Includes devices for the analog and digital control of motor motion for many types of motors.
Motor Controls and Drives Categories
AC Motor Drives (838 suppliers)
AC motor drives interface controllers to AC motors. They match the control signals (voltage and power levels) as well as the signal type (analog or digital). They also provide power conversion, amplification, and the sequencing of waveform signals.
AC Motor Starters (375 suppliers)
AC motor starters are used to turn-on and turn-off electric motors and motor-controlled equipment. They use solid-state or electromechanical technologies, and are designed for single-phase or three-phase motors.
DC Motor Drives (775 suppliers)
DC motor drives act as the interface and power supply between a motion controller and a DC motor.
DC Motor Starters (192 suppliers)
DC motor starters combine a controller (most often a contactor) with overload protection, allowing a motor or motor-controlled equipment to be turned on and off.
Motion Control Systems (285 suppliers)
Motion control systems contain matched components such as controllers, motor drives, motors, encoders, user interfaces and software. Components in these systems are optimally matched by the manufacturer.
Motion Controllers (497 suppliers)
Motion controllers range from simple linear controllers to complex, user-programmable modules that act as controllers within complex integrated multi-axis motion systems.
Motor Contactors (310 suppliers)
Motor contactors are relays with large current capacity for connecting and disconnecting a motor from the power supply. Typically, motor contractors are multi-pole for control of all current carrying conductors.
Motor Controllers (796 suppliers)
Motor controllers receive supply voltages and provide signals to motor drives that are interfaced to motors. They include a power supply, amplifier, user interface, and position control circuitry.
Motor Speed Controllers (213 suppliers)
Motor speed controllers are electronic devices that control motor speed. They carry specifications for drive type, product classification, electrical ratings, and operating parameters.
Motor Starters and Contactors (714 suppliers)
Motor starters and contactors are motor-starting devices. They combine a contactor with overload protection and are designed for starting AC or DC motors.
Servo Drives (549 suppliers)
Servo drives provide electrical drive outputs to servo motors in closed-loop motion control systems where position feedback and corrective signals optimize position and speed accuracy.
Stepper Motor Drives (332 suppliers)
Stepper motor drives power unipolar and bipolar stepper motors in full step, half step, and microstep motion control applications.
