Available with comprehensive technical support in the UK and Europe from Mclennan, the M5 series’ magnetic design yields high-power density and low cogging torque and is available in a choice of low-, medium-, and high-inertia options that facilitate motion profile matching for optimised performance.

A
choice of several base models in 40mm through 130mm frame sizes includes a choice of absolute magnetic or absolute optical encoders with a resolution of up to 23-bits, enabling precise position control and smooth motion.

The M5 servo motors’ 300 percent overload torque capability allows high
throughput acceleration performance and integral brake options are available throughout the series.

Mclennan supplies AMP’s compatible AC servo motor drives with 220VAC single- or three-phase input and output capability to 13A continuous/45A peak.

Various models support motion control through optional RS-485, CANopen, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP and Profinet
protocols.

All M5 motors are IP65 rated for water and dust resistance and are UL and CE recognised. The M5 series, which features plug-in power and encoder connectors, is made complete with a wide choice of motor power and encoder cables in varying standard or custom
lengths for straightforward installation. Interfacing and electrical customisation are available on request.

As an exclusive distribution partner for AMP, the USA motion components manufacturer, Mclennan provides comprehensive application support from initial project development through to series supply.
