For example, the motors that drive the wheels on mobile robots need a lot of current to generate high torque, but the voltage available from the robot’s batteries is often just 12 VDC. AMC’s AZ series of board-mount servo drives is expanding to meet exactly these kinds of needs.

AMC AZ40 Servo DriveThe AZ series is designed to drive brushed and brushless servo motors. To increase system reliability and to reduce cabling costs, the drive is designed for direct integration into your PCB. The drive interfaces with digital controllers that have analog +/-10V output. It requires only a single unregulated isolated DC power supply, and is fully RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) compliant.

The drive is available with peak current capability up to 40 A and continuous current up to 20 A. It supports voltages from 10 to 80 VDC. Options are available for torque control and velocity control with hall or encoder feedback.
