Simple Servo Motor and Controller

For simple servo applications, QuickSilver offers the SilverDust IGF which features a compact DIN rail mountable design, 7 TTL level I/O (optional 24V with QCI-BO-B52), RS-232/485 serial interface, ASCII/Modbus protocol, and enough memory for several thousand lines of programming. Like the other SilverDust IG controller/drivers, the IGF comes with a built in regenerative braking circuit, single connector to motor, an on/off switch, and status LEDs.

A single cable connects between the controller and motor/encoder keeping costs down and making installation easy.

The controller will drive QuickSilver’s NEMA 17 and 23 frame servo motors which range from 20 to 300 oz-in continuous torque (0.14 to 2.1 N-m) and come standard with 8000 count/rev encoders.

The SilverDust IGF servo controller with a 4 foot (1.2m) cable and 145 oz-in (1 N-m) servo motor (QCI-A23K-3) costs only $895 (500 pcs $566) (USD).
