Servo drives
Powerful servo drives for high precision and speed control.
Definition
A servo drive is an electronic drive (servo amplifier) that controls a servo motor by regulating position, speed, and torque using feedback (e.g., from an encoder). It enables precise, high-speed motion control in automation systems and can be integrated with PLCs or motion controllers for complex movements.
Precision servo drives
For optimal drive systems, we offer precise and accurate servo drives from LS Electric.
LS Electric servo drives
Each type of servo drive has its own field of application and supports different types of feedback.
LS Electric servo drives can be configured using LS Electric’s free software. By adding a PLC or motion controller to the system, it is possible to program and control more complex movements.
Our servo drives, with power from 0.75 to 15kW, combined with a servo motor, gear unit and motion controller, form a complete servo drive system from a single supplier.

BEGE servo drives: the different ranges
Our product portfolio consists of six powerful and precise servo drives.
Integrated servo system – PEGA
This servo system with integrated improved efficiency is a combined system of motor, encoder and servo drive. It maximizes the usable space when installed in confined and small spaces.
Low voltage DC drive – PHOX
This low voltage DC drive enables real-time control via EtherCAT for DC automation systems. Variable switching frequency and full closed-loop control ensure very precise control.
All-in-one EtherCAT communications type – L7NH
Servo amplifier with EtherCAT connectivity. The L7NH series of servo drives provide the complete solution for controlling LS servo motors.
Servo drives – index function type – L7P
Servo amplifier with built-in positioning (indexing) module. These integrated control systems for position, speed and torque are easy to use and cost-effective.
This series offers a variety of functions such as backup, network diagnostics and monitoring, and includes built-in functions to improve efficiency.
All-in-one EtherCAT fully closed-loop – L7NHF
The L7NHF series is the perfect solution for controlling LS servo motors. These integrated control systems for position, speed and torque are easy to use and cost-effective.
They feature full closed-loop control for ultimate precision.
Pulse/analog function type – L7C
This integrated control system for position, speed and torque is easy to use and cost-effective.
L7C is a good choice for single-phase servo drive systems: a reliable and economical drive.
