The Kar-Tech Motor Driver brings rugged, high-current control to demanding DC motor and hydraulic applications. Its precise variable-speed performance, configurable outputs, integrated communications and wireless compatibility gives OEMs a flexible, reliable platform for smarter, more responsive machine control systems.
With factory bridgeable outputs, the Motor Driver can control either four 25A DC motors (45A peak), two 50A DC motors (90A peak), a single 100A motor (180A peak) or eight (25A) proportional or on/off outputs suitable for hydraulic valves and other equipment. Integrated CANbus via SAE-J1939, optional Wi-Fi and RF communications, and up to nine analog inputs make it easy to integrate into most control architecture.
Encased in a custom anodized aluminum housing and fully urethane potted, the Motor Driver is engineered to withstand shock, vibration, moisture and extreme operating conditions while delivering dependable performance.
The Motor Driver combines flexible output configurations, intelligent communications and rugged construction into a single control platform.
