  • One German quality Papst ECI 42 Brush-Less-Direct-Current (BLDC) 24 VDC, 100 watt servo motor with 1:3.2 planetary gear rated at 0 - 1,200 RPM and 0.7 Nm torque.

Monitor display real-time info

The Hephaestus cabinet facilitate a build-in 5” touch sensitive TFT colour display for real-time information of: actual RPM, direction CW or CCW, rotor consumed watt. Integrated UPS and RAM for data collection to be dumped on USB memory stick or saved by external software.

Programming is simple

  1. Select CW or CCW
  2. Select internal control of RPM or external RPM control (4-20 mAmp input)
  3. Select calibration friction losses combined with drives (like MST or HPD)
  4. Create individual programs for RPM, time and sequence
  5. Select enable for on/off

Perseus servo motor installed on MST with 3.2 liter SUB. MST and servo motor. Setup with servo motor on HPD adaptor as on SUFs larger than 5.7 liter.
