Legacy miniature instrument drives and replacement assessments where the required torque, speed, thermal envelope and motor-controller interface are defined.
Laboratory equipment; instrumentation; miniature automation mechanisms
Review Summary
EC 8 is relevant when evaluating an installed miniature drive or defining a replacement requirement. The manufacturer states that example part 384406 can no longer be ordered. For a new product, identify a supported motor and controller combination, then qualify the same load, space and thermal duty.
