Bosch Rexroth Servo Drives: the international benchmark in servo motor control
Bosch Rexroth’s range of servo drives address today’s automation needs for open, seamless designs and multi-protocol support. These servo motor drives are ideal in a wide range of applications requiring precise control of motor position, velocity and torque using feedback loops, including CNC machining, robotic and factory automation.
Our compact servo drive is the ideal choice for highly specialised drive applications, especially single-axis applications. The servo drive uses real-time Ethernet based communication and multi-protocol support with an innovative multi-encoder interface.
The new multi-encoder servo drive interface supports all standard encoder types with an additional option slot. The advantage of this servo drive design is that inverter and power supply are combined in a single device.
By using Bosch Rexroth servo motor drives in your electric drive and control system, you are investing in reliable, high performance and precise machine operation with long lifecycles, low maintenance and ease of use.
