RSA-8A Integrated Drive

The RSA mini actuator is extremely compact and delivers high torque with exceptional accuracy and repeatability. This evolutionary product eliminates the need for an external drive and greatly improves wiring while retaining high-positional accuracy and torsional stiffness in a compact housing. This new mini actuator is ideal for use in robotics.

Since it communicates via CANopen, only 4 conductors are needed: CANH, CANL, +24VDC, 0VDC. A single-turn 14bit (16384 cpr) gear output sensing encoder has been integrated along

Key Features:

  • Actuator + Integrated Servo Drive utilizing CANopen communication conforming to DS402 and DS301
  • 24VDC Nominal +7 to 30VDC Supply Voltage Range
  • Single Cable with only 4 conductors needed: CANH, CANL, +24VDC, 0VDC
  • Zero Backlash
  • Pigtail Connectors with 4 exit options
  • Input Sensing Encoder 14bit (16384 cpr) resolution
  • Control Modes Including Torque, Velocity, and Position Control, CSP, CSV, CST
  • Harmonic Drive HDL Software for initial tuning, commissioning, and analysis
  • Homing modes include: single-ended, double-ended, double-ended with 16bit autoscale hardstop homing or teachable position
  • Harmonic Drive HDL Software for initial tuning, commissioning, and analysis

Options:

  • Flex-rated extension cables with sealed connectors

HDL-IDE 3.0 Software

HDL-IDE 3.0 software provides the ability to setup or commission the RSA Mini Integrated actuator without connecting to a CANopen master controller. A single actuator can connect to a personal computer or laptop with a CAN communication converter and a power supply. All 256 parameters, including the tuning parameters and 256 general user variables can be set and stored to be recognized by the CANopen master controller operating the specific application. The following are some of the features included in HDL-IDE 3.0 software:

  • Torque Mode and Graph

  • Velocity Mode and Graph

  • Position Mode and Graph

  • Homing Mode

    • Limit Switch

    • Current Position

    • Hardstop Homing

  • Step Response

  • Bode Plot

  • Parameter List

  • Virtual Mode (shown)
