Introduction
Modularity
Our design philosophy has
modularity at its core. Our aim is
to meet the specification set by
the widest range of applications
with a unique power transmission
package built from standard
components. The resulting
catalogue enables us to deliver
three key demands arising in
a highly competitive global
marketplace; performance,
cost and time.
Our motors are sourced from
both internal and external
suppliers. We ensure that the
resulting component meets the
most challenging specification.
Our gearboxes are designed
and manufactured in house
exploiting today’s materials
by innovative design.
The standard components
within this catalogue will enable
us to meet most specifications,
if not our applications team will
work with you to meet your
special need.
The sales team will be pleased
to help with the selection of the
most effective product. It may
be helpful to complete the brief
questionnaire that you will find
on our website.

Introduction
Customisation
This catalogue is presented
in prime component form
enabling the user to satisfy their
application needs with a drive
system produced from standard
components customised to their
application.
We understand that systems may
need unique features at the point
at which they interface with your
machine. Typical areas that may
be customised are
• Output shafts
• Flying leads and looms that
may include strain relief, crimps,
heatshrink and connectors
• Special gears, pinions or pulleys
fitted to output shafts
• Gearbox mounting plates to
interface with your footprint
Our sales team are always
available to assist customers at
the specification stage, samples
and pre-production quantities can
be supplied.
We do offer a design and supply
service for applications that
demand a totally unique power
transmission or control system.

DC Motors and
Optional Gearboxes
Introduction
The widest
range is key
to infinite
flexibility
Flexibility is the key
characteristic of this section of
the catalogue. The permanent
magnet brushed and brushless
dc motors offered here have
been designed and wound
to satisfy applications calling
for a power range of 1-150W.
1.5V-30V range is available
where appropriate.
Windings have been chosen
to offer speed variations where
noise, life or current may be
critical. If you can’t find your
exact requirement here, motors
can be wound to your precise
specification.
Our innovative gearbox design
expertise together with today’s
materials have been combined
to maximise the full output
power generated by this widest
range of motors in the most
price sensitive way. Each
gearbox type is offered with
many ratios, torque of 5mNm
to 10Nm is achievable through
the range with speeds peaking
at 1000rpm.
Low noise and extended life are
characteristics that are high on
our agenda.
Motors, gearboxes and
encoders can be combined
in a manner that is infinitely
variable, providing our
customer with a precise and
complete solution for each
and every application.

The use of standard
components is often the best
way of containing cost and will,
in most instances, provide a
unique transmission system.
Customisation that includes
modified output shafts, gearbox
bearings and dedicated motor
windings are available where
appropriate. All motor gearbox
packages can be supplied with
flying leads, connectors and
output drives.
A unique feature of this
product range is the option of
feedback from incremental and
absolute encoders. Completing
this modular range of motor
gearboxes is our user friendly
and low cost programmable
dc controller . This product
can be used to deliver a costeffective servo system.
This introduction provides just
a brief insight into the infinitely
variable options available to
you from this catalogue. The
following pages, backed up by
component data sheets, will
help you to select the most
appropriate combination for
your application. If you need
help please call your local sales
engineer or our sales desk.

DC Motors and
Optional Gearboxes
Rare earth magnet motors
can be a cost effective option
when high speed, high power
density, long life or small size
are important. This low cogging
motor range offers greater
power compared with other
brushed motors of the same
volume. This is achieved using
very thin Neodymium magnets
and high density windings.

Brushless dc motors are
commonly used where precise
speed control, low electrical
noise or long life is necessary.
They are typically 75-80%
efficient and often use a
permanent magnet internal
rotor, three phases of driving
coils and hall effect sensors.
Brushless motors do not spark
making them ideal for EMC
sensitive applications.

BLC4A
The Rotalink BLC4A board is a simple
brushless motor commutator capable
of driving brushless motors with hall
effect sensors up to 96W.
The board provides both analogue and
PWM speed control, Break, Direction
and Reset inputs as well as a tacho
speed output. These I/O have been
fitted to a standard 0.1” header for easy
connection to customer electronics or
standalone use with pin jumpers
(available on request). The board also
features both a power and fault LED.

