June 5, 2015 - AutomationDirect releases IronHorse GSD1 series high-performance Pulse-Width-Modulated (PWM) controllers for 12 to 48 volt equipment.
Ideal for applications such as auger feeders, automated door actuators, commercial cooking equipment, food production, industrial pumping systems and more, the design permits a substantial increase in equipment running time between charges over conventional techniques.
GSD1 series DC drives are available in 10A (1/8 to 1/2 HP motor rating) and 20A (1/4 to 1 HP motor rating) versions. New models available include 48V powered units. Additional features include adjustable maximum speed, minimum speed, current limit, I.R. compensation, and acceleration.
The adjustable current-limit feature protects the control, battery, and motor from sustained overloads.
Starting at $115, GSD1 series DC drives are available in open-frame and NEMA 4X enclosed styles, and all come standard with a speed pot, knob, and dial plate; optional accessories including a replacement speed potentiometer kit and digital speed potentiometer are also available.
GSD1 series DC drives are RoHS compliant and are backed with a one-year warranty.
