Harmonic Drive LLC Product
Zero backlash actuator features an integrated servo drive utilizing CANopen® communication conforming to DS402 and DS301. 24VDC Nominal +7 to
RSA-8A Integrated Drive
The RSA mini actuator is extremely compact and delivers high torque with exceptional accuracy and repeatability. This evolutionary product eliminates the need for an external drive and greatly improves wiring while retaining high-positional accuracy and torsional stiffness in a compact housing. This new mini actuator is ideal for use in robotics.
Since it communicates via CANopen, only 4 conductors are needed: CANH, CANL, +24VDC, 0VDC. A single-turn 14bit (16384 cpr) absolute encoder has been integrated.
Key Features:
- Actuator + Integrated Servo Drive utilizing CANopen communication conforming to DS402 and DS301
- 24VDC Nominal +7 to 30VDC Supply Voltage Range
- Single Cable with only 4 conductors needed: CANH, CANL, +24VDC, 0VDC

HDL-IDE 3.0 Software
HDL-IDE 3.0 software provides the ability to setup or commission the RSA Mini Integrated actuator without connecting to a CANopen master controller. A single actuator can connect to a personal computer or laptop with a CAN communication converter and a power supply. All 256 parameters, including the tuning parameters and 256 general user variables can be set and stored to be recognized by the CANopen master controller operating the specific application. The following are some of the features included in HDL-IDE 3.0 software:
