What is a housed motor?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Novanta\u2019s housed motors bring the fidelity of our frameless motors into a production-ready package capable of withstanding harsh industrial realities. Whether driving a linear stage or a robotic joint, the IP-rated housing shields the internal mechanics from debris while maintaining exceptional thermal management. With options for absolute or incremental feedback, it delivers the exact position control your application demands\u2014straight from the box.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Streamlined Motion, Simplified<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Building on the high-torque legacy of the Agility and Omni series, the Vector housed motor eliminates the complexity of component integration. By packaging our advanced magnetics with precision bearings and feedback in a robust enclosure, we\u2019ve created a true “bolt-on” solution. This design drastically reduces machine build time, allowing you to drop in high-performance motion without the need for intricate mechanical alignment or additional protective engineering.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Built with Omni\u2122 and Agility\u2122 direct drive motors from Applimotion, PurePrecision\u2122 optical encoder technology from MicroE and precision bearings, the OmniRH & AgilityRH Series rotary actuators provide the benefits of direct drive rotary motor performance in a standard NEMA 23 motor package.
A 16.5 mm axial through hole and 288,000 CPR encoder is standard. Shaft extensions and different encoder resolutions are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The OmniRH offers up to 0.106 Nm of torque at speeds up to 200 RPM* and is built using Applimotion\u2019s compact and powerful Omni Series Direct Drive Rotary Motors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The AgilityRH enables ultra-smooth motion by using Applimotion\u2019s smooth and accurate Agility Series zero cogging direct drive rotary motors. Up to 0.318 Nm of torque is available at speeds up to 200 RPM*.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


All models are compatible with a wide range of controllers and drives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/rt-tabs-tab>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n
