Potomac Electric’s USD Amplifier, introduced through our Mechatronics Systems division, is a new addition to our motor line, specially designed to address obsolescence and extend the life of the machine, especially since new ones are so expensive. After the requirements are defined, the actual retrofit is easily done by the end user. The USD series is a state-of-the-art drive that easily interfaces with both older product and the modern applications of today. All our products are designed and manufactured in the USA at our factory in Boston, MA.

Currently, a great number of machines are running with large, obsolete DC and AC Servomotors and Amplifiers. Many use 1980’s to 2000’s-generation products that are rapidly becoming outdated. These machines are found in every industry, but the majority are used in CNC Machine Tools, Plastics and Material Handling applications. These large- power servosystems have brand names such as Peerless, Gettys, Inland, Fanuc, Yaskawa, Kolmorgen and Indramat, to name a few.
Repair or Replacement of obsolete motors or amplifiers, to prolong the life of an otherwise perfectly good machine, is a big problem. The unavailability of replacement motors and amplifiers result in huge repair costs. What is worse, the reliability of the product is very poor.
The USD/M54XX Brushless Servo system provides a cost-effective solution to avoid expensive retrofit of the whole Machine Control. Simply replace the Drive, Motor and two cables – done!
