Manufacturers
Simplex Motion
Simplex Motion is an innovative motion control manufacturer located in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The company has developed a range of integrated, highly efficient, out runner-design servomotors, also known as outer rotor motors, which offer outstanding power density - torque/weight ratio.
In addition, they produce a range of brushless DC motors for speed control applications that do not require positional feedback - these have integrated electronics and can operate as stand-alone, plug-and-play devices, with a built-in driver and multiple I/O's.
Simplex Motion was initially founded around a patented sensor design, replacing the traditional encoder solution with a new technology that provides up to 16,384ppr, with super-smooth running and precise control.
Key Features of Simplex Motion all-in-one servomotors
- Brushless electric motor with outer rotor design
- Highly accurate positional feedback sensor
- Motion controller DSP
- Motor drive power electronics
- Programmable digital and analogue inputs and outputs
- Communication interface for system integration
- Compact design with no extra housing keeps weight and size down
- No moving parts with exception of motor rotor
Collectively these features combine to make Simplex Motion servomotors compact, flexible stand-alone solutions for a wide range of mechatronic applications that are cost-effective to deploy
