FHA Integrated Drive

The FHA-C mini Series is a family of extremely compact actuators that deliver high torque with exceptional accuracy and repeatability. As part of the FHA-C mini family, an integrated servo drive version utilizing CANopen® communication is now available. 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 product 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 with a single-turn 15bit (32768 cpr) motor input sensing encoder providing a true absolute encoder that does not require a battery within 360° of rotation of the output. Typical multi-turn encoders monitoring the motor input shaft require a battery to store the current position when power is lost to the system; however, the dual absolute encoders overcome this need. In other words, No Battery Required. When power is restored, the actuator knows its position.

Panel Mount exit options (shown without I/O):

FHA-C Mini actuators with an integrated servo drive include standard Lemo® connectors with four exit orientation options. Along with providing the equipment builder the flexibility to choose optimum cables for their specific application, panel mount connectors permit easy replacement of cables. In the event of cable damage, the cables can be replaced without disassembling or replacing the entire actuator.