Current Limiting Board
Use of the Current Limiting Board
(electronic clutch) allows the
maximum current available to
a dc motor to be limited; this in
turn limits the torque available
from the motor and is particularly
useful to protect gearboxes
where an unlimited motor could
apply a torque great enough to
cause damage to the application
or gearbox. We configure each
pcb to limit the current as
required by your application.
The Current Limiting Board
can provide up to 2000mA at
12Vdc and 800mA at 24Vdc.
Current limitation is available in
both single and bi-directional
mode. The board has an inbuilt
thermal protection device rated
at 6 Watts, these graphs show
the effect of operating time on
the current limiting board.

Electromagnetic
Interference
The increasing trend towards
miniature multi functional
devices brings with it the
problem of electromagnetic
interference (EMI).
Unsuppressed motor
Motor after suppression
has been fitted
There are many ways in which
we can help you achieve
electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC).
Varistors
To reduce the effects of
radiated noise we can offer dc
motors with an internal varistor
ring. This device is fitted across
the motor coils and offers low
cost suppression.
Filters
The effects of electromagnetic
noise can be reduced by fitting
capacitors and chokes close to
the dc motor. We offer a range
of populated pcb’s that can be
fitted directly across the motor
terminals.
Wiring looms
We can design and
manufacture wiring looms
which incorporate twisted
power leads, electromagnetic
shielding and ferrite beads,
all of which offer significant
reductions in EMI.

Introduction
A new
and unique
approach to
motion control
You will find here a new and
unique approach to motion
control. The design philosophy
has been to innovate, keeping
a keen eye upon the application
of well understood technology.
The resulting product is user
friendly and lowers the cost
barrier by a mile, making serious
motion management systems
available to all.
Central to our product offering
is the basic brushed or
brushless dc motor interfaced
with an appropriate gearbox.
Add an incremental encoder,
sandwiched between motor
and gearbox, or an absolute
encoder mounted on the back
of the gearbox and all of the
hardware necessity for a servo
is in place.
Red Drive brushed or brushless
controller using feedback
through the encoder can now
be used to maximise the full
capability of the motor. The flow
chart protocol will allow you to
deliver the sequence of events
demanded by your design.
Change during the development
process is simple and when the
design is in place you can use
the chip on your own board.

The flexibility
Access the vast range of
standard brushed or brushless
dc motors. Interface with
gearboxes which are designed
to meet the exacting standards
of the twenty first century. Use
encoders which allow the use
of standard components. The
result, a unique servo built to
meet your specification.
The cost
Easy to use software keeps
the design process in the
control of those close to the
project. The novel use of
standard components and a
huge awareness of material
development has enabled our
design team to lower the cost
of gearboxes. Releasing the
unused potential in today’s
low cost motors is the final
ingredient allowing the total
servo package cost to be
slashed.
Time to market
The options available in
component selection and the
ease with which change is
made, the powerful flexibility
and user friendly software
allows you to minimize the time
invested in the design process.
as
Remember you can use
a design tool, incorporate it in
your final product or take the
chip and use it on your own
board.

Control of DC Motors
Incremental Encoder
In order to support twenty
first century OEMs in their
determination to maintain a
competitive edge we have
developed an ASIC based dual
channel encoder. Available
across the major parts of
the range of dc motors and
gearboxes it represents the
most cost effective answer to
the need for feedback.
The incremental dual channel
encoder is available across
our modular range of brushed
and brushless dc motors and
gearboxes.
The encoder offers a range
of output options upto 48ppr
in single or dual channel
configurations.
A capacitive design based
around a custom ASIC, the
encoder can successfully
operate over a wide range of
temperatures and is unaffected
by external magnetic forces.
The ASIC has internal
amplification and can directly
drive TTL logic.

For use with our ovoid gearbox
range there are three different
size variants, providing a
sandwich mount between our
standard single shaft dc motors
and gearboxes. For our planetary
gearbox range the encoder fits
neatly into the motor endplate
resulting in no additional length.
Various options of the encoder
are available from 2ppr single
channel to 48ppr dual channel
(giving 192 positions per rev with
signal processing).

