Z-Drives family - Plug-In Servo Drives

Compact design delivers performance comparable to larger drives. Designed to be PCB embedded for demanding OEM equipment. No wires and smaller size = less cost and easier installation - just plug'm in!

By utilizing dual sided PCB boards, high efficiency power devices and creative design we are able to make the Z-Drives possible. Do you wish the Z-Drives were available on your last project? Want them for your next project?

These servo drives are some of our most popular!

PCB mountable drives started out as a customer request, but when we realized the inherent value and flexibility, we decided to expand the Z-Drive family to be a universal solution. Imagine hooking up a servo drive with no wires! Just incorporate the Z-Drives into your PCB machine design and you will have an unbeatable motion control solution.

When Size Matters: Do you have small space requirements? The footprints of most AZ and DZ series are so small that 3 of them can fit in the same area of a U.S. dollar bill.  In fact, a standard business card requires more area than do the drives!

Weight: Do you have system weight issues? The lowest powered AZ product weigh less than two golf balls where the highest available power DZ series drives weigh less than three!  This power density combination is unmatched when your system requirements must be lightweight and reliable.

Capabilities: Want a lot more for a whole lot less? Z-Drives have a range of robust solutions to meet every design need. Choose from various networks, multiple command inputs, dedicated operating modes, wide power ranges or analog/digital architectures.  Z-Drives are equipped to ease your integration with the benefit of reduced wiring, allowing you to bring your product to market faster.

Power When and Where You Need It: Do drives need to physically be big to provide output? Accommodating both small and large system designs,  the continuous to peak output power range for the AZ and DZ series of drives cover less than 10 Watts on the low end to over 4.0 kWatts at the high end.  Now that's power.

Z-Drives are already used in critical applications where high performance and accuracy are essential for success. These versatile drives can be found in the following applications (to name a few): Robotics Actuators Transfer Lines Packaging Machines Unmanned Vehicles Machining Centers Medical Devices ...and many others!   We look forward to being your preferred motion control partner.
