Product Description:

Kollmorgen is a well-regarded manufacturer of high-performance industrial equipment for use in motion control systems. The SMC-501 SMC Stepper Drive is one of their primary products is made to function well in challenging settings. This drive is perfect for a variety of motion control applications since it is designed for long-lasting reliability and effective performance.

The SMC-501 SMC Stepper Drive works within a voltage range of 16 to 32 VDC, with a current rating of 4A. This ensures that the drive can deliver stable and sufficient power to handle a variety of industrial stepper motor requirements. The drive comes with four programmable general-purpose inputs which provide flexibility for different control scenarios. Also, it has four programmable general-purpose outputs, plus one busy output which offers efficient monitoring and control capabilities. The internal control of the SMC-501 is protected by a 250V AC, 2A miniature glass tube fuse. This fuse helps prevent damage from electrical overloads which ensures controlled and effective operation. The drive is equipped with a timer controlled by a digital circuit for accurate timing management in motion control systems. The push button for start and stop functions is rated for 250V AC which offers a mechanical life of up to 250,000 cycles and an electrical life of 100,000 cycles.

The control relay for electromagnetic contactors in the SMC-501 has a good mechanical life of 30 million cycles and an electrical life of 100,000 cycles. The drive operates within a temperature range of -30℃ to +105℃ which offers flexibility for various industrial environments. The Kollmorgen SMC-501 SMC Stepper Drive is an exceptionally trustworthy industrial motion control solution. Its strong construction and adaptable qualities make it appropriate for complicated applications needing accuracy and consistent performance.