Absolute Encoder
Our absolute output shaft
encoders provide accurate
positional information unaffected
by power loss and self
correcting in the face of electrical
interference. They operate via
contactless magnetic technology
providing either a linear analogue
output (0-5V) or reliable 10bit
positional data sent via a SSI
(synchronous serial interface).
The single turn absolute encoder
operates through the full 360° of
rotation and accurately monitors
its position indefinitely without
power.
The multi turn operates through
32000 revolutions whilst still
providing the maximum resolution
of 10bits per 360° and is fitted
with an integral rechargeable
battery to provide full position
monitoring for 100 hours when
main power is removed.

offers Red Drive in two ranges of
fully-integrated PCBs:
Brushless Red Drive –
Modular
As Rotalink has gained
experience in the control sector,
it has become clear that there
are applications where the long
lifespan of a brushless motor or
the precision of a stepper motor
make them indespensible. With
this in mind, the Red Drive chip
has been used as the core of a
new, modular controller suitable
for such brushless systems. A
range of control modules and
drive modules allows exactly the
right level of performance to be
selected. To this can be added
optional I/O boards, so that as
well as simple switches, pots
and LEDs the Red Drive can
interact with a PLC via ModBus
or accpept 0-20mA inputs.
Full technical details
are available from the
component data sheets
at www.rotalink.com
Brushed Red Drive –
Streamlined
The Red Drive concept stems
from Rotalink’s view that the
brushed dc motor, when
equipped with a well-designed
gearbox and feedback device,
can form a servo system able
to produce more power using
less space and for a lower price
than an equivalent stepper or
brushless motor.
The brushed Red Drive is
engineered to make closedloop speed, acceleration and
positional control possible in the
most price-sensitive applications.
It can respond to both analogue
and digital inputs and give
outputs to control LEDs, buzzers
and similar devices.
Software is available to download
from www.rotalink.com.
Functions
Speed control: output speed will
remain stable running against a
variable load.
Position control: move set
distances. Maximum movement
from start position is 44,000,000
motor revs.
Home: define one input as a
‘home’, this provides a reference
point for all other movements.
Acceleration: unit features a
‘straight line’ profile, available
from ‘as fast as motor’ to a
maximum acceleration time of
1967 seconds.
Wait: unit can wait (either motor
running or stationary) for up to
549500 seconds.
Global fail safe: external input
can trigger Red Drive shutdown.
Variable calculations: Various
calculations can be made on
variables, +, -, *, <, >. Useful for
counting in sequences.

Supply Current 10A Max continuous.
PWM1.5Axx
Supply Voltage 7 - 24Vdc
Supply Current 1.5A Max continuous
A range of open loop Pulse
Width Modulated speed and
direction controllers for use
with brushed dc motors up
to 10A.
All our controllers use PWM
adjustment running at 20Khz
to provide high quality speed
control. The motor will see an
average voltage proportional
to the duty cycle it is receiving.
There are 3 variants of
controller, a 10A uni-directional
(varies speed only) unit, a 1.5A
bi-directional controller (varies
speed and direction) and a
1.5A uni-directional (varies
speed only) unit.

Uni-directional unit:
More simple than the
bi-directional controller. This
PCB simply provides speed
control in one direction. The
potentiometer changes speed
linearly from full speed to stop.
The motor connection must be
reversed to change direction.

Bi-directional unit:
Using the onboard
potentiometer it is easy to
adjust direction and speed;
with the potentiometer set full
CW the motor turns clockwise
at full speed, simply rotating
the potentiometer to full AC will
rotate the motor anticlockwise
at full speed. Positioning the
potentiometer at 50% will stop
the motor.

Introduction
Ideally suited
to a wide
range of
applications
This group of products is
unique in the scope of its range.
It contains both uni and
bi-directional synchronous
motors and electrically
controlled reversible motors
interfacing with both spur
and hybrid gearboxes.
Product is offered across a wide
voltage range and gearbox
ratio options are extensive.
UL approval is available where
appropriate.
For applications where constant
speed is essential the stand
alone synchronous motor
or a motor interfacing with a
gearbox is an invaluable tool.
Typical uses include cam timers,
lubrication systems, diaphragm
and peristaltic pumps and clock
mechanisms but many products
that demand constant torque or
speed will benefit. Where torque
is important the guarantee
of constant motor speed
coupled with the mechanical
advantage generated from your
gearbox delivers a low cost
and consistent torque speed
performance at the output shaft.

Synchronous motors also offer
real advantages where motor
life is critical, the lack of brushes
and low torque levels will deliver
many tens of thousands of
trouble free hours. Low noise is
often critical in both domestic
and commercial applications
and its management is a key
part of our design philosophy
and manufacturing expertise.
Please speak to your sales
engineer or call our sales desk
if you need help with the
selection of a product.
Special lead lengths and
dedicated output drives can
be fitted to your specification
and delivered to your line as
you need them. Our aim is to
deliver to our customer a “fit
and forget” service.

