17Lf Servo Series

    Looking for L12 series? Please see here.

    ⚠ Notice
    The information for 17Lf series shown on the website is for advance publicity. We are happy to release 17Lf series in the third quarter of 2024 after completing certifications and technical documentations. The drawings have already been listed on the digital archive, and other technical data such as user manuals, datasheet will be posted in advance as soon as they are ready.

    The new mightyZAP servo series with a 17mm diameter motor which improve durability. Provide faster speed under the same rated load specification comparing to the 12Lf series.
    Overall functionality is almost same as the 12Lf series, but only RS-485 communication and MODBUS RTU protocol are provided, and user expandability has been improved with the expansion I/O port.

    17Lf Servo Series Features

    • Compact size with built-in drive, position sensor, DC motor and gear box
    • Better durability & faster speed under similar rated load comparing to 12Lf series thanks to the bigger 17mm diameter DC motor
    • Position, current and speed control along with position & current feedback
    • Easy digital I/O control through expansion I/O port (No coding)
    • Action feature which enables user's motion save & run
    • 27/37/50/87mm(*) stroke option
      (*): Each 3mm stroke can be added when adjusting the long stroke limit through Total Manager software.
    • Rated load of 17N~70N depending on the lead angle for each stroke.
      - Speed is inversely proportional to the rated load, so the higher the rated load, the slower the speed.
    • RS-485 MODBUS-RTU protocol applied (IR open protocol is not provided)

    Main Features

    Current Control / Current Feedback

    • Stall Force and current control based on current feedback.
    • Current feedback allows detection of objects and obstacles.
    • Possible to maintain constant force for a certain time (Applicable to Gripper, etc.) 

    Precision position & Dynamic speed control

    • 30~50μm Unidirectional repeatability & Position feedback (Varied by each stroke version. See spec chart.)
    • Absolute position sensing via Potentiometer (No Calibration needed)
    • 32Bit Micro controller, High resolution (4096) A/D converter
    • 1000 steps dynamic speed control (Fastest speed is default.)

     Durability & Safety

    • Longer durability compared to the 12Lf series by applying a 17mm diameter 12V coreless motor
    • Metal alloy rod
    • Engineering plastic case (27mm stroke version)
    • Aluminum stroke case & engineering plastic motor case (37mm/50mm/87mm/)*
    • Current control allowing longer life cycle & safer control
    • Life-cycle Reference Data is on our website (Under 50% duty cycle recommended)
    • Vertical (Z axis) use is possible due to mechanical Self-lock (Certain models are not applicable, see the model chart)
    • Smart overload protection by calculation of cumulative current
    • LED indicator shows voltage/overload error status and also shows simple circuit damage diagnosis

    Easiness

    • Compact size for space constraints
    • Hassle-free, Built-in drive circuitor
    • Daisy chain serial connection between servos
    • Improved user expandability by expansion I/O port (control without coding is available)
    • Various mounting solutions
    • Detachable and 90° rotatable hinge design (Patented)
    • Dedicated PC Software (Parameter setting & simple motion testing) and PC USB Interface (IR-USB02 or 03) available (Optional)
    • LED Error indicator and MODBUS communication error code
    • Paired with various controller types (PC / PLC / Arduino / Rasberry-Pi / RC Controller / Dedicated embedded board etc.)

     

    Variety and Line-Up

    • Various Stroke options (27mm, 37mm, 50mm, 87mm)*
    • Various Rated Load options (17 ~ 70N)
    • Various Speed options (28 to 117mm/s at No load condition)
    • RS-485 data communication (4pins)
    • Modbus RTU Protocol (IR Open protocol is not available)
    • PWM and TTL to be added later
    • Customization is actively available
      * Can be extended up to 30mm/40mm/53mm/90mm through IR-USB02 or USB03, respectively.
