SHA with Integrated Servo Drive

The SHA-IDT Series is a family of compact actuators that deliver high torque with exceptional accuracy and repeatability. These hollow shaft servo actuators feature Harmonic Drive^® precision strain wave gears combined with a brushless servomotor, a brake, two magnetic absolute encoders and an integrated Servo Drive with CANopen^® Communication. This revolutionary product eliminates the need for an external servo drive and greatly simplifies cabling yet delivers high-positional accuracy and torsional stiffness in a compact housing.

Key Features:

• Actuator + Integrated Servo Drive with CANopen^® Communication

• 48VDC Supply Voltage

• Single Cable with only 4 conductors is needed:
CANH, CANL, +48VDC, 0VDC

• Zero Backlash Harmonic Drive^® Gearing

• Panel Mount Connectors with radial and axial options

• Dual Absolute Encoders

• Output Sensing Encoder: 16 bit resolution (65,536 cpr)

• Input Sensing Encoder: 17 bit resolution (131,072 cpr)

• Control Modes: Torque, Velocity, Position, CSP, CSV, CST

• Harmonic Drive^® HDL Software

Options:

• 4 I/O

• 2 NPN or 2 PNP Opto-Isolated Digital Inputs

• 2 Programmable Analog/Digital Inputs or Open Drain Outputs

• Motor Torque Off (MTO): When either or both of the 2 MTO inputs are low, PWM outputs to the motor are inactive and current to the motor will not be possible. Control power remains active.

• Flex-rated cables with sealed connectors available

Compact Actuator Industries and Uses

A compact rotary actuator can serve in a wide range of industrial and manufacturing applications:

• Automation: These actuators can help optimize results in the various automated systems used to operate packaging machinery, assembly lines and material handling equipment.
• Robotics: An actuator can improve the function of robots that conduct end-of-arm tooling and material handling functions.
• Process control: Industries like oil and gas, pharmaceuticals and chemical manufacturing use these actuators to regulate the flow of fluids.
