LAPP EPIC M23P A3 Quickflex circular connector

The EPIC M23P A3 Quickflex circular connector is designed for voltages of up to 1000 V and can be used directly on the servomotor.

Servomotors are used wherever high-precision drives are required. As they enable the exact control of angular positions, speed and acceleration, they are particularly useful in industrial automation, eg, controlling axes in CNC machines, robots and conveyor belts — but they are also deployed in production or the automotive industry. Reliable, robust connection solutions are required in these applications to supply motors with energy and withstand demanding industrial environments.

LAPP already has connection and control cables as well as servo assemblies that are specifically suitable for use on servomotors. With the rotatable EPIC M23 Power angle socket, its new connector is designed for direct connection to the servomotor, including signal transmission — especially in harsh environments where electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is required.

The rotatable and angled M23 motor connector has a Quickflex quick-locking system that makes it easy to connect to the mating part. Locking takes place after one-eighth of a turn and can be plugged in with market standard connectors. The EPIC M23P A3 Quickflex features the new Clean Design from LAPP and achieves protection class IP 68 when plugged in, making it easy to clean. The rotatable outlet on the motor allows an adjustable, defined outlet angle, offering flexibility when connecting.

The connector can be used at altitudes of up to 5000 m. Its die-cast zinc housing gives it stability, while the reinforced wall thickness makes it more robust mechanically and less sensitive to shock and vibrations — even with constant load changes. Its shorter housing lends it to robot applications where every millimetre counts, while the installation space for assembly remains the same. The connector can also be used with the coloured marking rings of the EPIC M23P series. This colour coding of LAPP connectors helps identify different axes and can act as a CI colour element for motor manufacturers.
