Features | Electric Cylinder EAC Series

High Speed Driving With Light Load or Heavy Load is Possible

For the EACM6 Type

Stable Movement With Little Speed Fluctuation Even at Low Speeds

The microstep drive of the closed loop stepper motor allows the resolution to be increased without any mechanical elements such as a speed reduction mechanism. As a result, even at low speed (1.25 mm/s), speed fluctuation remains low with constant speed.

Compact and High Thrust Cylinder

Using aluminum for the rod, these electric cylinders generate high thrust despite their compact and lightweight body.
The vibration suppression structure improves acceleration characteristics and enables high-speed positioning operation.

Product Line

The EAC Series comes in a reversed motor type as well as a straight type. Three types of cylinders are also available: Without shaft guide, with shaft guide, and with shaft guide cover.

Contributes to Space Saving (Reversed motor type)

Reversed Motor Type

Thanks to the belt mechanism, this type features a reversed motor installation direction.

Reversed motor types are available for all models. This helps shorten the overall length and saves space.

Easy Belt Replacement (Reversed motor type)

Oriental Motor's unique belt tension adjustment mechanism (patented) allows for easy belt replacement.

Direct Mounting of Load (With shaft guide/shaft guide cover)

With Shaft Guide/Shaft Guide Cover

This type has a shaft guide and cover installed, which allows for the load to be transported while attached directly to the body of this product.
Straight types and reversed motor types are available.

Encoder assoluto senza batteria

È dotato di un piccolo encoder assoluto meccanico senza batteria (sensore ABZO). In questo modo è possibile migliorare la produttività e ridurre i costi.

• Sensore meccanico
  Conserva le informazioni sul posizionamento anche in assenza di alimentazione
• Encoder assoluto multigiro
  Il rilevamento della posizione assoluta è possibile con ±900 (1.800) giri dell'albero motore dalla posizione iniziale

Semplificazione del programma principale tramite la funzione sequenza

La Serie AZ è dotata di una vasta gamma di funzioni di sequenza, come impostazioni del timer per operazioni collegate e durante le operazioni, istruzioni condizionali e operazioni in loop (esclusi alcuni modelli).
Può essere configurata utilizzando il software di supporto MEXE02, che semplifica il programma di sequenza del sistema host.

• Valore di configurazione dei dati di posizionamento (max. 256)
• Segnali di I/O fisici per uso generale (Ingresso 10, Uscita 6)
• Segnali di I/O remoti (Ingresso 16, Uscita 16)

Data Collection of Motor Operation Status and Functions Useful for Preventive and Predictive Maintenance

This software is equipped with various monitoring functions for checking the operating status of the motor.
By using different types of equipment for different situations, it is possible to shorten the start-up and adjustment time of the equipment, as well as to utilize it for maintenance and servicing.

Monitoring Function to Visualize the Motor Operating Status and Help Collect Data

The ABZO sensor bulit in the AZ Series allows you to monitor the motor's operating status numerically.

[Monitoring With MEXE02 Support Software]

In addition, the built-in controller type can realize data collection at a host master via industrial network.

Information Functions Useful for Preventive and Predictive Maintenance

By setting arbitrary numerical values for the monitored information items, external signals can be output when the values are reached.
Importing this information into the host controller helps in early detection of problems and adjustment of product maintenance timing.

Examples of Information Functions

• TRIP Information

  You can set the number of rotations you want to output in advance, and output when that number is reached. (Motor operation will continue)

  

• Temperature Information

  You can set the desired output temperature in advance, and the driver will output when it reaches that temperature. (Motor operation will continue)

  

Standardized Wiring, Control, and Maintenance Parts

Various actuator products equipped with the αSTEP AZ Series are available.
They each have the same motor and driver, which allows for standardized wiring, control, and maintenance parts.

Wiring Standardization

The wiring for motor cables, I/O signals, and power supply is the same.

Control Standardization

These products can be operated via the same method, since the control method is the same. For the network control, the remote I/O and the command code are also the same. It saves you the trouble of creating a program.

Unification of Maintenance Parts

Maintenance parts can be minimized, since the motor, driver, and cable are common to all. Management costs (parts cost, management space) can be reduced.
