Hello guys. Please, I need your help. I fell in love with the performance of this super-motor ❤️ . I want to know if I can use it in an wire bending machine with a diameter of between 6 millimeters and 10 millimeters ... And can i use it in mechanism to cut metal bars ... His speed is miraculous ... I can hardly believe this motor is real

Hi You ssef, I'm glad to hear the ClearPath servo is working well for you. ClearPath motors are used successfully in a wide variety of machines controlling a diverse range of actuators. This use includes wire bending machines and cutters. Just like any application, as long as the ClearPath is properly sized and an appropriate control scheme is used, you can be successful. It sounds like you already have a specific motor model. If it turns out your new application would be optimized with a different ClearPath or control scheme, our motor selection guide can help narrow down the choices. www.teknic.com/products/clearpath-brushless-dc-servo-motors/clearpath-motor-selection-guide/ I hope this helps. If you have further questions about ClearPath or your new application please reach out and contact us. (www.teknic.com/contact/). Best regards, Matt C. -Teknic Servo Systems Engineer

How would I be able to use these motors in a RepRap machine?I'm thinking of using 75v to power them but I'm not sure how to use these with a board like mks gen l 1.0

Hi Roman Voloshyn, I have no personal experience with the RepRap machine or its controller (MKS), but I think I can help you by highlighting what is required to control the ClearPath - SD servos. ClearPath is an integrated servo system (servo motor, drive and encoder), so you only need to supply it with bus power (24-75Vdc) and a digital command. The ClearPath - SD series of motors are controlled using step and direction signals (similar to how you would control a stepper motor). Each ClearPath - SD servo has 3 digital inputs: Enable, Input A (Direction), and Input B (Step), and also 1 digital output to provide High Level Feedback (HLFB). For each ClearPath motor, the MKS controller will need to provide 5 to 24Vdc for the Enable line, Input A and Input B, each capable of sourcing (or sinking) about 12 mAmps. Although HLFB is not required for the motor to operate, we recommend that you use it to provide the controller with move status and motor fault notifications (assuming that this is possible with the MKS). If the MKS controller is already configured to output 5-24Vdc step and direction signals, then you should be able to wire the existing step line and direction line to Input B and Input A, respectively. It would then be as simple as powering the Enable input, and the system would respond to step and direction commands. I hope this helped address your questions. Please feel free to contact Teknic if there are any other ClearPath related questions we can help with. Best regards, Mark D - Teknic Servo Motion Control Engineer

Guys what motor size would I need for this project! I'm looking for the motor to turn up to a max of 300lbs. on a tabletop that will be attached to the shaft, we want to use a wireless transmitter/receiver gyro/accel connected to a adruino and when we turn left/right I want the motor to turn as well, nothing in a fast motion, I prob have to add code to the adruino to control the motor, I'm seeing what size I would need, thanks for any info..

Hi Virtual Gamesterz, To size a motor we will need some additional information (such as mechanical information, move time goals, etc.) Please give us a call or email support@teknic.com. We'll be happy to assist. Erik M. - Teknic Servo Systems Engineer

I have a question about I guess what you’d call ‘stalling’ what happens if my mechanism jams? The servo keep trying to move to position or will it time out after a certain time?

Hi Matt, This is a good question. The short answer is that if there is something physically preventing the motor from reaching the commanded position, it will issue a safety shutdown. There are several different shutdown types that may occur based on the specific situation. The shutdown type that occurs first is based on the commanded motion and motor settings. These shutdowns help to prevent damage to your mechanics and to the motor itself. Once the jam is removed and ClearPath is reset, you should be able to resume operation. If you're interested, here is a link to a video that goes a bit further into detail on these shutdowns as well as some helpful safety features: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1Hl3mYNujoCdZJg I hope this information is helpful.

I wish they would run on 12 volt. I have a million applications for 12 volts

David Myers or even 48v, 75v is a little tricky!

Hi David and Matt, Although the ClearPath motors cannot run from 12 VDC, the good news is that the fractional hp, DC input ClearPath motors can run on anything between 24-75VDC. Additionally, Teknic does have a number of customers who use 12V batteries to drive their systems, but those customers wire their batteries in series to provide at least 24V to the motor. Many people have asked why Teknic doesn’t make NEMA 23/34 motors that run off of a wider nominal input voltage range though (i.e. greater than 75VDC or less than 24VDC). The short answer is that it all comes down to motor/drive design and construction. If you'd like more information, I've expanded a bit in the following paragraphs to hopefully help explain these design considerations. While many stand-alone motors can operate throughout a wide voltage range, ClearPath is an integrated servo motor and servo drive. Servo drives typically operate over a relatively narrow voltage range and this is usually due to component specs and ratings. By limiting the upper end of the operating voltage for the NEMA 23/34 motors to 75VDC, Teknic was able to decrease the product footprint and keep the overall price down. Theoretically, we could have designed ClearPath for a wider range of voltage, but doing so would have involved choosing different (i.e. larger and more costly) electrical components (e.g. transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc.). Teknic also could have decided to lower the minimum voltage range to less than 24VDC, but that would have brought its own set of challenges. While it’s true that we could have looked at different electrical components if we ran below 24VDC (components capable of handling increased current), the bigger issue was the power output of the motor. The power output of these motors at 12VDC is not very high, and to change that, would have required major redesigns. As you may already know, a motor’s electrical power input is proportional to the mechanical power output, and electrical power = voltage * current. If we want to keep the same power output despite a drop in input voltage, we would need to increase the current proportionately. However, as the current through the windings increases, the resistive losses increase as well (these are calculated as I^2*R losses). Now, we can (to an extent) counteract these losses in other ways (e.g. by decreasing the resistance), but doing so involves major changes to the motor’s construction (e.g. a completely different housing with different wire gauges, fill factors, etc.). If you take a look at the torque-speed curves on our website, you'll see that you can adjust them for a few different voltage levels (24VDC, 36VDC, 48VDC, 75VDC). The maximum power output for any motor is at 75VDC, and you'll notice that for most models, if you lower the input voltage to less than 75VDC, the performance is decreased as well. If we had designed the motor to run from 12-75VDC, the power output at 12VDC would so low as to render them unusable in most applications. I hope this information helps. If you have any questions regarding the use of ClearPath in your application, please feel free to contact support@teknic.com. Best regards, Bridgette G. - Teknic Servo Systems Engineer

Teknic Inc thank you for your answer, I'll have to look into making it 24 volts, that requires a heavier battery setup.
