Sigma-7 Servo Drives
Choose improved efficiency for your application
The intelligent system design of our Sigma-7 series ensures high overall efficiency and performance of your machinery and equipment. Sigma-7 servo drives are easy to implement, commission and use. Sophisticated functions like vibration suppression reduce stress on machine parts and significantly improve throughput.

- The functions SS1, SS2, SOS and SLS are standard in each safety module
- 3 different option modules are available with up to 14 safety functions
Very low heat generation
- Optimized magnetic circuit improves motor efficiency

- Ambient temperature from -5 to 55 °C (max. 60 °C with derating)
Next level 24-bit absolute encoder for maximum accuracy
- Resolution of 16 million pulses per revolution for extremely precise positioning
Very high precision teamed up with fast, smooth operation
- Ripple compensation for highest demands in smoothness and dynamics
- Even for machines for which speed loop gains cannot be set high
Even more reliability for your production
- More than 22 million servo systems in the field
- Improved machine reliability, reduced service and maintenance costs, less downtime
Quick setup in just 3 minutes
Presets in the amplifier software simplify commissioning. A ‚tuning-less‘ function allows immediate use without the need for complex parametrisation or special knowledge of control equipment, while an auto-tuning function ensures quick adjustment.
Space saving
New book-style housing supports gapfree, side-by-side installation of amplifiers even in small spaces. This makes it possible to realize high performance density inside a cabinet. The needed space is reduced to a minimum, allowing it and the drive electronics to be integrated in the machine.
Eco friendly
Motor efficiency reduces heat generation by up to 20 %. The possible DC power coupling of axes allows energy sharing and energy savings of up to 30 %.
Cost saving
Sigma-7 reduces the overall costs by providing faster machine setup, higher throughput with more products in less time and reduced machine downtimes due to it's high reliability.
Savings through performance
With a best in class frequency response of 3.1 kHz, Sigma-7 SERVOPACKs can reduce settling time to less than 4 ms. Compared to a standard system with 40 ms settling time as an example, a pick & place unit based on Sigma-7 components can save a significant amount of money.
