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 cant! The very compact M1 has a footprint of only 4.30 x 2.64 while conveniently maintaining the industry standard for mounting hole location more...
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.

Patriot Series SCR Drives
The Minarik Drives Patriot Series provides a reliable andeconomical solution for controlling permanent magnet or shut-wound DC motors in variable speed applications. Housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, they are ideal for washdown applications and provide protection from corrosive material, windblown dust, or incidental contact more...
Patriot Series drives have dual voltage capability, (115 VAC or 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz) and operate 90 or 180 VDC SCR brush-type motors (from 1/8 to 2 Hp). Both the MC10 and MC10-R use SCRs to provide full-wave rectification of the AC line input. Users make wire connections to the screw terminal block inside the enclosure and operate the drive through the pre-mounted speed adjust knob and power (MC10) or direction (MC10-R) switch.
- NEMA 4X enclosure: Plastic enclosure protects against outer corrosive material and incidental contact.
- Speed range and regulation: 1% regulation over 60:1 speed range.
- User adjustable calibration pots: IR compensation, minimum speed, maximum speed, torque limit, acceleration, and deceleration.
- Diagnostic LEDs: LEDs for power and current limit status.
- Clean, logical design: Power/Direction switch and speed adjust knob located on front of case for easy operation.
- Screw and spade terminal: Quick and easy wire terminations.
- Inhibit terminal: Allows users to remotely coast the drive to minimum speed by closing the contacts.
- Dual voltage AC input (115 or 230VAC), AC line fuse, and field voltage for shunt wound motors.
DC to DC Series Drives
The DC-DC Series are DC in/DC out PWM chassis drives. These feature rich drives include inhibit for remote starting and stopping, a power LED, and trimmer pot adjustments for minimum speed, maximum speed, acceleration, IR comp, and current limit. All trimmer pots are non-interactive making calibration quick and easy more...
The DC-DC Series is available in three sizes: 16A and 60A units for 12 or 24 VDC motors and a 60A unit for 36 or 48 VDC motors. Configuring a DC Series drive for a specific motor voltage is easy with an on-board jumper.
Perfect for use with battery-powered equipment, the DC-DC Series is able to maintain variable speed control as the battery discharges. This results in an increase in running time of battery-operated equipment. The DC-DC Series is also ideal for many other types of portable equipment. The UL approved DC-DC Series comes with an extruded chassis for better heat sink transfer to the heatsink, more bus capacitance to handle ripple currents, a loose speed potentiometer and a convenient screw terminal block for wiring. With 1% speed regulation over an 80:1 speed range, the DCDC Series is the perfect solution for low voltage, DC-to-DC applications!
- Low voltage motor operation: Designed for 12, 24, 36 and 48 VDC motors.
- Speed range and regulation: 1% regulation over 80:1 speed range.
- User adjustable calibration pots: IR compensation, max speed, min speed,
acceleration and current limit. All are independent and non-interactive.
- Diagnostic LEDs: Power.
- Stopping modes: The user can coast the motor to a stop (N.O.) using inhibit circuitry.
- Spade terminals and screw terminal block: Quick and easy connections.
- DC input voltage: Accepts DC input and outputs DC voltage up to 95% of the input with near perfect form factor.
- One drive for two motor voltages: On board jumper to select 12 or 24VDC motor (36 or 48VDC on some models).
- Ideal for battery powered equipment: Maintains variable speed control even as battery voltage declines. Extends total running time of equipment.
- Additional features: extruded chassis and non-interactive trimmer pots
VFD Series Drives
The Volts/Hertz VFD Series has several models in the 1/4 - 1 hp range that accepts 115 VAC and 230 VAC power. The cost-conscious and compact chassis design of the VFD Series maintains the industry standard for mounting hole location and the coded LEDs make it easy to visually determine the drive status. more...
The unique torque foldback feature protects your motor and equipment. The VFD Series will allow 200% torque for a period of time (to overcome intermittent peak loads), then it acts to reduce the output current (or torque) to a preset, safe value which has been set by the TQ Limit trimmer pot. This results in eliminating potential equipment damage by a continuous 200% torque input. The VFD Series includes additional features such as an adjustable carrier frequency of 4-16 kHz, an output frequency range of 0- 120 Hz, and an adjustable torque boost for start up. Enable and Direction terminals are included for easy start/stop and direction control. With its compact size, standard features, and application flexibility, the VFD Series is an excellent choice for most 1 hp and under AC applications.
- Compact size: (4.30 x 3.70) Easy to mount in small spaces with industry standard mounting hole pattern.
- D models can double the output: Enables the use of a 230 VAC motor with a 115 VAC power supply.
- Use with a variety of motors: Can be used with 3-phase induction and single-phase permanent split capacitor, shaded pole and synchronous motors. Quickly and easily change trimmer pot ranges for 1/4 to 1 hp motors.
- Easy to calibrate & set-up: On-board trimmer pot adjustments for boost, maximum speed, acceleration, deceleration, torque limit.
- Torque foldback feature: Allows up to 200% torque for short periods to overcome intermittent peak loads, then reduces the torque to a (preset) safe level.
- 16kHz switching frequency, with option to change between 4 and 16 kHz in the field: A high switching frequency results in quiet motor operation. Adjustments to a lower frequency if desired can be done in the field.Optional isolation: Order unit with a -PCM suffix for isolation of inputs.
