ClearPath-SD series servo systems are a perfect drop-in replacement for your stepper system. No more lost steps, whisper quiet motion, and increased machine throughput with 8-13x more power than similar size steppers.
Upgrade your current servo system with any of Teknic's ClearPath servo systems and get state-of-the-art performance in a compact and integrated package at an unbeatable price.
Being able to smoothly start and stop with 0.001% velocity accuracy, hold position without expensive mechanics, and the ability to access full torque at low RPM make ClearPath motors a must-have replacement for AC Induction motors.
Meridian is an integrated motion controller and digital servo drive that is capable of controlling servos, linear motors, and steppers. Benefits include:
Reduce machine vibration and increase throughput with g-Stop™ anti-resonance
Use the Accelerated Prototyping System™ to diagnose machine performance, reduce development time, and get your machine to market faster
Improve stepper motor smoothness and increase power output with Meridian's vector sinewave commutation
Meridian's "sFoundation" is a source code library that provides the majority of the motion functions you'll need to get your system up and running quickly
The Amazon™ Intelligent Power Center (IPC) is designed and built specifically for motion control applications.
High output capacitance and built-in regen control system prevents over-voltage shutdowns and the need for external regeneration control and load resistor
High peak power drastically reduces power supply droop during motor acceleration
A 24VDC power supply can be connected to the 24VDC input on the integral hp ClearPath models to provide logic power backup. This way, the motors retain encoder position and communication ability when AC bus power is removed (e.g. during E-stop). This avoids the need to re-home.
See the video or the ClearPath user manual appendix for how to properly size your 24 volt logic power supply.
AC Power Cable
This user-supplied cable connects the integral hp ClearPath models to an AC power source (100-240 VAC single-phase or 3-phase; 300-430 VAC for 5-wire systems).
This 12-14 AWG wiring terminates at your ClearPath motor into a universal screw terminal block.
*Please review AC-input ClearPath manual for wiring instructions
Controller Cable
This cable connects your control signals to the ClearPath motor.
The controller cable requires an 8-pin Molex Mini-fit connector on the ClearPath end.
The cable can be purchased from Teknic or can be easily made with the proper materials and crimp tools.
This "Motor Setup Program" software is used for initial ClearPath setup and diagnostics.
After initial setup, the motor is disconnected during application operation (but you can also use MSP for diagnostics and troubleshooting during application operation).
This USB cable connects the ClearPath motor to a Windows PC for initial setup using the ClearPath MSP (Motor Setup Program) software.
After initial setup, the cable is disconnected for application operation (but can also be used for diagnostic purposes).
The connectors are USB A to B.
This cable can be purchased from Teknic or third parties. If you use a third-party cable, make sure to use a “fully rated” cable (shielded and designed for high-speed data communication).
Users can communicate with ClearPath-MC using digital or PWM signals. These signals are available from wide variety of devices (PLCs, switches, pushbuttons, rotary encoders, etc.).
No control signals are required for "Spin on Power Up" mode.

Controller Cable, 55 ft Part Number: CPM-CABLE-CTRL-MM660 Connectors: 8-pin Molex Mini-fit to 8-pin Molex Mini-fit Length: 16.775 m (55 ft)
Cable to connect your digital control signals (from switches, buttons, PLCs, etc.) to your ClearPath motor. The 8-pin Molex connector connects to the motor. This cable can be cut to make two cables with a ClearPath connector on one end and flying leads on the other. Can also be used to connect an SC communication hub board to a ClearPath-SC motor, or an ASU-FR510 Analog Send Unit (analog to digital converter) to ClearPath motors and User I/O.
Controller Cable, 10 ft Part Number: CPM-CABLE-CTRL-MU120 Connectors: 8-pin Molex Mini-fit to 8-pin Molex Mini-fit (one connector is overmolded) Length: 3.05 m (10 ft)
This cable connects your digital control signals (from switches, buttons, PLCs, etc.) to your ClearPath motor. The overmolded Molex connector connects to the motor (which allows an IP-65 sealed connection when used with dielectric grease), and the other end can be plugged into a breakout board (or for ClearPath-SC, the SC communication hub), or cut off to create flying leads to allow you to wire into any control device you may use.
This USB cable connects the ClearPath motor to a Windows PC for initial setup using the ClearPath MSP (Motor Setup Program) software.

