63 www.drivesncontrols.com April 2023 NEW PRODUCTS n Kollmorgen has announced a new generation of high torquedensity frameless servomotors with higher load-carrying capacities and compact rotor/stator packages. The brushless TBM2G motors, available from Heason in the UK, come in seven rotor/stator frame sizes, each with three stack lengths, for rated power outputs from 200W to 1.43kW, and continuous torque ratings from 0.27–6Nm. Designed to operate at 48V DC and below, the motors are available with optional Hall sensors, thermal sensors, matched harmonic gears and other accessories. They have outer frame diameters from 50–115mm with large through-holes for encoders, cabling and other services. The short lengths of the frameless assemblies allow maximum space for encoders, resolvers, gears and so on. A corrosionresistant stainless-steel yoke ring supports the epoxy-coated neodymium magnets. Heason Technology www.heason.com High-torque frameless servomotors are lighter and smaller Continental has launched a new generation of endless polyurethane (PU) timing belts designed to provide reliable power transmission even in demanding environments. The Synchromotion steel-cordreinforced belts are flexible, abrasion-resistant and durable. The polyurethane cover ensures more efficient power transmission than other materials. There are 11 profiles with lengths of 1.5–14.5m, and maximum widths of 100mm. The belts can be manufactured in lengths down to one tooth, giving users more design flexibility – for example, in terms of centre distances. The numerous profiles allow retrofitting to existing equipment. The dimensions are compatible with rival products. The PU material is wearresistant, while the steel cord tension member with high tensile strength need little maintenance. Applications include synchronous conveyor systems and transport devices with sliding rails, as well as positioning and reversing drives in linear and control engineering. Continental www.continental-industry.com Delta has launched a remote input/output module designed to simplify the implementation of digital I/O on EtherCat networks. The R2-EC0902D0 module has 32 output relays supporting 2A at 30V DC / 250V AC per channel, and 32 24V DC digital inputs. The high level of integration cuts system costs by eliminating the need for a separate couplers, digital I/O modules and external relays. Input and output EtherCat ports support daisy-chaining. Power, communications, and alarm indicators are on the front of the 120mm-wide DIN-rail module. Indicators for each of the 32 I/Os are in the centre. The 32 digital outputs use normallyopen relays that operate at up to 1Hz and have an off/on response time of 10ms, and on/off response time of 5ms. The IP20-proteced module needs a 24V, 1A external supply and is compatible with all Delta and third-party EtherCat controllers. Delta https://www.delta-emea.com/ en-US/products/ EtherCAT-Motion-Control/ 12895 Wieland has announced emergency-stop buttons for the safe, manual shutdown of machines and systems, that use M12 connectors, allowing them to be integrated easily into plants using pre-assembled M12 cables. The e-stop buttons are said to offer numerous advantages due to their plug-and-play installation, including reduced installation times and cabling effort, as well as avoiding cabling errors. The buttons can be installed in control cabinets and panels. Because of their IP65 and IP67 protection, can also be installed in harsh ambient conditions in the field.

The range, which includes lowprofile and miniature versions, is available via the company’s European base in Italy. The rigid guides have a selfadjusting capability with a Xshaped arrangement of bearings that absorbs small mounting errors. They can handle equal loads in all four directions. A 45-degree contact angle of four rows of steel balls on the rails allows the balls to achieve an ideal two-point contact, and to withstand forces from both radial and lateral directions. When assembling, the blocks are interchangeable, while maintaining consistent preload and accuracy. The miniature versions are said to offer high rigidity and precision. They use two rows of steel balls with four contact points between the balls and the rail, and can also handle both radial and lateral forces. If needed, a preload can be applied for extra rigidity.
