Integrated Servo System with Absolute Encoder Option



Moog Animatics has announced the Multi Turn Absolute Encoder option for the "MT" series motors. This option is a hardware-specific internal change with a required external battery for backup to allow tracking of shaft position when no power is being applied to the SmartMotor.

The "MT" series products may be ordered in kit form with battery and cable or as separate parts. There are three different cable length options for the battery. The battery itself attaches to the limits with I/O connector of the "MT" series SmartMotors and uses the home switch input.

According to the company, the back of the battery case feeds out the limit switch connector, which maintains the ability to still use both travel limit inputs but with no home switch input. However, any I/O may be used for homing input.
