AutomationDirect has added LS Electric servos systems that provide extremely accurate motion control and include the most requested features - setup wizards, auto-tuning, built-in indexer, and more – in an extremely cost-effective package. The L7S family of brushless servo systems is fully digital and capable of covering a broad range of motion control applications.
There are five standard servo motors from 100W to 1kW that can be operated in combination with one of two standard servo drives. The L7C drives accept single-phase 200-230VAC and are controlled via analog speed or torque signal, high-speed pulse train, or internal indexing. Setup is easy using the built-in keypad/display or the FREE DriveCM PC-based software. These systems are fully compatible with most AutomationDirect PLCs or any other host controller.
The L7C family includes standard accessories such as pre-made servo motor encoder cables and servo motor power/brake cables. DIN-rail mount I/O break-out kits allow for easy connection of external command and I/O signals; optional external braking resistors and optional AC input filters are also available.
The L7C servo system selector tool is available here; it provides selection assistance for your application requirements and assures that all the required and optional accessories are included in your first order.
The new L7C Servo drives start at $267.00, and the new L7C Servo motors start at $194.00.

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.
For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
