Extended Environment Capabilities

Extended Environment products are designed to operate in harsh conditions including thermal and mechanical extremes. A generous selection of off-the-shelf servo drives include digital and analog designs with a variety of power ranges and feature sets.

Any application that subjects the servo drive to environmental extremes should be considered. In addition, designs that operate in more docile conditions can also take advantage. As an example, the ability of extended environment servo drives to operate at higher temperatures allows cooling systems such as heat sinks and fans to be reduced or completely eliminated, thus enabling engineers to make their designs more compact while maintaining or even improving overall reliability.
