Description

Woodward BL20-400 I/O Module

Product Dimensions：

The Woodward BL20-400 is a high-performance Brushless DC (BLDC) motor controller (or driver) primarily designed for precision control in aerospace, defense, and demanding industrial applications. It is part of Woodward’s specialty motion control line, known for high power density and reliability in harsh environments.

1. Product Detailed Description

The BL20-400 is an integrated servo drive designed to provide high-torque and precise speed control for brushless motors. It utilizes advanced PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology to manage power delivery efficiently. The “400” typically refers to its voltage or power class capability within the series, tailored for systems requiring a compact footprint without sacrificing performance.

2. Technical Parameters (Typical)

Note: Specific values can vary based on the exact sub-model or custom configuration.

3. Product Advantages

• High Power Density: Delivers significant torque and power output relative to its very small physical size.

• Ruggedized Design: Built to withstand high vibration, mechanical shock, and extreme thermal cycling.

• Precision Control: Advanced algorithms ensure smooth motion, low torque ripple, and rapid response times.

• EMI/EMC Compliance: Designed to meet strict electromagnetic interference standards (e.g., MIL-STD-461), making it safe for sensitive electronic environments.

4. Key Applications

The BL20-400 is found in systems where failure is not an option:

• Aerospace & Defense: Actuation systems for UAVs (drones), wing flap controls, and gimbal stabilization.

• Robotics: High-torque robotic arms and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

• Medical Equipment: High-end surgical robotics and diagnostic imaging motion systems.

• Space Systems: Satellite antenna positioning and solar array deployment.

5. Usage Precautions

• Thermal Management: While efficient, the unit generates heat at high current. Ensure it is mounted to a proper cold plate or heat sink.

• Polarity Protection: Always verify wiring polarity before powering up; reverse polarity can cause permanent internal damage.

• Shielding: Use shielded cables for feedback signals (encoders/Hall sensors) to prevent noise interference from the high-power PWM lines.

• Firmware Configuration: Ensure the current limits and PID gains are correctly tuned for your specific motor to prevent overheating or mechanical oscillation.
