Oriental Motor Updates BX Series with OPX-1A Module

January 14, 2002 by Jeff Shepard

Oriental Motor USA Corp. (Torrance, CA) introduced two new package configurations for the BX Series compact, dc brushless speed-control system. The BX Series standard speed-control system provides a 100:1 speed range from 30rpm to 3,000rpm. The addition of the OPX-1A control module provides a speed-control system with enhanced speed, position and torque-control capabilities. With the OPX-1A control module, the speed range increases from 3rpm to 3,000rpm.

Using the combined OPX-1A and controller package, up to eight speed-control settings are available. Temperature regulation is improved to 0.05 percent over the entire speed range and operating environmental temperature range. The device stores and displays a history log of the 10 most recent alarm signals, indicating details on the cause of each alarm.

Three motor sizes are available: the BX230 (30W), the BX460 (60W) and the BX120 (120W). The BX Series can be used with a GF Series gearhead or as a motor only.
