DC Offline Servo Drive for Extreme Environmental Conditions

The most compact, PCB-mounted servo drive that operates directly from the mains (up to 400 VDC or 750 VDC power source) and delivers up to 7 kW of continuous qualitative power

The Panther is a new addition to Elmo’s ExtrIQ product suite - intelligent digital servo drives for sinusoidal, trapezoidal and DC motors that are designed to operate under extreme environmental conditions.

This servo drive is PCB-mounted and it provides top performance, coupled with intelligent networking capabilities in a high level programming environment.

A Feature-rich Solution

The Panther is truly feature-rich, combining high power density, programming flexibility, CANopen networking and numerous motion control features, resulting in a very effective solution for a wide variety of challenging applications.

There are two single DC bus options: 80 – 400 VDC and 200 – 750 VDC, with a built-in smart supply for controlling the back-up capabilities. The Panther can also operate with a 24 VDC auxiliary power supply for the back-up features.
