Elmo Motion Control Expands Whistle Family of Miniature Servo Drives to Support Up to 2400W

Miniature Whistle delivers extraordinary intelligence and power density 5 times greater than the competition

[ClickPress, Tue Jun 12 2007] Elmo Motion Control, a leading global provider of analog servo amplifiers and digital servo drives for brush and brushless motors, announces today the release of three new powerful miniature Whistle servo drives which support up to 2400W. The new Whistle servo drives contain the highest power density coupled with SimplIQ intelligence and are available in the following additional models: WHI-15/60 (15A, 60VDC), WHI-10/100 (10A, 100V), WHI-15/100 (15A, 100V).

"By integrating Elmo’s proprietary FASST (Fast And Soft Switching Technology) power management technology with cutting edge thermal management technology, the miniature Whistle exhibits an extraordinary power density of 35 Watts/cubic cm which is over 5 times greater than the competition," said Haim Monhait, Founder and CEO of Elmo Motion Control. Elmo's industry leading technologies enable the Whistle to achieve more than 99% efficiency in a highly compact package.

Elmo's SimplIQ digital core embedded into the small servo drive offers a broad range of rich functionality and flexibility including motion control capabilities, programming, communication protocol support and versatile power capabilities. Additionally, the Whistle supports a wide range of feedback options including: digital halls, incremental, encoder, incremental encoder and halls, resolver, interpolated analog encoder, analog halls, tachometer, position potentiometer, and absolute coarse/fine analog encoder.

The Whistle's compactness allows for easy and non-intrusive mounting near the axis and/or directly into the application layout. Additionally, its pin-based design enables direct integration into the application's PCB for significant cost savings. Integrators can quickly and simply implement the drive into their application, reduce the need for adding external components and decrease the amount of cabinet space and cables.
