DC Servo Drives

DC Servo Drives are servo drives that are powered from DC voltage. While the voltage is often at a low level, for example 48V or 100V, there are applications where a central power supply is used to provide high level DC voltage to the servo drives. Servotronix has proven experience in developing high and low voltage servo drives. A collection of our DC servo drives can be viewed below

 

  • Pitch Control Drive

    Pitch Control Drive is designed to be installed in sets of three, within a wind turbine hub in order to control the pitch of the blades. The drive operates in either position, velocity or torque mode. The drive can receive Analog commands or CANopen® commands from the Pitch Control system. The product interfaces two feedback devices (dual-feedback) to enhance control accuracy due to motor’s gearing. During its normal operation the drive monitors and charges the external (to the drive) capacitor’s bank which is used during shut-down scenarios to perform a controlled move of the blade to its neutral position. The proposed Pitch Control Drive is very cost effective.

  • PicoDAD - Dual Axis Low Voltage Drive

    The PicoDAD is a dual-axis low-voltage drive. Incorporating two independent servo drives, this revolutionary product saves space on your machine and lowers the system cost by utilizing shared components. The PicoDAD operates on 48VDC for the Bus power, and separate 24VDC for Logic power. Separation of Bus and Logic power allows bus power control to be incorporated into the machine safety chain, while not losing application information or real-time monitoring data during E-stop events. Each axis is capable of individually sourcing 10A RMS continuous and 20A RMS peak to the motor.

  • XDC - 6 Axis DC Brush Motor Driver

    The XDC is a 6-axis servo amplifier designed to work with DC brush servomotors. Each axis is independent, and can be set up to do velocity or position control on the motor. Communication with the amplifier and control of the functionality and the motion is via RS-232 serial communications.

    Each axis can be set up in Position or Velocity mode. In the Velocity Mode, a JOG instruction will cause the motor to be rotated at a constant speed as defined by the user. In Position Mode, point-to-point incremental or absolute position is commanded based on acceleration, deceleration and cruise velocity parameters. Various Homing options are supported as well.
