Product Overview
New product lineup not only for position control, but also for dynamic force and speed control
Built-in drive circuit, position sensor, DC motor and gear box
Suitable for customers who need both force and speed control as well as position control
12mm diameter coreless motor lineup, 17mm diameter coreless motor or BLDC motor lineup
– 17mm diameter DC motor version will be released later. Generally, large motor diameter provides stronger force and
better durability.
– The lifespan of BLDC motors is better than that of Coreless motors.
27/40/53/90mm stroke option
Rated Load of 12N ~ 100N according to gear ratio for each stroke
– Speed is inversely proportional to Rated Load, so the stronger the Rated Load, the slower the speed.
Support RS-485 or TTL / PWM communication
– TTL / PWM communication version operates by automatically recognizing the input TTL / PWM signal.
– When using PWM communication, only the position command is available while feedback data cannot be received.
MODBUS RTU or IR Open Protocol
Lineup
Main Features
FORCE Control
- Stall Force and current control based on current feedback
- Current feedback allows detection of objects and obstacles
- Possible to maintain constant force for a certain time (Applicable to Gripper, etc.)
Precision position & Dynamic speed control
- 30~50μm Unidirectional repeatability & Position feedback (Varied by each stroke version. See spec chart.)
- Absolute position sensing via Potentiometer (No Calibration needed)
- 32Bit Micro controller, High resolution (4096) A/D converter
- Dynamic speed control (Fastest speed is default and is able to reduce speed without power loss)
Durability & Safety
- Heavy Duty Reliable 12V coreless motor with 7 ~ 13V input voltage range
- Metal alloy rod
- Engineering plastic case (27mm stroke version)
- Aluminum stroke case & engineering plastic motor case (40mm / 53mm / 90mm)
- Current control allows longer life cycle & safer design
- Life-cycle Reference Data is on our homepage (Under 50% duty cycle recommended)
- Vertical (Z axis) use is possible due to mechanical Self-lock (Certain models are not applicable, see the model chart)
- Near perfect overload protection by calculation of cumulative current
- LED indicator shows voltage/overload error status and also shows simple circuit damage diagnosis
Easiness
- Compact size for space constraints
- Hassle-free, Built-in drive circuitor
- Daisy chain serial connection between servos
- Various mounting solutions
- Detachable and 90° rotatable hinge design (Patented)
- Various APIs / Libraries / Examples of programming languages (C# / C++ / Python / Java / Raspberry Pi / Arduino etc.)
- Dedicated PC Software (Parameter setting & simple motion testing) and PC USB Interface (IR-USB01) available (Optional)
- Paired with various controller types (PC / PLC / Arduino / Rasberry-Pi / RC Controller / Dedicated embedded board etc.)
Variety and Line-Up
- Various Stroke options (27mm*, 40mm , 53mm, 90mm)
- Various Rated Load options (12 to 100N)
- Various Speed options (7.7 to 110mm/s at No load condition)
- Two types of data communication options (TTL or RS-485)
- IR Robot open protocol (Download from homepage) and Modbus RTU Protocol will be added later (Can be updated)
- TTL(Data comm.) or PWM(Pulse signal) is automatically recognized in TTL/PWM version
- * 27mm stroke can be extended to 30mm using IR-USB01
Applications
- Medical device and Lab equipment
- Vending and game machines
- Robotics

Hinge : Hinge is rotatable by 90degree according to the mounting condition. |
Without hinge, actuator can be mounted using IR-MB02 (for 27mm stroke version) or IR-MB03(for 41/56/96mm stroke version) Metal brackets. Also, IR-EB01 Rod end bearing is also one of mounting option. Please refer to the mounting manual for each accessory. |

Or, user may apply their own rod-end tip(M3 standard). Make sure to put ![]() The M3 nut is a double nut concept for angle adjustment of rod-end tip mounting. When mounting rod-end tip, make sure to fix the M3 nut and the rod-end tip by the tool(such as long nose) to set angle and to prevent the rod from turning together. (If not, it may cause damage to the product. The rod should not be turned all the time.) |
