maxon DCX 2RMF and SCH small DC servo motors extended encoder range

maxon DCX motors have online configuration and an automated production facility. This enables the user to directly modify the features of the motor and select various gearhead and encoder options suitable for many safety, construction and industrial manufacturing applications.

The selectable range of encoders has increased with the 3-channel range of optical 2RMF and SCH sensors. Once the encoder is selected, the resolution option is given with selectable counts per turn from 3000 to 5000. The encoders feature a wide input voltage range from 4.5 to 30 VDC. The output signal is EIA standard RS422 using a 26C31 driver.

With the configuration tool, the user can select a low-backlash gearhead or maxon can supply zero-backlash high-reduction gearheads that, when used in conjunction with the 5000cpt will give a 20,000 quad count position capability. Multiply this by the gearhead ratio selection and the result is an accurate positioning drive.
