SC422-460-T2 by Pacific Scientific

The Pacific Scientific SC422-460-T2 servo drive is a high-precision motion control component in the SC400 Servo Drives series, designed for demanding industrial automation environments. This compact unit delivers rapid response and robust reliability by operating within a 10-24 V DC input voltage range and achieving a 50 ms adjustment time for smooth, precise motor control. Featuring an ingress protection rating of IP67, the SC422-460-T2 remains sealed against dust and temporary immersion, ensuring dependable operation in harsh factory conditions. Weighing only 75 g and housed in durable aluminum, this drive enables space-saving installations where minimal mass and footprint are critical. The integrated RS485 communication protocol provides reliable data exchange and seamless network integration in complex automation systems.

Detailed technical specifications reinforce the SC422-460-T2’s capability to excel under challenging conditions. The drive measures 42 × 22 × 10 mm in external dimensions, making it one of the slimmest solutions in its class. Its 3-wire wiring configuration simplifies setup and reduces installation time, while a high isolation voltage of 1500 VDC protects connected devices from voltage spikes and surges. Operating over an ambient temperature range of –20°C to 85°C, the drive boasts a high thermal tolerance that ensures uninterrupted performance in both extreme heat and cold. Power consumption remains under 2 W during normal operation, contributing to overall system efficiency and lower energy costs.

Operational features focus on performance and reliability throughout extended duty cycles. The SC422-460-T2’s rapid 50 ms response time minimizes overshoot and settling times in high-speed motion sequences, enhancing throughput in pick-and-place, labeling, or packaging applications. Its IP67 rating confirms protection against dust ingress and temporary water immersion, while the sturdy aluminum housing resists mechanical shock and vibration common in industrial settings. At just 75 g, the low mass reduces load inertia on drive mounts and motor couplings, improving dynamic response and accuracy. The 3-wire configuration, combined with robust RS485 communication, ensures error-free command delivery and status reporting for closed-loop control.

System integration is straightforward with standardized RS485 protocol support and protective features that meet evolving safety standards. The SC422-460-T2 can be seamlessly paired with PLCs, HMIs, and higher-level controllers in modular production lines, robotic cells, conveyors, and CNC machines. Its slim footprint of 42 × 22 × 10 mm and lightweight design allow retrofitting into existing equipment or incorporation into new compact assemblies. Ideal for industrial automation applications requiring fast response, reliable isolation, and rugged durability, the SC422-460-T2 embodies the precision and resilience demanded by modern manufacturing.
