JVL, a manufacturer of servo and stepper motors, has added to its ServoStep product line. A directly mountable motor for driving spindles is now available that replaces hand wheels in format change applications.

The ServoStep product line has everything built-in including motor, encoder, drive electronics, control electronics with ePLC and optional Ethernet or CAN bus integrated into one compact unit. All major industrial Ethernet protocols like Profinet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, SERCOS, ModbusTCP/UDP and Powerlink are available.

The features of the product include:

• Double Ball Bearings enabling up to 7100 N axial load
• Closed-loop control
• Energy-efficient due to automatic current control
• Built-in ePLC with 8 DIO, 24V or 0-5V (12bit) analog input with advanced filtering
• Ultra-high resolution: 409600 step/revolution
• Speed-resolution down to ±0.01 RPM
• Change speed or torque or other parameters “on-the-fly” (while driving)
• Optional: CANopen protocol with DS 301 and DSP 401 support
• Optional: STO (safe torque off, SIL3)

The company can also deliver the following versions:

• Rolled ball screw up to three metres
• Captive version up to 127 millimetres travel length
• Motor without screw, for mounting of own screws

The following features are available on request:

• Custom screw end machining
• Higher IP protection (for motor only)
• Trapeze lead screw with POM or brass material nut
• Teflon coating (only Captive version)
