Find the right drive in five questions

Answer five questions and you get a starting model with the parameters that matter for it. This is the same reasoning I go through with a customer on a call — the difference is you do not have to wait for my reply to get the first cut of an answer.

This is the single most useful question. Force control only earns its cost on a contact application.

If several axes must move together, or the safety case needs STO, that answer is EtherCAT.

If the answer is anything other than the middle row, the wide-temperature DG family is the correct choice - the UF platform is 0 to +45 °C only.

If you are not sure, say so - the motor nameplate has it, and I can work it out from the motor model instead.

Your starting point

This is a starting point, not a finished selection. A drive also depends on the motor inertia, the mechanical ratio, the duty cycle and the deceleration profile. Two applications with identical answers above can still need different models. If you send me the motor model and the stroke or payload, I will give you the exact part.

Ask me directly

Everything above is self-service. When you want a written answer, a quotation or a datasheet for your specific configuration, it comes to one person:
