The Newest Addition to the Delta Line Integrated Motor Family: IBS80

Our mission here at Delta Line is to provide the industry’s most agile, flexible and personal service within sub-1kW motion systems. To achieve this, we continue to invest and expand our product families in order to provide more flexibility for our customers. The newest addition to our product portfolio is the IBS80, a brushless motor with integrated motion control. This motor expands the Delta Line family of motors, which includes both brushless DC motors and stepper motors.

The Delta Line IBS80 is a compact BLDC motor available in two models, with a rated torque range of 0.8-1.13Nm. It is 80mm square by 120-130mm in length and weighs just over 2Kg. The IBS80 can be equipped with RS485 Modbus-RTU or CANopen fieldbuses and with an absolute single turn magnetic encoder or incremental magnetic encoder. This integrated motor contains system protections including over and under voltage, overcurrent, overheating, phase-to-phase and ground shorts.

• Interface: Modbus-RTU, CANopen
• Rated Torque: 0.8 – 1.13 Nm
• Rated Current: 10 – 13.3A
• Rated Speed: 3210 rpm
• Operating Voltage: 24-48Vdc
• Weight: 2.1-2.2kg
• Encoder: Magnetic Incremental and Absolute Single turn
• Protection Class: IP54

Product designers recognize the space savings benefit from an onboard controller by eliminating the need for separate motor and controller locations. However, there are additional benefits to an integrated motor that are often overlooked. For example, by eliminating the power and electrical cables connecting the motor to the controller, the designer both saves space and decreases electrical noise. Cables are very often a design afterthought (and a significant headache for the engineer), so by eliminating the complexity of routing cables to the motor it keeps encoder signals free from electromagnetic interference (and makes the engineer’s job easier).

“There are additional benefits to an integrated motor that are often overlooked.”

An integrated motor such as the IBS80 also contributes to a streamlined design and integration process. Since the drive and the motor are already configured, it is ready to go right out of the box. Reduced integration time directly correlates to reduced product development time. Additionally, the parameters are preconfigured for the best motor performance, leading to improved system efficiency. We know through our own experience in applications such as healthcare, intralogistics, security, and robotics that system efficiency has become a priority in machine design. All of these factors combined means that our customers see a 20%-40% reduction in their cost with the integrated motor approach.

Delta Line provides a variety of integrated brushless DC and stepper motors. For example:
• IBS42, BLDC motor with torque range 0,062-0,25Nm
• IBS57, BLDC motor with torque range 0,055-0,42Nm
• IBS80, BLDC motor with torque range 0,8-1,13Nm
• IBI80-IP65, BLDC motor with torque range 0,9-1,13Nm
• ISI57-IP65, Stepper motor with torque range 0,55-1,89Nm
• ISI60-IP65, Stepper motor with torque range 1,1-3,1Nm

Delta Line is dedicated to being a customer-focused company. We recognize that managing a supply chain in today’s environment is a full-contact sport. This is why we continue to expand our product portfolio and offer product customization to meet our customer’s design and application needs. The wide range of products we offer include motors, controllers, integrated motors, linear actuators, gearboxes, encoders and more. With a homogeneous supply chain approach, multiple products can be procured through the single point of contact to reduce the complexity associated with managing a global supply chain. With our mission to provide the industry’s most agile, flexible and personal service within sub-1kW motion systems, Delta Line is your motion control solution provider.
