machdrives.com announces the release of the new low profile variant of our existing BRC series servo drive.

Rated at 20-150VDC input and 20A output, it is ideal for CNC mills, routers, lathes and plasma cutters. List price is AUD $169 (approx US$129)

This has all the same specifications of our standard BRC drive but with a reduced height of only 24.2mm (less than 1"). This allow installation in systems where space is at a premium.

While there are several other similar offerings in the market, the Machdrives BRC servo has some important differentiating features..

  • Lower heat generation. The combination of a switching regulator, power saving mode and an efficient MOSFET bridge means the drive can be screwed directly to the control cabinet wall in many applications, without requiring an additional heatsink.
  • More accurate tracking. Extending the traditional PID control with velocity feedforward, acceleration feedforward and stiction compensation eliminates tracking errors normally present on starting and acceleration.
  • Easier setup and tuning. Connection with a standard USB cable to the free Tuna for Windows application means easy setup without an oscilloscope. The 14 LED indicators show all signal and I/O pin status to streamline commissioning and troubleshooting.
