The motion control industry is a sub-sector of automation encompassing the moving components of machinery. As it advances, so does the productivity of the associated equipment. Here are four examples of new motion control products filled with notable features.
Allied Motion EHS Series Electrohydraulic Pump Drive Motors
Electrohydraulic pumps are crucial parts of the power steering systems on trucks and buses. Allied Motion is a company headquartered in Amherst, New York, that has a global reach.
With its EHS Series of brushless drive motors for electrohydraulic pumps, the brand offers pump motors that directly propel the electronic parts on commercial vehicles.
In contrast to entirely hydraulic solutions, the electric power steering solutions provided by the EHS Series result in substantial fuel efficiency improvements plus more design flexibility. Clients also have the option to order them with integrated hydraulic pumps.
The pump motors in the EHS Series have onboard electronics that let the motor act as an intelligent node in networks of other modern vehicles. Then, it’s possible to set work modes, bitrates and more through programming. Depending on the model selected, these drive motors have an output power range of 0.6 to 1.75 kilowatts.
Moreover, these pump motors are engineered and carefully tested to ensure excellent durability and long lifespans even in harsh conditions. As such, buyers can look forward to reduced overall maintenance and repair expenses compared with all-hydraulic options.
The products in the EHS Series are primarily meant for large vehicles such as buses and heavy trucks. However, other potential applications include agricultural equipment and lift trucks that have hydraulic steering.
