Celera Motion Agility Series Motors Deliver Smooth Velocity Control

January 29, 2016

Suited for scanning, pointing, measuring and cutting applications that require extremely smooth velocity control and highly accurate positioning, the Agility Series delivers best-in-class torque ripple and zero cogging. Engineered with ZeroCog slotless motor technology from Applimotion, the effects of cogging torque, magnetic forces, flux harmonics and phase balance and alignment are minimized to counteract the causes of torque ripple. Agility magnetic designs and construction techniques can achieve less than two percent torque ripple.

The Agility Series is offered in a wide range of low-profile form factors with a large through hole for convenient routing of cables, optics, sensing technologies and other system elements.  Models are available in diameters from 12 mm to 300 mm, and with peak torques up to 41 Nm.

Frameless direct drive kit construction, high torque density and low mass enable the Agility Series to be tightly integrated into compact, lightweight precision assemblies. All models are compatible with a wide range of controllers and drives. Windings and form factors can be customized to meet application requirements.
