maxon current and speed controllers

Just set the speed.

Your motor needs speed, not position? The DEC modules control BLDC motors with Hall sensors up to 250 W.

DEC modules

Ideal for simple speed control applications.

Cost-effective 1-quadrant servo drives with a modular design. Plug the module onto your board and connect the motor: nothing to install, nothing to program.

  • Available operating modes:
    Speed controller (closed loop) or speed controller (open loop)
  • Command functions:
    Analog and digital signals
  • Configuration:
    Fixed settings selectable via I/O
  • Safety: 
    Protection against overcurrents (blocking), excess temperatures as well as undervoltages and overvoltages 

DEC modules: key information at a glance.

Two modules, two power classes: DEC Module 24/2 for 24 V and 2 A continuous output current, DEC Module 50/5 for 50 V and 5 A.

ESCON2

Looking for ESCON2?

ESCON2 now also positions via CANopen and has therefore moved to positioning controllers. Without a bus, it still works as a current and speed controller via analog and digital I/O.

Looking for ESCON? ESCON products remain available in the shop. For new designs, we recommend ESCON2.
