New Stepper Motors from JVL

Next Generation NEMA23 integrated Stepper Motors from JVL

JVL, one of the world’s leading producers in the field of integrated servo and stepper motors, just released a new generation of their popular NEMA23 integrated stepper motors. JVL's NEMA23 integrated stepper motors have been around for many years and are a standard in many industries.  

You asked, and JVL listened. The new motor family is based on the newest technology and the advancement of the previous designs. A large part of the new, state-of-the-art redesign is based upon your feedback. The new line of products offers the widest range of options in the market and will fit your application.

Key features:

• Very high motor torque +40%
• Industrial Ethernets - 6 protocols
• Closed-loop operation
• Torque control
• Absolute multiturn encoder
• Safe Torque Off (STO) input
• High resolution 409600 cnt/rev.
• Double shaft
• Speed 0-3000 in 0.01RPM steps
• Electromechanical brake
• Wide supply range 7-72VDC
• Protection class up to IP65
• Connectors: M12 industrial
• Configurable  connectors

The integrated motors in NEMA23 size flange have an RS485, an optional CANopen or an industrial Ethernet interface as well as an easy programmable motion controller. All the necessary electronics in a stepper system are integrated in the motor. JVL used the latest technology to achieve the incredibly high step resolution of 409,600 step / revolution, resulting in unsurpassed smoothness. The motor is silent when it operates.
You can choose between top, or rear-end mounted M12 connectors. The MIS23 motors come in three different sizes and two different motor types; three with standard high torque stepper motors and two versions with ultra high torque stepper motors with 40% higher motor torque.

STANDARD TORQUE

• MIS231 with 1,1 Nm, length 102 mm
• MIS232 with 1,6 Nm, length 122 mm
• MIS234 with 2,5 Nm, length 170 mm

ULTRA HIGH TORQUE WITH MAGNET IN ROTOR

• MIS231 with 1,6 Nm, length 102 mm
• MS232 with 2,5 Nm, length 122 mm

The motors can be operated as standalone units or controlled from a PLC or PC. The 8 I/Os can be individually configured as digital input, digital output or analog input. As standard, it is possible to communicate with holistic systems via for example Modbus RTU or CANopen. The MAC motor standard protocol that is also supported makes it possible to connect up to 254 other JVL integrated motors. The MIS23 series allows connectivity to all industrial Ethernet interfaces such as Profinet, EtherCAT, Powerlink, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and SERCOS III.

• The most variable motor on the market using the newest and best technologies
• Extreme resolution up to 409600 steps/rev.
• Speed-precision 0.01 RPM. Acceleration-precision 1 RPM / sec.
• Built-in PLC with8 DIO, 24V or 0-5V (12bit) analog input with advanced filtering RS485 up to 921 kbit and Modbus RTU
• Option: RS422 and RS485 for encoder I / O and connection to external HMI, PLC or Encoder
• Point-to-point or multi-axis operation with up to 254 JVL motors on the same RS485 bus
• CAN Option: CANopen DSP402 and DS301
• Profinet, EtherCAT, Powerlink, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP or SERCOS III
• Pulse/Direction mode for electronic gear
• Prepared for High speed position capture
• Wide supply range of 7-72 VDC provides high torque at high speeds
• Motor current 0-6 Amp RMS and 8,5 Amp peak
• Dual supply maintains position values etc. in emergency situations
• ActiveX/OCX driver as well as JVL MacTalk Protocol
• Strong graphic programming with + - * / calculations and advanced features
• All connections with M12 connectors in IP67
• Option to double shaft and absolute multi-turn (or single turn) encoder
• Closed-Loop operation

The integrated stepper motors in the MIS series are also available with wireless Bluetooth, ZigBee or WLAN. The same type of stepper motor controller is also available as a separate unit with type no. SMC66.
