Special care for motors and actuators!
4 Jul 2006
Small PM motors or linear actuators need careful control in order to give long life and reliability.
The new remedy is from Curtis Instruments - a world leader in DC control systems - and pleased to reveal two tiny solutions with the launch of the 1211 and the 1224 microprocessor based MOSFET controllers.
The 1211 is a full quadrant 24V DC fully sealed unit that can supply up to 25Amps peak current. If that is too much power then simply plug in to your PC (with the Curtis 1314 interface kit) and adjust the programmable parameters. Besides current limit, maximum speed, acceleration and braking rates are all adjustable. Installation is made simple with a two bolt fix and pre-attached cables with connectors to reduce assembly time.
Model 1224 is a 12V unit offering single direction control. However it can still deliver up to 40Amps peak and exceeds ISO7176 requirements The 1224 also has a rugged metal enclosure (IP54), and boasts notable features such as power save, HPD and reverse supply protection.
