A high performance, fully featured drive range for motors 0.75kW to 22.0kW.

The Microdrive Elite offers exceptional performance with both closed and open loop vector control. IP54/NEMA 12 enclosure rating ensures operational reliability even in harsh industrial environments.

The Microdrive Elite as standard is fully filtered and EMC compliant ­ no additional filters are required.

One drive fits all applications

  • Open loop mode control for general industrial applications, e.g. conveyors, extruders, mixers and positive displacement pumps. 
  • Closed loop mode gives precise control in lift and hold applications, e.g. cranes, elevators, winches and hoists. 
  • +25% re-rating for centrifugal pumps and fans @ 40°C.

Exceptional performance

  • Open loop mode  provides unequalled motor speed and torque control to less than 1 Hertz. 
  • Closed loop mode control for high performance applications, i.e. 250% torque at zero speed. 
  • Automatic calibration and tuning for ease of setup and optimum performance. 
  • Trip free operation ensures service reliability. 
  • Silent motor operation with PDL's Whisper Wave (carrier frequency to 16Hz).
