TRINAMIC Motion Control GmbH & Co. KG  announced the TMCM-1617 single-axis servo controller module designed for servo drives with 18A RMS and 8 to 28V DC supply voltage.

Achieving high-current loop frequencies to minimize current ripple, the potted module enables smaller electric drives with high dynamics, according to the company. The TMCM-1617 also supports a range of encoders for position feedback, including incremental encoders, analog encoders, and digital hall sensors as position feedback. 

According to the company, the TMCM-1617 completed a highly accelerated life test (HALT) with operational temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C and mechanical vibrations of up to 30 GRMS.

Features and benefits:

• Servo drive for 3-phase BLDC motors
• 8V to 28V DC supply voltage
• Up to 18A RMS motor current
• RS485, CAN and EtherCAT interfaces
• CANopen and TMCL protocol
• Incremental and analog encoder feedback
• Digital HALL sensor feedback
• Reference Switch Inputs
• Cooling via aluminum housing
• L/W/H: 36.8mm x 26.8mm x 11.1mm
• Weight: ca. 24g

The drive can be configured for soldering to a custom baseboard. Trinamic also offers customization of the TMCM-1617 carrier board or integration services to meet application-specific designs. The TMCM-1617 is now available through Trinamic's distribution channels.
