Introducing MDS: A New Family of Integrated AC Brushless Motors and Drives Available in NEMA 56C and IEC 80 B14 Frames

Mechatronics Systems introduces the MDS family of integrated AC brushless motors and drives, helping OEMs build smaller machines with less wiring and higher performance than traditional AC induction and DC permanent magnet variable-speed drives.

The MDS Series integrates a high-performance AC brushless motor and drive into one compact, space-saving package. Compared with traditional AC induction and DC brush motor systems of similar torque and power ratings, the MDS motor drive system delivers a smaller footprint, reduced wiring, and simplified installation. Its efficient integrated design provides enhanced performance over conventional AC induction motor and variable speed drive combinations. The MDS system also delivers servo-like control, providing full torque from zero speed and enabling precise motion control across a wide operating range.

The MDS motor drive system is an ideal replacement for DC brush motors and AC induction motors in both new and retrofit applications. It delivers the performance benefits of a brush motor while eliminating common drawbacks such as larger motor size, brush wear and maintenance, and reduced reliability in high-speed applications.

The MDS motor drive system is ideal for variable-speed DC motor and AC induction motor applications. Its compact, integrated design helps reduce machine footprint and wiring complexity while delivering high torque, energy-efficient operation, and precise low-speed velocity control.

The MDS motor drive system is well suited for a wide range of motion control and variable-speed applications, including smart conveyors, autonomous robotic vehicles, centrifuges, metering pumps, mixers, linear actuators, CNC spindles, and plastic molding machinery.
