Product Description
The Nidec brushless DC motion control system is an integrated, variable-speed brushless DC
motor and control package. This system includes a low voltage customer interface that can be
connected to a system controller or connected to an external potentiometer, forward/reverse
switch, run/stop switch, or other user I/O. The motor is equipped with a triple-fixed preloaded
ball bearing system and multiple mounting arrangements. The system also includes internal
current limiting, and under voltage protection for system safeguarding.
Two channel encoder signals are available to close system loop internally or externally. The
encoder also permits the user to determine speed and direction of the motor. A Tachometer
signal is also accessible for a low cost alternative to the encoder.
The integrated motor control includes a power amplifier designed to operate directly from a DC
voltage input of 12 to 36 volts. The power amplifier contains an inverter and an optional low
