VSD-E/XE drive is a versatile servo drive from Granite Devices.
Contents
Applications
Motion control
- Robotics
- CNC
- Pick'n'place
- Precise speed,torque or position control
- Actuators
- 3D printers
Other uses
VSD-E series has been successfully used also in non-motion related applications mainly in torque mode (a.k.a. current control mode). In these applications a LC filter has been used after drive to smoothen out the PWM output.
- High power LED driver with dimming (up to 160 VDC led strings)
- High power thermoelectric cooling driver

DualDC mode
A special feature of VSD-E/XE is that it can control two indepdendent brush DC servo motors on single drive. This mode is achieved by downloading a freerly available DualDC firmware to the drive. DualDC mode has several restrictions compared to single axis mode due to hardware limitations.
Purchasing
Before purchase
Before purchasing the drive, it is suggested to:
- Ensure product suitability for your needs:
- See VSD-E/XE PDF manual chapter 13 for supported motor and feedback device types
- Check if a compatible reference signal is available from your controller
- Read through the drive manual to understand the product and requirements better
- Make clear what additional items will be needed, such as power supplies and possibly interface electronics
- If unsure about suitability, please send inquiry to Granite Devices support to be sure
How to purchase
VSD-E base price in single quantities is €199 and VSD-XE €243 excluding VAT. Both models are currently under active production and can be purchased from GD Web shop or from any GD distributor.
