Product Description

Bosch Rexroth’s drive and motion control units rank high among many users of factory automation products. This is due to their high performance and efficiency. The HCS drive converters by the established manufacturer are used in food and packaging machines, printing machines, and machine tools.

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-B-ET-EC-EP-S4-NN-FW is one of the compact drive converters in the HCS series designed and manufactured by Bosch Rexroth. It has an IP 20 Ingress Protection rating in line with EN 60529, indicating that it is dustproof and safe from the penetration of solid external materials over 12mm. This HCS model allows users to select the most suitable encoders for their applications as it has a multi-encoder interface that is compatible with the most common encoder types. They include the sin-cos encoder (1 Vpp) with Hiperface, the MSK motor encoder, the sin-cos encoder (1 Vpp) with EnDat 2.1, the MS2N motor encoder, and the sin-cos encoder (1 Vpp) with reference track. These encoders have supply voltages of 5V and 12V.

Forced air cooling is the mechanism for heat dissipation from the HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-B-ET-EC-EP-S4-NN-FW. This cooling takes place within the control cabinet where the drive converter is easily mounted thanks to its compact size. Since its mounting corresponds with the G1 style, natural convection supports the forced cooling air current and prevents the generation of pockets of heat. The control sections for the HCS model are those in the BASIC range and it supports the use of firmware. Allowed switching frequencies for this unit are 4kHz, 8kHz, 12kHz, and 16kHz, while its maximum permissible current is 18A. It requires a three-phase AC mains voltage between 110V and 230V for operation.
