The MAC series of brushless servo motors with integrated electronics represents a major step forward. All the necessary electronics in a servo system are integrated in the motor itself. In the past, a traditional motor system has typically been based on a cen ller unit located remote from the motor. This configuration however has the negative effect that installation costs are a major part of the total expense of building machinery. The basic idea of the MAC motors is to minimize these costs but also to make a component that is much better protected against electrical noise which can be a typical problem when using long cables between the controller and motor. The servo motor, hall sensor, encoder and electronics are specially developed by JVL so that together they form a closed unit in which the power driver and controller are mounted inside the motor in a closed section. |
