μSA-X Servo Drive

The 5th Generation of PWM Servo Amplifiers from Motion Control Systems sees the introduction of the μSA-X series, a new product line that further miniaturizes the drive. This series is truly designed from the ground up to maximize reliability while minimizing size for those direct DC applications ranging from 20 - 360 VDC, and where high power/current output is still required. Modular, feature rich options allow the user to configure a solution that is optimized for their end application resulting in a high performance drive solution in a cost effective manner. MCS drive systems are field proven in a wide variety of servo/axis, spindle and other demanding high performance applications.

μSA-X Series Feature Highlights

  • Standard Interfaces: RS232, ±10V Analog, Sin/Sin+120
  • Commutation Types: 6-step, MCS HED TrueSine, Incremental Encoders Optional Commutation Inputs1: Resolver, Sensorless Commutation Outputs1: Encoder Simulation (ABI single-ended)
  • Adjustable PWM Frequencies up to & including 25kHz
  • Selectable Torque or Velocity Mode Control
  • DC Bus (Direct DC Input) & External Regen Load Resistor Terminals
