Current & Speed Controllers South Africa

maxon ESCON2 and ESCON are compact 4-quadrant servo controllers for brushed DC and BLDC motors up to 1,800 W continuous power, built for demanding power and speed accuracy and straightforward to commission. For simple speed control of BLDC motors with Hall sensors, the modular 1-Q DEC amplifiers offer an excellent price-performance ratio.

maxon ESCON and EPOS4 controller families are also fully compatible with Parvalux PMDC and BLDC motors. Contact DNH for selection guidance.

Parvalux: Current & Speed Controllers

Parvalux controllers are used to maintain a set motor speed or to move to and hold a given position. A feedback device (typically a motor encoder) provides the actual speed or position information. In the case of a brushless DC motor, the controller also provides the electronic commutation, i.e., the correct sequence of powering the motor winding for proper motor operation.
