Product Description
The Gold Drum series of digital servo drives are highly resilient and designed to deliver the highest
density of power and intelligence. The Gold Drum delivers up to 8.0 kW of continuous /16.0 kW
peak power , and 9.6 kW of continuous power with R type drives, in a compact package.
This advanced, high power density servo drive operates from a DC power source in current, velocity,
position and advanced position modes, in conjunction with a permanent-magnet synchronous
brushless motor, DC brush motor, linear motor or voice coil. They are designed for use with any
type of sinusoidal and trapezoidal commutation, with vector control. The Gold Drum can operate as
a stand-alone device or as part of a multi-axis system in a distributed configuration on a real-time
network.
The drives are easily set up and tuned using Elmo Application Studio software tools. This Windows-
based application enables users to quickly and simply configure the servo drive for optimal use with
their motor. The Gold Drum, as part of the Gold Line, is fully programmable with Elmo’s motion
control language.
Since the power stage is fully isolated from the control stage, the DC rectifier can be fed directly
from the mains, without the need for a bulky and expensive transformer.
The Gold Drum is available in a variety of options including; multiple power rating selections, two
different communications options, a variety of feedback selections and I/O configuration
possibilities.
