A brushless dc motor controller provides 1000 W of power in a small footprint. Measuring 3 × 4.65 × 1.75, the 371-0028 motor controller from Servo Magnetics Inc. (Canoga Park, CA; www.servomag.com) is suitable for closed- or open-loop velocity and torque control of BLDC motors producing greater than 160 oz-in. at 7000 rpm. Input voltage can vary from 10 to 15 V with a rating of 20 A continuous and a peak of 40 A for rapid acceleration applications. The controller has rugged surface mount components in a compact design. Other features include a quick disconnect for wiring, on-board LED status indication, enable, FWD-REV, and tachometer output. The amplifier is fully protected from overcurrent, short circuit overtemperature, voltage, and loss of feedback.

A family of 1500-W power supplies features a five-year warranty. The single-output HSW1500 series from Lambda (San Diego; www.lambdapower.com) is suitable for powering industrial equipment used in applications where high reliability is needed. The units are available in 12-, 15-, 24-, and 48-V nominal outputs, and each model can be adjusted up to ±20% of its nominal voltage to accommodate nonstandard system voltages. The 24-V model has a peak current capability of 105 A when operated with a line voltage greater than 200 V ac. A range of input voltages from 85 to 265 V ac are offered. Remote on-off, dc good, and current-share signals are standard. The units feature a footprint of 5 × 3.25 × 11 in. and can be operated in a -10° to 70° C environment.
