ClearPath All-in-One Servo Motors
ClearPath integrates all servo components into one compact package:
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
Spring applied power-off (or fail-safe) brakes are used in applications that require the axis to stay in position, even if the machine loses power or is turned off (this is common for vertical applications or when additional safety measures are required).
Front mount compatible with any NEMA 23 or NEMA 34 motor frames
24VDC input for easy actuation
NEMA 23 pricing starting at $219 and NEMA 34 at $296
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
Teknic continues to advance the state-of-the-art in servo motion control. As a result, new products are engineered to provide greater performance, reliability, and value. Products that are eventually displaced by the introduction of new technology are not simply discontinued—the components continue to be manufactured and supported for as long as parts are reasonably available.
When products are forced into end of life, Teknic's factory engineers work with customers who desire to extend the life of their legacy machines with newer servo components. Some of Teknic's legacy products were available for nearly 30 years before they moved to end of life status.
1Integrated — No drive to mount, no motor-to-drive cable to wire and route. Faster and easier installation.
2Full torque at zero/low speed — Hold position without a brake or clutch; eliminate speed-reducing gearboxes.
3Excellent velocity accuracy — Smooth and precise (within 0.001%), even at very low speed.
4Smaller and lighter — Takes up less machine space, and no panel/enclosure space; easier to handle and install.
5Reserve power when you need it — Most models have 300-400% peak torque capability to eliminate stalls from transient overloads, maintain accurate speed despite large load disturbances, and make fast, smooth starts and stops.
6Easy to Use — Simple I/O control (see videos below); auto-tuner optimizes performance for every application.
7Control position as well as velocity and torque; built-in, high-resolution encoder provides repeatability better than 0.006 degrees.
8IP65 sealed — Drive, controls and encoder are protected within the sealed, cast aluminum motor body; no expensive protective enclosures needed.
9Matched drive and motor — no worries about drive/motor compatibility issues or overall system performance.
10Low price, great value — Get a true, closed-loop PMAC servo for the price of an inverter-rated AC motor and VFD. Assembled in the USA, 3-month money-back guarantee, 3+ year warranty.
Try ClearPath risk-free for 3 months. Full refund if you're not 100% impressed!

Optional Accessories
The Blower Kit (AC powered fan and shroud) provides a significant increase in continuous torque and power for certain AC-input ClearPath motors.
The Blower Kit requires single-phase 190-230 VAC.
For information on mounting the Blower Kit to your ClearPath motor, take a look at the ClearPath user manual.
The Foot Mount is an optional rigid base for AC-input ClearPath motors.
Customers can use the foot mount instead of the standard face mount for the NEMA 56 and NEMA 143 motors, or in place of the flange mount option with the IEC D100 motors.
The Analog Send Unit (ASU) allows you to use analog signals (0-10V or 4-20mA) to control ClearPath.
The ASU converts these analog control signals to high-fidelity digital signals compatible with ClearPath.
For additional information on the Analog Send Unit, take a look at the ASU user manual.
The Regenerated Energy Shunt (RES-225) helps prevent nuisance over-voltage shutdowns by monitoring and dissipating your motor's regenerated energy.
The RES-225 is used in applications that experience significant regenerated energy. Generally these are vertical axes or those with large inertial loads that are decelerated quickly.
Each RES-225 can dissipate 250 Watts of continuous power, and up to 7kW of peak power.
For additional information on the RES-225, take a look at the ClearPath user manual.
