FLEX is the collective name for products that support I/O control, Modbus (RTU) control, and FA network control via network converters. These products enable simple connection and simple control, shortening the total lead time for system construction. ■Features High-Efficiency at Low Price The RK Series offers significant improvements in motor performance, driver operation and functions compared to conventional products and is available at a new lower price. In this example, the RK Series is $103.00 less. ● List Price starting from $461.00 Conventional Product: RK Series □60 mm (2.36 in.) Standard Type RK Series Pulse Input Type □60 mm (2.36 in.) Standard Type Advanced Performance ●High Accuracy ●Low Vibration Utilizing a full-time microstepping driver controlled by a digital system improves the vibration characteristics of the 0.72° stepper motor. Current control is also done by a high specification digital CPU. This product uses PWM control instead of PAM control resulting in a sinusoidal wave form in each phase, significantly reducing vibration. Conditions · Ball screw lead: 10 mm (0.39 in.) · Motor used: RK Series Stopping Accuracy: ±0.0014 mm ◇Current Waveform in Motor (theoretical figure) RK Series: Sinusoidal Wave Conventional Products: Trapezoidal Wave Vibration is reduced when the motor current waveform changes from trapezoidal to sinusoidal. ORIENTAL MOTOR GENERAL CATALOG 2015/2016 Positioning Accuracy±0.05˚ ◇Vibration Characteristics Comparison 1.40 Vibration Component Voltage [Vp-p] The positioning accuracy of the RK Series is ±0.05˚ (±3 arcmin). When used in combination with a ball screw as shown in the figure on the right, the positioning accuracy is ±0.0014 mm. The accuracy of a regular ground ball screw is ±0.01 mm, thus the accuracy is high enough for positioning operation. speed [r/min] RKS566AC-3 Step Angle: 0.72° 1.8° Stepper Motor That Uses Micro Step Driver Features A-84 / System Configuration A-94 / Product Line A-96 / Specifications, Characteristics A-100 Dimensions A-110 / Connection and Operation A-121 / Motor and Driver Combinations A-130

Stepper Motors ●High Torque The RK Series is compact and produces high torque. The torque of the 42 mm (1.65 in.) frame size has increased 50%. This contributes to reduced positioning time and increased equipment tact time. The series includes 60 mm (2.36 in.) and 85 mm (3.35 in.) frame size to cover a wide torque range. Note ●For 60 mm (2.36 in.) and 85 mm (3.35 in.) frame size products, the torque is equivalent to the conventional product. Easy-to-Use Functions ●Step Angle is Easy to Set For pulse input type, 32 step angles can be selected. To easily upgrade from a 1.8° stepper motor, use the...

0.72°/Geared Stepper Motor and Driver Package RK Series ●Space Saving ●Easy Wiring This new driver has a compact and slim body through the rearrangement of the internal components to optimize space. Multiple drivers can now be installed in contact with each other, making it possible to increase the number of axes within the same equipment space. Screwless I/O connectors eliminate the need for soldering or special crimping tools. The motor connector can be connected easily by using a dedicated cable. This will reduce wiring time, prevent mis-wiring and reduce maintenance. ●When drivers are installed...
