Brilliant

[@stjinks]

This could be a game changer. Excellent addition to your product line.

Thanks, STJinks. The initial response has been fantastic, so we're excited. Best regards, Erik M. Teknic Servo Systems Engineer

This is a great addition! I use a bunch of teknics at work and the #1 issue has always been the usb connection breaking!!! I swear we have warrantied so many that someone at HQ knows our name. This will make such a difference in the durability of our equipment!

Hi Polar Bear, Thanks for the feedback, we hope you'll like ClearPath-EC! Regarding the USB connector: It sound like you may already know this, but the USB cable for all IP67-sealed ClearPath motors (including the new ClearPath-EC model) are magnetically attached. This way if a motor moves and yanks on the cable (or someone kicks the cable accidentally), the magnetic attachment will disconnect without damaging the motor. The IP53-sealed ClearPath motors still use a traditional USB connector, but we did reinforce the connector not too long ago to help protect it from accidental damage. If you have any questions, please reach out using our contact form www.teknic.com/contact/ or give us a call at [phone]. We'll be more than happy to help you out. Best regards, Nick D. Teknic Servo Systems Engineer

I use the SD versions of these motors. Once you use these motors you will not go back to noisy, hot inefficient stepper motors.

Are the encoders provided battery-powered absolute? Would home sensors still be needed or does the encoder have the maintained mechanical perpetual position?

[@lethalowo9934]

Where can I find more information about how to conect my motor with the pc using IR (InfraRed)

[@TeknicInc]

Hi @lethalowo9934, The User Manual section "Connecting a ClearPath-EC motor to your PC" should help answer your questions. You can download the manual at: teknic.com/files/downloads/ClearPath-EC_User_Manual.pdf. If you have additional questions, please call Teknic at [phone] or contact one of our engineers through our website: teknic.com/contact/. Best regards, Aaron B. -Teknic Servo Systems Engineer

Take. My. Money.

[@trollquantum]

No bad

[@motriz-industrial6846]

These motion control products apply perfectly for whoever wishes to use an RZT approach as shown here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6DCnXt_g6doj7s

[@seimela]

With that amount of money, i buy a 3KW Chinese servo ... so price is not your selling point unless performance

[@Factory400]

The lowest price is often the most expensive option. Best of luck.

[@MachinistJohn]

These are way ahead in quality and usability. Chinese servos are for garage/hobby projects

[@jorgeo4483]

ClearPath is chinese too.

[@stjinks]

@@jorgeo4483 Their servo motors are made in the USA.