Permanent Magnet
and Hybrid Stepping
Motors and Drives
Introduction
The widest
range
The selection of the correct
stepping motor requires
specialised knowledge, the
options are considerable.
Stepping Motors feature
accurate digital motion control,
precise shaft position control,
wide torque range and step
angle accuracy.
The motor requires drive
electronics to control the
electrical pulses which switch
the motor windings. This
range offers open loop control
systems which are widely used
in digitally controlled motion
applications.
We have now extended
our modular drive range to
incorporate programmable
bipolar stepper drives. The
range includes both 4 amp
and 10 amp products and
incorporates the unique twin
feature of our Red Drive
philosophy; easy to programme
and chip only options.
Within Rotalink the widest
range of permanent magnet
and hybrid stepping motors
are supported by a team with
extensive experience in both
design and manufacture. Our
engineers are well qualified
to give you support in the
selection and application of
motors. We have a number of
drives for use as design tools.
Motors can be supplied with
special shafts including lead
screws and interfaced with
dedicated gearboxes and a
standard dual line encoder.
Connectors and pulleys can be
fitted to your specification. The
majority of our wide range of
product is available from stock;

When selecting your motor
there are many parameters
to consider including voltage
and current available from your
drive, speed, resolution, space
and cost. The following notes
may assist you in your selection
of a suitable package:
For an application requiring a
speed of less than 5rpm and
torque of greater than 1Nm
we suggest you consider a
permanent magnet stepping
motor fitted to a gearbox.
Where a speed of less than
5rpm and torque of less than
1Nm is required you can
consider either a permanent
magnet or hybrid stepping
motor without a gearbox.
For an application requiring a
speed greater than 5rpm we
suggest you consider a hybrid
stepping motor. A gearbox will
give additional output torque if
required.
We understand that the
selection of a stepping motor
can be complex. If you need
any support please give our
technical sales desk a call.
A hybrid stepping motor will
offer high resolution which can
be further enhanced by use of
microstepping drives.
Stepping motors are
manufactured with two types
of winding; bipolar (identified
by having only four leads) and
unipolar. Higher torques and
speeds are available from
bipolar wound motors however
the external drive circuitry
required to achieve this is
more complex.

The
board was designed
with cost at the forefront of the
specification and manufactured
in volumes that deliver this
promise.
Use Red Drive throughout the
product development process.
• Write your own programs and
modify them, at any stage,
quickly and easily.
• Prototype test and
modification.
• Compatible through
pre-production and production
stages.
• Design with Red Drive PCB
with the option of a Red Drive
chip on your own board.
The flexibility of the new modular
Red Drive system, allows it to
drive bipolar stepper motors
along with brushless dc motors.
In this type of application it offers
all the same advantages (see
page 33) as well as a number
of features unique to stepper
motors:
• 1/256 micro stepping gives
the option to ease the motor
from one step to the next in
256 increments, trading a
small amount of performance
for superb smoothness of
motion.
• The stacked configuration of
the control and drive modules
that make up the Red Drive
allow it to fit neatly onto the
back of a NEMA size 23
stepper.
• Chopper drive functionality
allows a high voltage supply
to safely drive a low-voltage
stepper motor, coaxing
m
aximum performance
without risk of overheating.
• The flow chart editing software
allows programming in terms
of revolution per minute or step
frequency - whichever is more
convenient for the project at
hand.
Although sized to fit onto a size
23 hybrid stepper, Red Drive is
compatible with the entire range
of bipolar stepper motors - both
hybrid and geared permanent
magnet. The latter can be fitted
with our absolute encoder, giving
certainty of position even when
steps are missed or the output
shaft is back-driven.

Bipolar – this is a sophisticated
way to drive the motor and
achieves higher torque and
speed than unipolar versions.
The phases inside the motor
are always on but the polarity
is reversed as the stepping
sequence dictates.
Bipolar drives often provide
additional features such as
micro stepping for very smooth
operation and higher voltage
chopper drives to achieve
higher speeds. This motor
normally has 4 flying leads.

Unipolar – this is the simplest
way to drive a stepping motor.
The phases inside the motor
are either on or off, they are
not reversed. Unipolar motor
are used in many applications
where the higher torque and
speed of bipolar versions are
not needed.
A unipolar motor is identified
by 5 or 6 flying leads.
