Rockwell Automation’s Allen-Bradley motion control systems meet a variety of application needs through a broad range of servo drives, servo motors, actuators and encoders.
You’ll want to start by choosing the right Kinetix® servo drive. For simple applications, choose a compact single-axis drive. If you’re working within an Integrated Architecture™ system, you’ll want a high-performance multi-axis servo drive. The Integrated Architecture system brings together a wide range of high-performance products that are integrated into RSLogix 5000® software and the Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application for simplified and enhanced machine design, operation, and maintenance.
Add rotary and linear servo motors and actuators to complete your ideal motion control system. For more guidance on choosing the right products, check out the Kinetix Motion Control Selection Guide from Rockwell.
The Kinetix® family of servo motors includes a broad range of rotary motors and linear motors. We carry the Kinetix® VP-Series, MP-Series™, TL-Series™ and HPK-Series motors. The Allen-Bradley linear motors include the LDC-Series™ and LDL-Series™ with no-wear. The servo motor families offer Smart Motor Technology to provide automatic identification of correct motor-to-drive connectivity and are seamlessly integrated with Kinetix® servo drive for optimal system performance.
Rockwell offers a variety of Allen-Bradley actuators that provide flexible servo control through accurate positioning and quick-building forces. Integrated linear thrusters are capable of pushing, pulling or carrying a load with high velocity and acceleration. VP- and MP-Series electric cylinders use RSLogix 5000 software to extend and retract with highly repeatable positioning, velocity, and force. Finally, the MP-Series Integrated Linear Stages are ideal for high precision applications in clean environments.
Rockwell Automation solutions are designed to simplify machine design and provide more system flexibility, while improving overall performance. Allen‑Bradley Kinetix® servo drives fit seamlessly into the Logix platform for easy configurability, system integration, and your choice of network and safety options. At Codale, we carry a broad range of Kinetix® drives, as well as cables and accessories.
EtherNet/IP drives allow integration with I/O, smart actuators and any other EtherNet/IP-connected device. Encoder output modules synchronize devices to your integrated motion on EtherNet/IP system. And we carry a variety of Kinetix EtherNet/IP indexing, standalone, and integrated motion drives for low- to high-power applications.
We carry a variety of encoders that can electronically monitor the position of a rotating shaft. Absolute Encoders on EtherNet/IP connect to and operate with the Logix controllers to provide position tracking data to be used in open-loop motion control systems. The Absolute Encoders are electro-mechanical devices that are useful feedback elements in closed-loop control systems. They provide position control in packaging, robotics, pick and place, lead/ball screw, rotary table positioning and component insertion applications. The Incremental Optical Encoders provide low cost, smaller physical size, high frequency and high resolution. Codale also carries accessories to help you easily install and efficiently use Rockwell encoders.
