Description
H-811.12PS
Separate 12 V wide input range power supply (60 W/5 A) for use with line
voltages from 100 to 240 V AC and voltage frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz, with
4-pin M12 connector (f)
Optional power supply for the hexapod. Replaces the power supply from
the controller. Ideal for static applications that require increased position
stability.
For further information, see "Optional: Operating the Hexapod with a
Separate 12 V Power Adapter" (p. 39).

Technical Features
3.7.1
Struts
The hexapod has six adjustable-length struts. Each strut carries out linear motion. Each set of
settings of the six struts defines a position of the motion platform in six degrees of freedom
(three translational axes and three rotational axes).
Each strut is equipped with the following components:
One actuator
Reference and limit switches
Joints for connecting to the base plate and motion platform
The actuator contains a brushless DC motor with an incremental rotary encoder and a drive
screw.
3.7.2
Reference Switch and Limit Switches
The reference switch of a strut functions independently of the angular positions of the strut
ends and the lengths of the other struts.
When a limit switch is activated, the power source of the motor is switched off to protect the
hexapod against damage from malfunctions.
