freeing up space on plant floors. Direct-drive motors such as those in the SGM7F line allow for attaching a load directly to the servo motor, enabling a full range of motion control without the need for a shaft coupling or gearhead. SGM7F also offers a high torsional stiffness and virtually eliminates mechanical backlash, according to company officials. This yields
an output that minimizes damage to components and maximizes posi- tioning accuracy and repeatability.
Other features:
• Open-core design that adapts easily to shaft mounting and allows wiring to pass through easily
• 24-bit encoding for precise motion control
