The SPM Series SPM100-3-PT3 offers a straightforward approach to speed control in machine designs where space and simplicity are critical. This model provides full-wave DC voltage similar to more advanced drives but at a reduced cost by eliminating unnecessary features. With the ability to operate on both 115 VAC and 230 VAC input types, it is capable of controlling 90 VDC motors effectively.Notably, this unit accommodates power ratings from 1/8 to 1/4 HP, making it suitable for various applications requiring basic speed management. Additionally, the design allows for the integration of speed potentiometers directly onto control panels, facilitating easier adjustments and installation.

The PMB Series PMB743-5.5-STL represents a significant advancement in PWM control technology tailored for brushed DC motors. Capable of operating with input voltages of either 115 or 230 VAC, this model facilitates output voltages ranging from 0 to 180 VDC. The innovative PWM technology ensures a cleaner output voltage compared to traditional SCR circuitry, enabling cooler operation at both high and low speeds.Additionally, the regenerative control feature permits reversing the motor on-the-fly without requiring contacts on the motor armature. This design choice enhances operational flexibility, particularly in high inertia applications, where integrated dump circuitry negates the need for separate accessory cards and external relays.A built-in microprocessor provides customization options for OEMs, allowing for modifications ranging from simple jumper adjustments to complex programming of routines tailored to specific applications. This capability can either eliminate the necessity for an independent PLC or augment existing systems lacking PLC functionality.Compliance with the 61800-5-1 Standard and UL listing in both the US and Canada further underscores the reliability of the PMB Series, which also features isolation for remote control using analog signals.

The ACT Series drive, specifically model ACT400-10, offers a cost-effective solution for controlling single-phase AC motors such as permanent split capacitor (PSC), shaded pole, synchronous, and universal motors. This drive utilizes variable voltage with a constant frequency, which is particularly suitable for applications with a limited speed range.One notable feature of this drive is its ability to maintain approximately constant pressure in filtered fan applications. As filters become obstructed, the motor dynamically adjusts its speed to uphold airflow, ensuring optimal performance. Additionally, the ACT400-10 incorporates an internal closed-loop circuit that stabilizes motor voltage during fluctuations in AC line conditions, such as sags or swells.This model also accepts feedback through a thermistor or voltage signal, enabling the creation of a PI loop for enhanced control. The ACT Series drive is equipped with a chassis enclosure and supports input voltages of 115 and 230 VAC, with a maximum current of 10 AAC.

The PWP Series PWP100-2-QDT provides an economical and compact solution for applications utilizing Pulse Width Modulation technology. The nearly pure DC voltage output enhances the operational efficiency of permanent magnet DC motors, resulting in quieter and cooler performance. This model features a 1.05 form factor of the DC output, which extends the lifespan of motor brushes and increases torque across the entire speed range. Users can easily calibrate the controller through a comprehensive set of adjustments, including Maximum Speed, Current Limit, and IR Compensation. It is capable of accommodating motors ranging from 1/100 to 1 HP. Due to the advantages of PWM over traditional SCR technology, the PWP100-2-QDT is an optimal choice for applications focused on prolonging motor life. This unit operates within an input voltage range of 115 VAC and provides an adjustable output voltage between 0 to 90 VDC, with a maximum current rating of 2 ADC.
