H2W Now Manufacturing Brushless Linear Motors
With the recent acquisition of the Baldor linear motion product line, H2W Technologies has begun manufacturing brushless linear motors in its Santa Clarita, CA facility. With experience in designing and building custom linear motion systems, and now, with the tooling necessary to produce both ironless and iron-core brushless linear motors, H2W has the capability of offering a complete line of standard and custom brushless linear motors.
Ironless brushless linear motors are designed for long stroke, high speed, closed-loop applications. With a lower moving mass, they operate at speeds up to 240 ips [6 m/s], and can be precisely controlled when coupled with a linear encoder. H2W can provide motors with precision linear encoders or with hall effect sensors for trapezoidal commutation.
Typical applications for the ironless brushless motors include: Inspection, pick-and-place, clean room, robotics, machine tools, coordinate measurement, patient handling, scanning, semiconductor handling, and laser and water-jet cutting.
H2W Technologies, Inc. designs and manufactures linear and rotary motion products that are used in the motion control industry. The complete line of linear electric motors includes: Single and dual axis linear steppers, DC brush and brushless linear motors, voice coil actuators, and AC induction motors. Also offered is a complete line of ball screw, lead screw and belt driven positioning stages.Other motion control products include: Limited angle torque motors for compact, limited angular excursion rotary servo applications, 3 phase brushless rotary servo motors with matching digital servo amplifiers and permanent magnet linear brakes for fail-safe, zero power braking for baggage handling and people moving applications as well as amusement park rides.
