I am looking for a servo motor to oscillate shaft periodiaclly at some angle.
We have quoted one company but the price they are charging for control box I would prefer to build something myself.
Their servo motor
Motor rated torque 8.6 Nm
Rpm 2000
Continuous stall torque 10.2 Nm
Continuous stall current 7.29A
Insulation Class H
Protection IP65
Electrical connection Full Connector
Motor Brake Not Fitted
Feedback device Sin/Cos encoder
Cooling Natural
I have taken a look at NI webpage and found similar motor AKM52H.
What sort od drive for it is necessary and what are other components required to Program/Control it.
What for and where in general should I start looking for this sort of applications?
In our application we need to oscillate the shaft of the motor to some angle up to probably 20 degree at frequency up to 50 Hz.
Ideally the motion should be smooth(Sine) and average shaft position should not change(no drift of the shaft position over time).

Hello
If you wish to control a servo motor this can be done quite easily. I'm not sure about the specifics of what servo motor you should get but in terms of the controlling the device this could be done with a wide range of PCI cards or any multifunction DAQ device. I assume for this kind of application you would want D I/O to control the stepper motor and an Ai for the feedback.
I suggest calling the office (click the contact NI button for details how) and speaking to an inside sales engineer. They can help you configure your device for your application.
Many thanks
