The Advanced Motion Controls B12A6F is a brushless PWM servo amplifier engineered to deliver precise, efficient motor control across demanding automation and motion systems. It drives brushless DC motors, brushed DC motors, voice coil motors, and inductive loads with a 33 kHz switching frequency, supporting trapezoidal commutation via Hall sensors with selectable 60/120 degree phasing. The amplifier provides peak output current of 12 A and continuous current of 6 A at maximum continuous output power of 342 W, operating from a single unregulated DC supply between 20–60 VDC.
