New LR17 Piezo LEGS Rotary Motor
The LR17 is the first motor in a series with four different sizes.
The new LR17 expands MICROMO's strong line-up of piezo technology from PiezoMotor and is offered with an integrated absolute encoder.
The compact LR 17 is a mere 17 mm in diameter and has all the benefits coming from the Piezo LEGS technology. The stall torque from the motor is 30 mNm, which is high compared to its small size. Because of the self-locking feature of the friction drive, the motor can hold position without consuming any power. The integrated 15 bit magnetic absolute encoder gives a closed loop resolution of 0.2 milli-radians (0.01º). Through the Piezo LEGS technology, you get an amazing sub-micro-radian resolution in open loop.
"The LR17 is the first motor in a series with four different sizes. It allows our customers to have a very compact motion solution, including sensor for easy integration. It follows our motto - Simplicity in Motion. The Piezo LEGS technology makes it possible to continue improving existing customer design when conventional motor technology has reached their limits" says Anders Larsson, Sales & Development manager at PiezoMotor.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
