The MM23011C-Q drive is a reliable and cost-effective solution for controlling your permanent magnet or shunt-wound DC motors in variable-speed applications. It uses SCRs to provide full-wave rectification of the AC line input. This dual voltage drive operates using 115 VAC or 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz,to operate 90 or 180 VDC SCR brush-type motors from 1/20 to 1/4 HP. Packaged in a compact footprint, this user-friendly drive possesses diagnostics and options to accommodate user needs. Users can minimize wiring problems by specifying the -Q option to make all wire connections to the screw terminals of a quick-connect removable terminal block.

Minarik Drives' MM23102D is the latest revision to its most popular line. This SCR drive is all dual voltage (115 or 230VAC) and in a NEMA 1 enclosure. This new series is more resilient to vibration than its predecessor and comes with another new feature, a user-selectable inhibit circuit. Now the user can adjust the function of the inhibit with jumper pins. The MM23102D drive now comes with LEDs to let the user know when the power is on (green) or if the motor has reached the current limit (red). For applications that require control of a DC motor in the 1/20 to 1/4 HP range, the MM23102D is an excellent solution.

For cost sensitive variable speed applications requiring outstanding performance, Minarik Drives offers the MM31751B SCR drive. This light-weight compact drive controls DC brush type motors ranging from 1/50 to 1/6 HP, without any additional components required. Reduced circuitry allows the cost to decrease significantly and also lends to a very compact package, ideal for original equipment manufacturers. A prewired removable terminal barrier eliminates nearly half of the wiring required for other drives. Using full-wave rectification of the AC line input, these SCR drives provide a moderate 20:1 speed range. The MM31751B drive has a speed potentiometer rigidly mounted to an L-bracket on the circuit board.

Reduced circuitry allows the cost to decrease significantly and also lends to a very compact package, ideal for original equipment manufacturers. A prewired removable terminal barrier eliminates nearly half of the wiring required for other drives. Using full-wave rectification of the AC line input, these SCR drives provide a moderate 20:1 speed range.

The MMRG31U is one of the smallest full-wave four-quadrant drives on the makert today. This full-featured, compact drive matches brush-type DC motors ranging from 1/20 to 2HP. The MMRG31U provides all the performance of a full size, four quadrant, regenerative variable speed drive and has our popular MM footprint (3.72 X 4.42). This drive will maintain motor speed with smooth motoring and braking torque and allow high-duty cycle reversing and braking. It has an adjustable current limit, 1% of base speed regulation and can regulate within a 50:1 speed range (open loop).

Minarik's C1RGD10-D230AC is our low-cost solution for NEMA 1 reversing and regenerative applications. The dual AC input voltage drive not only brakes and reverses brush motors on the fly, but also has more features than any other regenerative drive we have manufactured before. The C1RGD10-D230AC has the following operators conveniently mounted on the front panel: power on/off switch, run/brake switch, forward/reverse switch and speed potentiometer. Calibrating the C1RGD10-D230AC is easy with the on-board trimmer pots. The deadband setting is automatically compensated for whether 50 or 60Hz power is used. Some additional options is the PCM4 option to add isolation, the DLC600 for digital control or the 200-0386A for limit switch control. If the applicaiton demands high performance in a NEMA 1 enclosure, the C1RGD10-D230AC is the answer.

Minarik Drives has always been a leader in providing low cost PWM motor controls. With the MMXL10-D240AC, we have done it once again, by taking a full-featured PWM drive and reduced it down to the standard MM footprint (4.30 X 3.64). The MMXL10-D240AC has all the features of the larger XL Series, where the speed can be controlled with an isolated 0-5 VDC signal and many drives can be inhibited with a single contact closure. The auto-ranging power supply allows the user to apply 120 or 240VAC without adjusting any switches. The full-featured MMXL10-D240AC is one of the smallest PWM drives on the market today!

Minarik's C1RGD03-D230AC is our low-cost solution for NEMA 1 reversing and regenerative applications. The dual AC input voltage drive not only brakes and reverses brush motors on the fly, but also has more features than any other regenerative drive we have manufactured before.

Minarik Drives has always been a leader in providing low cost PWM motor controls. With the MMXL02-D240AC-PCM, we have done it once again by taking a full-featured PWM drive and reduced it down to the standard MM footprint (4.30 X 3.64). Not only did we keep all the features of the larger XL Series, but we even added optical isolation to the speed circuit and the inhibit circuit in the -PCM model. This means that the speed can be controlled with any 0-5 VDC signal and many drives can be inhibited with a single contact closure. The auto-ranging power supply allows the user to apply 120 or 240VAC without adjusting any switches. The full-featured MMXL02-D240AC-PCM is one of the smallest PWM drives on the market today!

Specifically designed for the original equipment manufacture (OEM), the XP02-115AC DC motor speed drive provides high performance at a low cost. This drive is well suited for XL series drive candidates who do not need all of its features. The XP02-115AC takes an AC line input,rectifies it and filters the output to create a DC bus that is chopped by pulse-width-modulation (PWM) circuitry to provide nearly pure DC power to the motor. The result is a form factor of 1.05 or less throughout the entire 80:1 speed range; compared to a 1.37 form factor from standard unfiltered SCR dirves. The near unity form factor results in smooth, quiet, cool and low maintenance motor operation. In addition, the low form factor allows drives to operate lower voltage motors without additional circuitry. The XP02-115AC drive is versatile and can accept any AC voltage between 70 and 130VAC and contain a unipolar power supply, which enables the drive to accept DC (100-160VDC); unlike typical transformer-coupled drives. Depending on your application needs, this drive will provide speed control for motors ranging from 1/20 through 1/6 HP.

The RG501A is a dual voltage full-featured regen drive with a field supply in a rugged enclosure. This high performance drive maintains motor speed with automatic motoring and braking torque, while allowing high-duty cycle reversing and braking. The RG501A has conveniently mounted operators, which include a power on/off switch and separate forward and reverse speed potentiometers so independent speeds for each direction are easily set. Controlling the motor is easy too, by pressing a button on the membrane panel for stop, run, reverse or jog (jog speed is adjustable). The user can also wire in remote pushbuttons in conjunction with the on-board buttons. Included and wired into the RG501A package is our limit switch logic board (200-0386A). This mini-PLC can operate in one of nine modes between limit switches including continuous cycling, single cycle, dwell and more--including adjustable stop and dwell times!

The DC60-12/24 PWM drive was designed for applications running from a DC power supply or DC battery power. This drive provides continuous current ratings and higher bus capacitance (to better handle ripple currents) than competitive units. The DC60-12/24 is ideal for many types of portable equipment, especially battery-powered equipment due to its ability to maintain variable speed control as the battery discharges. This results in an overall increase in running time of the equipment. With a 150% overload capacity, an inhibit function for remote starting and stopping, a power LED and non-interactive trimmer pots, the DC60-12/24DC stands out among the many DC input drive options.
