Product Description:

Bosch is a multinational engineering and electronics company. It delivers products for automotive, industrial and building technology applications. The company offers automation and control solutions tailored for efficient and safe operations across various sectors.

The SM 1.5/3-TCT Servo Drive Module operates on a 560 V DC link voltage and delivers 1.5 A continuous output current. Its peak current capacity reaches up to 3 A that enables short term overload handling. The unit requires an external DC link power supply for operation. Users should note that its internal capacitors may require up to five minutes to discharge down to 50 V for safety purposes. The module is designed in a rack mountable format and supports both vertical and horizontal mounting orientations. It features built in flange mounts for secure installation. Passive cooling is achieved through a heat sink that avoids active cooling requirements and reducing maintenance. The servo drive module is ideal for controlling single axis motion tasks within automation frameworks. The installation of this model must be performed by a trained professional.

The SM 1.5/3-TCT servo drive module is enclosed in a metallic casing equipped with ventilation slots for thermal dissipation and includes EMI shielding to minimize electrical interference. For connections, the module provides screw type terminal blocks designed for secure input/output and signal wiring. The use of screw terminals ensures firm and secure wiring under vibration or motion. It also includes a DB9 connector which serves as a serial or encoder interface that allows easy integration into automation systems. The combination of compact form, passive cooling and flexible mounting makes it suitable for various industrial drive systems. The module’s robust design ensures stability during continuous operation under standard load conditions.
