maxon ESCON 36/3 servo motor controller

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

A drift-free dynamic 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 be run in various operating modes. Operating mode examples are: as an open or closed loop speed controller or as a current controller. It is matched to maxon’s range of motors and thus allows dynamic drive solutions.

The servo controller has been designed specifically with easy start-up and user-friendliness in mind. Hence, no in-depth knowledge of drive technology is required. As far as the hardware is concerned, the ESCON 36/3 comes fully equipped with everything that is needed. For example, no additional external filters or motor chokes are required.

A wide range of input voltages and operating temperature allows for flexible use in almost all drive applications, in automation technology. It includes machine manufacturing, equipment engineering and mechatronics. With its  efficiency of 95%, the ESCON 36/3 offers solutions for mobile, highly efficient yet consumption-optimised applications.
