Elmo Motion Control, leaders in the military motion control arena for over 30 years, has enhanced its standard hornet military servo drives for applications requiring very high-power pulses out of a very compact package.
The ultra-compact B-Hornet, which will be displayed at Elmo's AUVSI 2012 booth (3351), boosts the standard 20A/120V Hornet to 40A/120V. It weighs only 1.8 oz (50 g), yet can 'burst' over 4000 watts of power to military applications such as winglets, UAV - Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Gimbals, Turrets, and other unmanned vehicles. It can also withstand extended environmental conditions.
Based on Elmo's SimplIQ technology, the B-Hornet is also capable of operating in position, velocity and current modes and contains a wide range of feedbacks and I/O options. With Elmo Composer software, users can easily perform drive setup, configuration, tuning, analysis and programming. The drive operates on DC power and, as a PCB-mounted device, enables efficient and cost-saving implementation.
What makes the B-Hornet servo drive distinctive from other 40A drives on the market? "The huge difference is in its ultra small size, yet high power density," explains Haim Monhait, Elmo CEO. "Our customers are looking for a motion control solution that can meet the space limitations in their military applications, but that can still excel when it comes to power requirements and servo performance, which is the combination the B-type Hornet provides."
B-type Hornets:
• Deliver extremely high power output
• Emerge from an ultra small package
• Ultra efficient with negligible heat dissipation
• Produce high performance servo control
• Additional dedicated control and power conversion functions
• Withstand even more robust environmental conditions
