Moulded cable gives 'off the shelf' servo solution
Moulded serial configuration cable connects SmartMotor to SmartMotor in a 'daisy-chain' set-up for serial operation, thus eliminating the need to create custom, multi-axis cable configurations.
Similar to other members of the OEM Series of SmartMotors, SM2315DT is unique by virtue of its extreme low cost and high continuous and peak output torques.
It delivers as much as 112 oz-in of peak torque while maintaining as much as 57 oz.in of continuous torque with a maximum speed capability of 4700 rev/min.
The entire line of OEM Series SmartMotors is priced competitively for high quantity, OEM applications.
Featuring standard NEMA 23 frame dimensions, the SM2315DT will meet unique customer requirements with a very familiar package.
