Torque Curve
Click the image to download a PDF file that has specs, drawings and torque curves.
All torque curves based on 25°C ambient.
Motors were operated using MDT (Trapezoidal Drive Mode) Commutation.
For ambient temperatures above 25°C, Continuous Torque must be linearly derated
to 0% at 85°C.

Brake
Animatics offers all SmartMotor™ with an optional brake with the following features:
Fail Safe
If there is a loss of drive power, the brake will engage.
Internally Powered
There is no need for extra cables.
Zero backlash
Experience no loss of position once the lead is held in place.
- By default, the brake engages upon any fault condition or drive-off state.
- Can automatically disengage while moving and re-engage once stopped.
Automatic firmware control:
- Safely holds vertical loads if there is a loss of power.
- Holds loads from shifting on mobile or moving base machine designs.
- Holds position upon power down so there is no loss in position.
- Prevents operators from moving loads or equipment while SmartMotor is shutdown.
- Prevent back drive of any load while the motor is in a fault state of OFF position.
Reasons to use a brake:
- The brake will add length to the motor. Ensure there is adequate axial space for the added length.
- The brake must have power applied to allow motion, this does add some heat. It may be necessary to operate the brake only under trajectory as described above.
- If the brake is set to automatically disengage during moves, it will add an audible click at the beginning and end of each move.
Considerations when using a brake:
Warning
- If manual over-ride commands are used to engage the brake, it must be disengaged prior to other moves to avoid damage.
- Excessive back driving of an engaged brake can cause dust build-up resulting in encoder disk contamination and/or permanent damage to the brake disk itself.
- Heavy axial loading can cause improper brake operation. Excessive axial load inward may disengage the brake. Excessive axial load outward may jam the brake.