USB Cable, for Diagnostics, or SC4-HUB to PC Part Number: CPM-CABLE-USB-120AB Connectors: USB 2.0 A to B Length: 3.05 m (10 ft)
Cable is used: 1) to use the diagnostic USB port on integral hp (AC input) ClearPath motors; or 2) to connect your host PC to a ClearPath-SC communication hub (e.g SC4-HUB). NOTE: This cable cannot be used with the diagnostic (rear USB) port of fractional hp (DC input) ClearPath models; for those, use the CPM-CABLE-USB-120 which has a micro-B connector.
This cable connects user-supplied 24VDC logic backup power to the ClearPath motor.
The motor uses a 2-pin Molex Mini-fit connector.
The cable can be purchased from Teknic or can be easily made with the proper materials and crimp tools.

24 Volt Power, 2-Pin Molex Cable Part Number: CPM-CABLE-M2P2P-120 Connectors: 2-pin Molex to 2-pin Molex Length: 10 ft
Cable used to supply 24 volt logic power to a number of ClearPath devices (e.g., Logic backup for AC-input motors, SC4-HUB power, daisy-chained power from SC4-HUB to SC4-HUB, ASU-FR510, power from POWER4-HUB to SC4-HUB, etc.) Can be cut in half to make two shorter cables with flying leads.
For applications that cause significant regenerated energy (e.g., vertical axes, and inertial loads decelerated quickly), the regenerated energy dissipation unit can be used to monitor and manage your motor's regenerative energy. It provides up to 250W of continuous energy dissipation.
The blower kit (AC powered fan and shroud) provides a significant increase in continuous torque for certain AC-input ClearPath motors. (ClearPath part numbers with “_Fan” show the increased capability.)

Analog Send Unit Part Number: ASU-FR510
Connectors: Molex Mini-fit (8, 4 and 2-pin)
Dimensions, in (mm): 4.63 (117.6) x 2.09 (53.1) x 1.45 (36.8)

User Manual
Need to use analog control signals? For maximum noise immunity, ClearPath-MC natively uses digital control signals, but this “Analog Send Unit” (ASU) allows you to use analog control signals (0-10V or 4-20mA) while minimizing associated noise issues. The ASU converts analog signals to digital signals compatible with ClearPath-MC, so you won’t have noise corruption. Just locate the ASU as close as possible to your analog source and send the accurately converted digital signals to ClearPath’s optically isolated inputs for high-fidelity control.
Controller Cable, 10 ft Part Number: CPM-CABLE-CTRL-MU120 Connectors: 8-pin Molex Mini-fit to 8-pin Molex Mini-fit (one connector is overmolded) Length: 3.05 m (10 ft)
This cable connects your digital control signals (from switches, buttons, PLCs, etc.) to your ClearPath motor. The overmolded Molex connector connects to the motor (which allows an IP-65 sealed connection when used with dielectric grease), and the other end can be plugged into a breakout board, or cut off to create flying leads to allow you to wire into any control device you may use. Note: if you are using the ASU-FR510, you will need two controller cables—one from the ASU to your I/O, and one from the ASU to ClearPath-MC.
24 Volt Power, 2-Pin Molex Cable Part Number: CPM-CABLE-M2P2P-120 Connectors: 2-pin Molex to 2-pin Molex Length: 10 ft
Cable used to supply 24 volt logic power to a number of ClearPath devices (e.g., POWER4-HUB power, daisy-chained power from SC4-HUB to SC4-HUB, ASU-FR510, power from POWER4-HUB to SC4-HUB, etc.) Can be cut in half to make two shorter cables with flying leads.
I/O Cable, 4-Pin Molex Part Number: CPM-CABLE-M4P4P-120 Connectors: 4-pin Molex Mini-fit to 4-pin Molex Mini-fit Length: 10 ft
Cable used to connect an analog input to an ASU-FR510 Analog Send Unit (analog to digital converter). This cable uses 22 AWG wire and so is not suitable for use as a DC power cable for a ClearPath motor.
