Price and availability

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.

Applications

Motion control

  • Robotics
  • CNC
  • Pick'n'place
  • Precise speed,torque or position control
  • Actuators

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.

DualDC

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.
