March 15, 2010 - Servo2Go.com announced DZ, µ-sized servo drives requiring less space than a standard business card and weighing about the same as two golf balls. DZs take up little space, eliminate wiring hassle and still deliver unparalleled performance.Providing 10-80 Vdc operation while delivering 12 A continuous/20 A peak current, DZ Series can be configured to operate in torque, velocity and position modes for brushed, voice coil or brushless motors. Units deliver up to 1 kW continuous power when needed and can achieve up to 98% efficiency.
Supporting CANopen and RS-232/485 up to 1 Mbaud, drives accept variety of input commands including PVT, ±10 V analog, Encoder Following, Step and Direction, and PWM and Direction.Features:
- Considered µ-sized, DZs have an incredibly small footprint (smaller than a business card) and weigh a mere 100 grams or less, including heat sink.
- All DZs can be configured to operate in torque, velocity (encoder or Hall) and position modes for brushed, voice coil or brushless motors.
- DZs have extremely high current loop bandwidth for quick response times as needed or when used in critical or demanding applications.
- DZ networks include CANopen or RS-232/485 (up to 1 Mbaud).
- Some DZ's capacity includes 10 - 80 Vdc operation while delivering 12 Amps continuous / 20 Amps peak.
- DZ's common PCB pin out platform allows OEMs to design to any power capacity but choose from the smallest power size to largest power size, everything from today's available products to even higher powered future release versions.
- With multiple product choices, implementing DZ's increased product functionality to meet many application needs will result in a dramatic reduction of system complexity.
- As more applications require smaller mounting spaces or become completely mobile, designing with DZs would be the perfect match and choice.
Input commands can come over the network, such as PVT (position/velocity/time) or through direct inputs for: ±10V analog, Encoder Following, Step & Direction, PWM & Direction - to operate any mode.
This provides up to 1 kW continuous power when needed and can achieve up to 98% efficiency.
DZs have an optional mounting card available for quick prototyping and documented interface reference designs for quick circuit integration.
Yet, DZs are also cost-effective by themselves to further minimize overall system costs.
