APPLICATIONS - X-Y stages - Automated assembly machinery - Robotics - Component insertion machines THE OEM ADVANTAGE - Component header customizes amps for different motors - Conservatively rated components for high MTBF PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Standard Amplifier (513) Model 513 is a complete pwm servoamplifier that operates from transformer-isolated single-voltage power supplies and provides six-step commutation of dc brushless servomotors. Power output is four-quadrant for rapid acceleration and deceleration. Amplifier operates in torque ( current ) mode for use with microprocessor based control cards. Analog ( brush ) tachometers can be used to make velocity loops. New servo preamplifier circuits give improved control over frequency response for faster setup and adjustment. An internal header socket holds components that configure current limits and load-inductance c
The Copley Model 513 is a DC brushless servo amplifier that operates from a wide voltage range (24 V to 190 V) and delivers up to 13 A continuous, 26 A peak current. It supports six‑step commutation for brushless servomotors and includes fault protections such as output short detection, over/under‑voltage shutdown, and over‑temperature protection. The optional 513R resolver card adds resolver‑derived tachometer and encoder emulation, providing 1024‑line quadrature output and velocity‑loop capability.
The device offers configurable load inductance (0.2 mH‑40 mH), a 2.5 kHz bandwidth, and a 25 kHz PWM switching frequency. Mechanical dimensions are 4.4 × 7.32 × 1.29 in (without heatsink) and weight is about 1.32 lb (0.60 kg) for the 513 and 1.48 lb (0.67 kg) for the 513R. Connectors are standard Phoenix or Molex types, and the unit can be synchronized with multiple amplifiers via a sync connector.
