Motion controller for small drives
New family member for the medium performance range
Faulhaber has another housing-less, compact motion controller in its range, which is particularly suitable for integration in device construction and medical technology applications. With 36 V and 3 A (peak current 9 A), it covers the power range up to approx. 100 W and is suitable for DC motors with encoders, brushless drives or linear motors.
Only together with the right motion controller do small and micro motors become a reliable drive system. The drive specialist Faulhaber therefore offers a wide range of motion controllers to complement its motor portfolio, which are designed in different performance classes with or without a housing for various areas of application. Now a further housing-less family member has been added: the MC3603, which with its compact dimensions is particularly suitable for integration in device construction and medical technology applications.
With 36 V and 3 A (peak current 9 A), it covers the medium power range up to approx. 100 W and is suitable for "normal" DC motors with encoders, brushless drives and linear motors. The I/O scope and encoder interfaces correspond to those of the entire family. USB, RS232, CANopen and EtherCAT are available for communication. The motion controller already contains the new firmware version "M". The latest update (version 6.9) of the Faulhaber Motion Manager is available for simple and convenient system setup.
EMC-compliant design
With the new MC 3603, the motion controllers now cover the entire range of applications typical for small and micro motors, from the postage stamp-sized MC 3001 with 30 W and 1 A (peak current 2 A) to the largest family member MC 5010 with 10 A (peak current 30 A), which is designed for control cabinet mounting and has proven itself in the industrial sector in particular. All motion controllers comply with the latest EMC regulations. Not only has the hardware been optimized accordingly, but the documentation has also been redesigned to provide users with the best possible support when certifying their own devices.
