DSM announces the SUM-40 Smart Motor

DSM has just announced the release of the SUM-40 smart ultrasonic motor. This compact motor utilizes piezoelectric technology to drive the output. This technology has inherent properties that give the SUM-40 a distinct advantage over similar motors. For example, the output features zero-power hold at torque levels much greater than the maximum drive torque. This leads to greatly reduced power consumption in applications that require precise positioning. The peak power consumption of the driver is 12 W.

The motor features zero backlash. Coupled with the optical encoder that comes built into the motor, the output is capable of exceptionally high resolution down to 130 microradians. The motor excels in applications that require precise positioning and high torque, with a max torque of 100 mN-m.

One of the most unique features of this motor is the communication scheme. The motor uses USB Type-C for power and communication (RS232). DSM’s goal in creating this motor was to provide an ultrasonic motor positioning solution that is easy to use and integrate into a system. By using USB Type-C and including an amplifier, controller, and encoder into a compact 38.1mm x 34.4mm form factor, the motor is a favorable rotary positioning solution.

DSM is based out of Franklin, TN, USA, and specialize in the development and application of micropositioning and nanopositioning devices. DSM works in all industries and enjoys strong customer and partner relationships with commercial, government agencies, national laboratories, and academic institutions. DSM welcomes the opportunity to evaluate your precision motion requirements. DSM enjoys a personal relationship with each of its customers and is willing to go great lengths to ensure customer satisfaction.
