Intelligent Motors and Motorised Actuators
The Reliance Cool Muscle Motor is a compact, cost-effective motion control solution integrating a precision stepper motor, high-resolution encoder, and sophisticated drive and control electronics. Key features include:
- NEMA sizes 11, 17, and 23 with two frame lengths each.
- Encoder resolution of 50,000 counts per revolution.
- Speeds from 0 to 3,000 RPM.
- Continuous torques from 0.027 to 0.87 Nm (1.24 Nm peak).
- Fully closed-loop control with H-infinity controller and vector drive.
- Programmable for standalone operation with RS232 and USB communications, with options for RS485, PROFIBUS, and Ethernet.
- Safe 24V DC operation.
Details include motor output power, maximum speed, continuous and peak torque, load inertia allowance, motor inertia, and input supply current. It also covers pin layout, pulse interface, and computer control interface specifications.
Accessories include communication cards (RS485, PROFIBUS, Ethernet), power supplies, and control room software for setting parameters and creating motion profiles. Standard and customized cables are available, including Y-cables for USB or serial port connections.
Reliance Rack Actuators are available in tubular and solid rack configurations, ideal for high-speed precision applications such as pipette systems.
Custom solutions for specific applications are available, offering tailored motorised actuators to meet unique requirements.
Pre-built motion stages with integrated Cool Muscle motors are available, suitable for laboratory automation and light industrial automation.
These sections provide an overview of linear actuators and linear rail actuators, highlighting their applications and specifications.
Technical support and detailed information on product interfaces, software, and electrical connections are provided in the technical information section.
The document provides an overview of Reliance's range of intelligent motors and associated products designed to enhance the performance of the Reliance Cool Muscle system. Key products include flexible shaft couplings, planetary gearboxes, and intelligent actuator systems.
Reli-a-Flex® Flexible Shaft Couplings
Designed for accurate motion transfer between rotating shafts, accommodating misalignments and protecting bearing systems.
Planetary Gearboxes
These gearboxes offer low backlash, zero maintenance, and high durability, available in NEMA 17 and 23 sizes with ratios from 3:1 to 512:1.
Intelligent Actuator Systems
Includes rack actuators and positioning stages, providing precise linear motion with high speed and resolution. The Racktuator™ features built-in closed-loop control, programmable motion control, and can operate independently or communicate with a PC.
Technical Specifications
Details technical specifications for various products, including resolution, speed, temperature range, repeatability, and material specifications. For example, the Reliance Cool Muscle motor offers a resolution of 0.00085 mm with 50,000 steps/rev and a maximum speed of 300 mm/sec.
Bespoke Motorised Actuators
Reliance offers custom-built solutions tailored to specific requirements, leveraging their catalogue components and design engineering support.
Reliance Cool Muscle Stage
The RCMS series combines high-speed motors with leadscrew-driven slides, suitable for applications in industrial automation and laboratory research. It offers various configurations and options for customization.
Hybrid Linear Actuators
These actuators are designed for high performance and durability, featuring custom thermoplastics and stainless steel leadscrews, available in NEMA frame sizes 8 to 34.
- Captive Shaft Actuators: These offer a compact design with a short stroke, converting rotary to linear motion using an integrated leadscrew and nut. The leadscrew is held captive within the motor housing, providing precise linear movement.
- Non-Captive Linear Actuators: These have a short footprint with the leadscrew traveling through the motor, eliminating the need for additional mechanical components.
- External Linear Actuators: These combine leadscrew and nut technology with stepper motor technology, providing zero transmission error and a shortened linear footprint.

Product Overview Reliance Cool Muscle Motor Cool Muscle’s unique features include the ability to link up to 15 motors which can operate together in complex sequences without an additional controller. Cool Muscle is able to use a physical limit of travel as its reference position, using torque sensing to safely and accurately find the limits of travel without needing a position sensor (e.g. limit switch). The high level of integration provided by Cool Muscle reduces cabling, keeps components to a minimum and speeds up system assembly. Customised XYZ positioning table Precision linear stage Medical...
