T3-header

T3 Servo Drive

The T3 delivers full-featured servo performance in a package under 3 inches in diameter. Its compact design integrates easily into small motor housings and supports operation in air or pressure-balanced, oil-filled (PBOF) environments. Based on Motion Control Systems’ sixth-generation PWM platform, the T3 features a fully digital architecture with on-the-fly tuning of current, speed, and position control loops.
