Compact servSD servo drive

Auto sales finally got back above pre-recession levels in 2014 with August sales reaching a seven-year high. After six long years, sales levels have matched 2007’s pace. More importantly, several research groups expect 2015 continue to grow. Today’s Motor Vehicles allows marketers direct access to this healthy industry with continued growth.

STXI Motion, a global motion control and servo solutions company, introduces the servSD ready-to-connect low-voltage servo drive, aimed at applications such as automated guided vehicles/autonomous mobile robots, electronics assembly, and medical equipment.

The servo drive offers high power density in a small footprint (106mm wide, 73.6mm deep, 40mm high) with near-motor mounting for applications with tight space constraints. With Safe Torque Off (STO) functional safety, the servSD meets the full range of safe operation requirements and can be connected to a master motion PLC or a modular safety controller.

The ready-to-connect drive doesn’t require pin soldering or cable adaptors, supports common motor feedback types including SSI, incremental, and BiSS, and uses real-time data exchange for higher levels of axis synchronization and safer modes of operation. A simple commissioning software with comprehensive parameterization options offers step-by-step guidance for motor setup, application configuration, and tuning.

The SD01-030 model offers a 24VDC input bus, 24VDC input logic, continuous current of 3 Arms, and peak current of 100Arms, while the SD01-025 model features a 48VDC input bus, 24VDC input logic, continuous current of 2 Arms, and peak current of 80Arms. The new servo drive is the latest in the company’s existing servo drive portfolio, which includes medium and high voltage drives for a wide range of applications.
