FAULHABER MC3001 motion controllers

Click2Contact

FAULHABER has released its latest motion controllers, available as part of MC V3.0 generation for the lower end of the performance spectrum.

The MC3001 controllers are unhoused units and can control DC micromotors, linear DC servomotors or brushless DC motors in the FAULHABER product line from 6 to 30 mm diameter by utilising an integrated output stage.

The controllers are small but powerful for their size. The flexibility to integrate them is suitable for robotics, automation, machine construction, medical devices and laboratory technology — especially where limited space is available but high control dynamics and high performance are required.

There are two variants: MC3001 B, which can be plugged into a motherboard with a board-to-board connector; and MC3001 P, which can be plugged into a motherboard via a 28-pin plug connector.

The product can deliver 1.4 A in continuous operation and up to 5 A peak current. It offers good EMC behaviour (certified by external laboratories) and is compact, with a height from 2.6 mm and a format from 16 x 27 mm.

The controllers feature MC V3.0 generation interfaces (RS232 and CANopen) and encoder interfaces as well as an intelligent driver module, suitable for installation in customer-specific applications. Full thermal protection of the motors is enabled with the integrated thermal models and by means of the high PWM frequency.

To help customers quickly and easily get to work on the development of their drive system, FAULHABER offers a starter kit that includes, among other things, a motherboard and makes it easier to get started.
