DART Controls 130 Series Analog SCR Drives

DART Controls 130 Series Analog SCR Drives are an economical, safe, and effective drive solution for applications which require rapid stopping (brake) or reversal of the motor being controlled. The 130 Series uses relays and sophisticated circuitry to reverse the motor safely - avoiding damage to both the motor and the drive.

The motor should be stopped in its original direction before armature voltage polarity is reversed, to safely achieve direction reversal. The 130 Series accomplishes this automatically. The sequence is to disconnect the motor from the drive and replace it with a dynamic brake resistor - this dissipates all energy in the motor causing the motor to stop fast (brake). Once the 130 circuit sees this has occured, the relays change state and allow the motor to start in the opposite direction. This happens in a fraction of a second. As many as 30 motor reversals a minute can be executed even with the motor under full load.

In many applications, the 130 Series will replace expensive regenerative drives that do not require holding torque for the application.

All Dart Controls products are 100% designed and built in the USA, backed by a generous warranty policy.
