Glentek offers the latest in high performance Linear Brush Servo Drives for the control of both DC brush servo motors and voice coil motors. With extensive utilization of surface mount technology and special heat transfer techniques, Glentek’s Linear Brush Servo Drives offer one of the world’s most powerful products for a given form factor. All models can operate in current (torque) or velocity (RPM) mode and accept a +/-10 VDC analog input as a command reference. All models can close the velocity loop via feedback of a DC tachometer. These drives are best suited for low inertia applications that require high bandwidth, low noise and zero crossover distortion and motors or voice coils which require high current loop bandwidths.
