Product Description:

Kollmorgen is a leading manufacturer of motion control products and provides innovative solutions for precision control. The SMC-400 SMC Stepper Drive is made for high-performance and efficient operation in various industrial applications. The SMC-400’s torque range spans from 2 in-oz to 4,000 in-oz which makes it flexible for different load requirements.

The SMC Stepper Drive is designed for accurate motion with zero backlash which minimizes errors and ensures precise positioning. Its low moment of inertia enhances response times and efficiency which allows for faster adjustments in dynamic systems. The SMC-400 is capable of handling misalignments which include parallel, angular and axial variations. It operates in a wide temperature range, up to 248°F which ensures high performance even in extreme conditions. The rated torque and static torsional stiffness are varied across the series. For example, the SMC-401 offers 2 in-oz rated torque and 2.36 N*m/rad static torsional stiffness. The wind-up characteristics also differ across the series, with the SMC-400 providing 616 arc-sec/in-oz wind-up. Angular, parallel, and axial misalignment capabilities are customized across models, such as the SMC-401’s angular misalignment of 31 degrees, parallel misalignment of 0.076 inches, and axial stroke of 0.107 inches. Also, the bellows diameter and max bore size vary, such as the 0.250 inches and 1.57 inches are present in the SMC-400 model.

The drive has a 303 stainless steel hub which ensures strong durability and resistance to harsh conditions. It works at a voltage of 24V DC which offers stable and consistent power for stepper motor control. The Kollmorgen SMC-400 SMC Stepper Drive is a flexible and high-performance solution for precision motion control. Its attributes make it ideal for demanding industrial environments which ensures long-lasting reliability and efficiency.
