Makers of the SmartMotor™: Integrated Brushless Servo or Stepper Motor, Amplifier and Controller, Brakes and Gearboxes

The SmartMotor™ is:

• a controller
• an amplifier
• an I/O controller
• a network manager
• a brushless D.C. Servo Motor

all mounted into the back of the motor!

Double Torque, Same Size...
Introducing the New SM2315DT, SmartMotor

Featuring a New Compact Rotor Design for more Torque Capacity in Same Package Size

The SM2315DT features an innovated new 8-pole compact rotor design with higher copper filling factor compared to conventional techniques and the new design achieves a higher energy density as well as better efficiency that results in more torque capacity in the same physical package size. more...

New! ServoStep™: integrated smart motor

The ServoStep™ is a complete line of integrated motion control products based on step motor technology from the recognized pioneer and leader of integrated motion control, Animatics Corporation. This new chapter in SmartMotor Technology was designed with one purpose in mind, to deliver to the marketplace the most cost-effective SmartMotor possible without sacrificing features or benefits. more...

The Original Smart Motor™: integrated servo system

SmartMotor™ is an entire motion control system in a single component designed for compact, high reliability O.E.M. equipment. The SmartMotor™ servo is a fully integrated, powerful, compact unit that significantly elevates state-of-the-art motion control technology. It combines a controller, motor drive, encoder, network manager and packs it into the back of a high quality brushless D.C. Servo Motor.

...multi-axis made easy!

Increase Throughput
The SmartMotor™ meets the demands for increased throughput on automation equipment, often by replacing stepper motors. Because the SmartMotor™ will take step and direction commands, and is bolt and shaft compatible; steppers can be replaced with NO SOFTWARE OR MOUNTING CHANGES.

Increase MTBF (reliability)
The SmartMotor™ has about 1/4 the number of parts of other servo systems. It is simple - fewer parts and better design mean greater reliability.

Reduce Costs
Fewer parts cost you less, but that’s just the start.

Reduce Development Time
There is almost nothing the SmartMotor™ can’t do, so there is simply little left for you to do but complete your project.

Eliminate Field Service
Lightning strike your unit in the field?
No need to send out a technician to troubleshoot a cabinet of controls that doesn’t exist. Just swap the motor and you have changed out the entire control system; send a spare and have zero down time.
