Battery power support

It has a wide power supply voltage specification that allows it to be used with a battery power source. It supports DC24V and DC48V. The operating voltage range is as follows.

* For motors with electromagnetic brakes, it is DC22.8 to 32V.

Optimal current control for energy saving

It is equipped with a servo emulation mode that optimizes the current supplied to the motor according to the load conditions.

Visualization of power supply voltage

The driver’s power supply voltage can be monitored from a host control device.

When the driver’s power supply voltage falls below a preset threshold, it outputs a signal.

Application Examples

When installing in a self-propelled device

Equipment Issues	I want to extend the battery life as much as possible.
Solution with mini drivers	Reduce the total weight of the device Reduce the motor’s power consumption when large torque is not required

Lightweight design reduces strain on equipment

Reducing the mass of the device itself reduces the power consumption of the wheel drive shaft.

*Weight ranges from 84 to 110g for models other than AZD-KR2D.

When installing in a stationary device

Equipment Issues	You want to install drivers and control systems in separate locations to make the entire device smaller.
Solution with mini drivers	The compact driver can be installed in a variety of available spaces. Even if the distance between the motor and driver is long, the connection cable can be extended up to 10m
