CENTROID CNC controls can be ordered with AC brushless servo motors. The new CENTROID AC/DC drive can power AC brushless servo motors with ratings of up to 4kW or 30 amps continuous output. Popular on production machines where very high rapid rates are desired and on large machines which require high torque axis motors. The AC/DC drive can be used to run exisitng AC brushless servo motor when upgrading an existing CNC control saving money and installation time. Some motors will require an encoder upgrade. learn more here..

CENTROID stocks 750W, 1kW, 2kW , 3KW, and 4kW AC brushless servo motors. Click here for servo motor dimensions.

The CENTROID AC/DC drive can power AC brushless servo motors (or large DC motors, hence the name AC/DC drive) with ratings of up to 4kW or 30 amps continuous output. Up to 8 axis can be controlled similtaneously.

AC Brushless servo motors run at a higher voltage than do DC servo motors. This allows them to output both more power and speed for a given physical size. For example: An AC motor that is about the same size as a DC servo motor will have approximately double the power and max rpm as the DC motor. A machine tool equipped with AC servo motors will rapid position two to three times faster than a DC servo motor-equipped machine tool. In addition to higher performance, AC Brushless servo motors do not have brushes or commutators to wear out. Less moving parts = higher reliability.
