Beckhoff EL7201 servomotor terminal for EtherCAT Terminal system
16 September, 2011 | Beckhoff Automation Pty Ltd
The EL7201 servomotor terminal for the EtherCAT Terminal system is designed for highly dynamic positioning tasks. It integrates a full servo drive including an encoder system into a 12 mm terminal. The terminal is suitable for the direct connection of servomotors up to 200 W, and combining it with servo motors from the AM3100 series enables the implementation of an inexpensive servo axis. Due to the high torque and the high, stable speed, this drive solution is suitable for pick-and-place applications and for use everywhere that high dynamics, compact design and exact positioning are required.
