This product series grew out of the development of SMAC’s direct drive robotic finger. The focus was to develop a motor with flux in the gap greater than 10k Gauss, or 2x that of SMAC’s linear actuators. To simulate the human finger, a high torque is required, except at a much lower servo motor speed.

The HT35 Motor is a higher torque motor than others in its class and may be specified in applications with direct drive. Since the HT35 Motor does not have a gear to achieve this improved torque, this results in a reduction in total cost, no backlash from the gear train and a reduction of weight of the total solution. The HT35 is also brushless which means no internal friction, pollution or sparking from brushes and no inherent voltage brush drop, which means it is quieter, runs cleaner and results in a longer life than its brushed motor competitors.

SMAC can package this new HT35 motor with its current family of amplifier/controller options which includes industrial PLC I/O and common industrial protocols such as RS-232, CAN, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, and free programming.
