Minarik Drives
M1 Series SCR Drives

Rated for 5A (1/2 hp) with 115 VAC input and 10A (1hp) with the addition of an optional heat sink, the M1 can fit where other drives with the same current ratings can’t! The very compact M1 has a footprint of only 4.30” x 2.64” while conveniently maintaining the industry standard for mounting hole location.

The programmable chip on the M1 sets ranges for the acceleration, deceleration, current limit, and IR comp trimmer pots, eliminating the need of costly hardware changes for OEM applications. Other features include the inhibit function (connect via 2-pin header or via spade lugs) and a jumper to set for use with smaller motors (1/15 to 1/8 hp). The M1 also has a wider (than typical) IR comp range for finer motor tuning and a safety feature: after any motor stall, the M1 will follow the acceleration ramp setting to set speed instead of ramping up at an uncontrolled rate. With its compact size, standard features, programmability, and 1% speed regulation, the M1 is excellent for both OEMs and users that require power and performance in an extremely small package.

• Compact size: Gold extruded chassis with “MM” mounting hole locations with only a 4.30" x 2.64" footprint.
• Speed range and regulation: 1% regulation over 60:1 speed range
• User adjustable calibration pots: IR compensation, max speed, min speed, acceleration, deceleration and torque.
• Stopping modes: The user can coast the motor to a stop (N.O.).
• Spade terminals: Easy to use, lower cost and able to fit in a smaller package
• Two choices for inhibit connection: Remote start/stop control with cable and plug assembly (P/N 201-0024) or simply connect to spade terminals.
• Programmable trimmer pot ranges: Unique application requirements for acceleration, deceleration, current limit and IR compensation can be programmed into a chip without expensive hardware changes.
• Additional features: Wider than typical IR comp range for finer tuning, wide accel/decel range (.5 to 26 secs), and vibration tested to 1G.
