Product Description
The Rexroth Bosch's MS2N03-B0BYN-CMSG0-NNANN-NN synchronous motor has a multiturn absolute encoder (M - Multiturn, 4,096 revolutions) that provides many advantages in high-precision applications. A multiturn absolute encoder is designed to detect not only the position relative to a particular revolution but also the general number of revolutions up to 4096, in this case. This capability is very beneficial in applications when the MS2N motor needs to know where the rotor is, such as in long-travel conveyor applications or robotic actuators.
In comparison to single-turn encoders, multiturn encoders offer and output the absolute position of the motor's shaft even when it has gone a round or more on the rotation. This helps the system to determine the exact position of the rotor at an instant in a continuous operation, especially when power has been shut off. The multiturn absolute encoders are ideal for applications that need sequential and uninterrupted positions over several rotations. This is an important feature in an application where the MSN motor needs to rotate a certain number of turns and not lose count.
The encoder stores the last position of a rotor hence when the motor is switched off, it does not require a brake to hold it in position before it is switched on again and continues operations from where it left. This is very useful in applications that do not have to hold a load when the motor is off, thus reducing the motor load and its maintenance needs. In sum, the multiturn absolute encoder gives the highest accuracy of angular position for several revolutions, and the absence of a holding brake for the motor simplifies a range of applications in industry.
