HYBRID STEPPER MOTOR ACTUATORS

Helix hybrid stepper motor actuators feature heavy duty ball bearings to maximize their thrust. Helix lead screws are securely laser welded into the motor’s rotor to minimize backlash and provide years of dependable life. Bipolar for more power and unipolar windings are available, both providing quiet and smooth operation with your drive. Helix can also provide a high performance drive for your application. Optional accessories available are connectors, wire harnesses, encoders and custom lead nuts.

Detent or Residual Torque The torque required to rotate the motor’s output shaft with no current applied to the windings. Drives Term depicting the external electrical components to run a Stepper Motor System. This will include power supplies logic sequencers, switching components and usually a variable frequency pulse source to determine the step rate. Dynamic Torque The torque generated by the motor at a given step rate. Dynamic torque can be represented by pull-in torque or pull-out torque. Holding Torque The torque required to rotate the motor’s output shaft while the windings are energized with a steady state D.C. current. Inertia The measure of a body’s resistance to acceleration or deceleration. Typically used in reference to the inertia of the load to be moved by a motor or the inertia of a motor’s rotor. Linear Step Increment The linear travel movement generated by the lead screw with each single step of the rotor. Maximum Temperature Rise Allowable increase in motor temperature by design. Motor temperature rise is caused by the internal power dissipation of the motor as a function of load. This power dissipation is the sum total from I2R (copper loss), iron (core) loss, and friction. The final motor temperature is the sum of the temperature rise and ambient temperature. Pulse Rate The number of pulses per second (pps) applied to the windings of the motor.The pulse rate is equivalent to the motor step rate. Pulses Per Second (PPS) The number of steps that the motor takes in one second (sometimes called “steps per second”). This is determined by the frequency of pulses produced by the motor drive.

GLOSSARY AND DEFINITIONS

Ramping A drive technique to accelerate a given load from a low step rate, to a given maximum step rate and then to decelerate to the intial step rate without the loss of steps. Single Step Response Time required for the motor to make one complete step. Step The angular rotation produced by the rotor each time the motor receives a pulse. For linear actuators a step translates to a specific linear distance. Step Angle The rotation of the rotor caused by each step, measured in degrees. Steps Per Revolution The total number of steps required for the rotor to rotate 360°. Torque The sum of the frictional load torque and inertial torque. Pull Out Torque The maximum torque the motor can deliver once the motor is running at constant speed. Since there is no change in speed there is no inertial torque. Also, the kinetic energy stored in the rotor and load interia help to increase the pull of the torque. Pull In Torque The torque required to accelerate the rotor inertia and any rigidly attached external load up to speed plus whatever friction torque must be overcome. Pull-in torque, therefore, is always less than pull-out torque. Torque to Inertia Ratio Holding torque divided by rotor inertion.


QUALITY

HIGH TECH QUALITY EXPERIENCE When you select Helix Linear Technologies as a supplier, you can be assured that your product will be designed and tested to rigorous product planning. Pre-design activity includes understanding of customer requirements applied to predictive models, engineering calculations and linear modeling through prototype development, stereo-lithography samples of form, fit, and function that verify design criteria.

VALIDATION AND VERIFICATION Through years of rigorous development, Helix has proven its designs and manufacturing processes against the most stringent standards and specifications. Design and process verification and validation tools are employed throughout the product life cycle.

CERTIFICATIONS Helix serves many customers in the Aerospace and Medical device markets and has complied with common Quality System Requirements.

ITAR Helix is registered with the Department of State For International Traffic In Arms Compliance. The Department of State is responsible for the export and temporary import of defense articles and services governed by 22 U.S.C. 2778 of the Arms Export Control Act.

INSPECTION CAPABILITY Roundness Measurement - Critical to quality, characteristics such as roundness are monitored throughout the screw manufacturing process. Lead Accuracy Measurement - Precise lead accuracy measurment systems are utilized to validate process to conform to Helix internal specifications and customer requirements.

Contour Readers - Prior to the start of any production run, thread form geometry is precisely measured to stringent engineering specifications.
