CQ36 series

Coreless Current Sensor with ΣΔ Digital Output - Optimized for AC Servo Amplifiers and Robots

Significantly Reduces Heat Generation and Contributes to System Miniaturization

CQ36 series CQ36 series

Overview

  • Digital ΣΔ output
  • Low resistance
  • Low noise

The CQ36 contributes to: 

  • System miniaturization
  • Low heat generation
  • Precise torque control of robots

The CQ36 series has a built-in ΣΔ modulator that can replace both shunt resistor + isolated ADC a single component.

It is highly compatible with AC servo amplifiers and robots while contributing to system miniaturization.

Features

1. System downsizing

The current sensor and ΣΔ modulator are integrated into a single package. 

System downsizing can be achieved by omitting the necessary parts required for the conventional solution with a shunt resistor and an isolated ADC. 

No isolated power supply is required on the high-voltage side.

2. Low heat generation

AKM has developed a unique package to achieve a low primary conductor resistance of 0.27mΩ.

Compared to shunt resistors, this reduces heat generation, making thermal design easier.

3. Precise Torque control for AC servo amplifiers and robots

A low noise performance is achieved by leveraging the high sensitivity of compound Hall elements. This contributes to the precise torque control required for AC servo amplifiers and robots.

Applications

  • AC Servo amplifiers
  • Multi-axis robots
  • Collaborative Robots
  • Well-suited for applications requiring isolation, reduced heat generation, and system miniaturization.
    (Example: Suitable as a replacement for shunt + isolated ADC configurations.)
