LDU-S1

The LDU-S1 is a low power brushed linear servo amplifier in a Eurocard 3U form factor. It is ideally suited to "stand alone" torque or velocity control applications or for position control if used with a motion controller and position feedback device. When configured for torque control, the amplifier operates as a voltage controlled current source. When configured for velocity control, the amplifier operates as a voltage controlled voltage source. If configured for velocity control, the amplifier can be further configured to accept a tachometer feedback signal for improved motor response, low speed smoothness and velocity accuracy.

The LDU-S1 has simple potentiometer adjustments for Signal Gain, Tachometer Gain, System Response, Balance, and Current Limit and a plug in Personality Component Carrier to allow customized component changes for the peak current and loop compensation parameters. The unit includes an Amp Enable input and enabled indicator LED. The amplifier also has over current limiting and RMS current shutdown circuitry. The LDU-S1 has numerous advantages over PWM type amplifiers including minimum motor heating, increased brush life and the ability to drive zero inductance loads.
