SureServo® - AC Servo Systems

The AutomationDirect SureServo family of brushless servo systems is fully digital and offers a rich set of features to cover a broad range of motion control applications. There are eight standard servo motors that can be operated in combination with one of three standard servo drives.

The SureServo family includes standard accessories such as: servo motor encoder cables, servo motor power/brake cables, ZIPLink kit for servo drive's CN1 connector that provides for easy connection of external controller and I/O, optional external regeneration resistors, and optional AC input filters.

• Eight standard servo systems from 100W to 3kW
• Use with AutomationDirect CLICK, DirectLOGIC, or P3000 PLCs; or any other host controller
• Servo Drives feature on-board indexer and adaptive tuning modes
• Free set-up software (SureServo Pro software available as a free download, or on CD)
• 30 day money-back guarantee
• Everyday low prices and same day shipping

SureGear® Precision Gearboxes for Servomotors

The PGA series of inline planetary gearboxes has a thread-in mounting style, along with a level of precision and torque capacity that is best in its class. The PGB series of right-angle planetary gear reducers offers similar technical specifications to the PGA series and provides an excellent solution when space and clearance requirements are limited. PGD series gearboxes with compact design and hub style output are ideal for equipment that requires high-speed, high-precision indexing movement.

• Thread-in mounting style
• Best-in-class backlash
• Four gear ratios available (5:1, 10:1, 15:1, 25:1)
  additional gear ratios for PGD models (35:1 and 50:1)
• PGA, PGB and PGD series gearboxes easily mate to SureServo motors, mounting hardware is included
• Uncaged needle roller bearings for high rigidity and torque
• Adapter bushing connection for simple and effective attachment to most servo motors
• Can be positioned in any orientation
• 5-year warranty

SureGear® Precision Servo Gearboxes Overview

SureStep® - Stepper Systems

SureStep® is an open-loop stepping system that provides simple and accurate control of position and speed, and offers a low cost motion control solution with up to 1200 oz-in of torque.

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or other indexers and motion controllers act as a stepper motor controller to send step pulses and direction signals that are received by the Standard stepper drive to allow very precise motion control.

The Advanced stepper drives also accept pulse inputs, but they also can be commanded by an analog speed signal or by serial communication. The SureStep stepping system series includes:

• Two DIP-switch configurable microstepper drives
• Two software configurable advanced microstepper drives
• Two braking accessories
• Four step motor power supplies
  
• Twenty stepper motors (NEMA 17, 23, 34 frame sizes) - now available in single and dual-shaft models
• Two stepper motor extension cables
• SureStep Regen Clamp, STP-DRVA-RC-50
• SureStep External Load Resistor, STP-DRVA-BR-100
• STP-PRO v1.02 SureStep Pro Software is available as a free download or on CD
