Maxon motor ESCON 36/3 servo controller

The ESCON 36/3 from maxon motor allows the set-up of drive systems using Hall sensor feedback (no encoder necessary), without waiving 4-quadrant operation capabilities. It is designed for efficient control of brushless DC motors with Hall sensors up to approximately 100 W.

The unit features a fast digital current controller with an large bandwidth for optimal motor current/torque control. The drift-free speed behaviour enables a speed range of 0 to 150,000 rpm. The controller provides a wide range of functions with fully configurable digital and analog inputs and outputs and can run in various operating modes including speed controller (closed loop), speed controller (open loop) and current controller.

The servo controller has been designed specifically with easy start-up and user-friendliness in mind, requiring no in-depth knowledge of drive technology by the user. The ESCON 36/3 requires no additional external filters or motor chokes.
