyor systems, and sorting machines.
