LMD17 Electric Cylinder NEMA 17 Ethernet TCP/IP with M12 Connectors

Lexium MDrive^® (LMD) Ethernet TCP/IP NEMA 17 (42 mm) with eCylinder integrates a 1.8° 2-phase stepper motor, drive electronics, advanced networking controller and an inline mounted captive electric cylinder. Linear motion is produced by an ACME screw/nut system directly coupled to the driving shaft. These compact products offer many distinct benefits including competitive price, high accuracy and repeatability. A cleaner, quieter alternative to pneumatics for some applications. Feedback options include: Open loop stepper, closed loop with hmTechnology (hMT) or multi-turn absolute encoder.

M12 circular connector interface for power, I/O and industrial network connection.

This product communicates over 10/100 Ethernet and supports the following industrial protocols:

MCode/TCP (SEM USA proprietary programming and control language)
EtherNet/IP (ODVA conformance checked)
Profinet IO
Modbus/TCP
