MDS Integrated Motor-Drive

MDS (MOTOR DRIVE SYSTEM) - INTEGRATED AC BRUSHLESS MOTOR AND DRIVE IN A SINGLE NEMA 56 PACKAGE
Mechatronics Systems Developed the MDS Family to Meet the Growing Market Demand for Integrated Variable Speed Motor Drives
The MDS combines a high-performance motor and drive in a single, compact package. The MDS family of integrated variable speed motor drives offers a significantly smaller footprint compared to AC induction or DC brush motors of the same power output.
The MDS outperforms the traditional AC induction motor and variable speed inverter combination due to its superior efficiency. It delivers exceptional energy efficiency, enhanced torque, and high performance even at low speeds.
Mechatronics Systems MDS is the top choice for replacing DC brush motors and AC induction motors in both new and existing applications. The MDS family delivers the performance of a brush motor while eliminating common brush motor issues such as large size, frequent maintenance, and limited high-speed operation.
Our MDS is ideal for variable speed DC and AC induction motor applications and processes. For new applications, you'll benefit from its small footprint, easy wiring, high torque, energy efficiency, and excellent low-speed velocity control.
Smart conveyors, robotic vehicles, centrifuges, metering pumps, mixers, linear actuators, small power CNC spindles, and plastic moldings—our integrated variable speed servo motor drives are ideal for these applications and more.
