Siemens introduces four-week lead times on its Generation II Simotics 1FK7 Servomotors.
The new line features seven shaft heights, Quick Connect power connector and 20- and 24- bit field replaceable encoders in 10 styles. The four week lead time will be reduced to three weeks by January 1, 2014, on all models.
The Generation II servomotor offers three inertia versions - standard, high-dynamic for rapid acceleration jobs and high-inertia for maximum smooth running.
The motors are designed for operation without external cooling and the heat is dissipated through the motor surface.
Siemens also announced its Sinamics G120 drive system has been enhanced to include EtherNet/IP connectivity.
"In many instances, plant managers have the requirement for a single-plant network, particularly with large automotive, packaging, plastics, metals, food and beverage as well as material handling companies," said Robert Sore, product manager Sinamics G drives, Siemens.
"Our Sinamics G120 drive provides communications without limits to a specific network type."
