PV2A015SMT1P50-C1 by Sanyo Denki

The Sanyo Denki PV2A015SMT1P50-C1 is a high-performance servo amplifier in the PV Super Servo Amplifiers series, engineered by Sanyo Denki for precision motion control in industrial automation. This compact unit weighs approximately 8.5 kg and mounts via a flange mount configuration, ensuring straightforward integration into existing systems. It delivers a nominal rated pressure of 16 MPa and operates at a rated speed of 1800 rpm, with a maximum pressure capacity of 21 MPa. The amplifier supports a displacement of 15 cm³/rev and is compatible with fluids within a viscosity range of 16 to 200 mm²/s. Operating reliably across a recommended fluid temperature of –15°C to 70°C, it suits environments requiring robust thermal resilience.

Featuring advanced electrohydraulic control, the PV2A015SMT1P50-C1 utilizes a single vane pump architecture to regulate flow and pressure with superior stability. The drive accepts a regulated signal from its DeviceNet communication interface—firmware version 2.04—for deterministic network performance. It implements a wiring-saving incremental encoder system to streamline cabling, and handles command signals via dedicated D-sub connectors for both pulse train input and encoder feedback. The unit’s electrical design supports a 200 V AC supply, delivering up to 400 W of motor output power and a rated current of 15 A, facilitating precise velocity and torque control. A clockwise direction of rotation (viewed from the shaft end) aligns with standard servo motor conventions.

Operational features emphasize reliability and ease of maintenance. The amplifier’s port position (side port) layout and robust mounting type simplify installation in confined spaces, while the RF-type grounding terminal (CN6) ensures operator safety. Auxiliary CN3 and CN4 4-pin connectors manage signal I/O and auxiliary functions, and CN5’s 3-terminal screw terminal accommodates field wiring of power and I/O lines. Status monitoring is provided by NET, MOD, and CHARGE LEDs, offering real-time diagnostics of network activity, firmware mode, and bus capacitor voltage. An optical OP port further expands communication options, and passive cooling through surface ventilation maintains optimal temperature without additional fans.

Integration into complex automation systems is seamless thanks to its standardized flange pattern and pump type consistency across the PV Super Servo Amplifiers product family. The PV2A015SMT1P50-C1 pairs effectively with PLCs, motion controllers, and hydraulic power units to deliver closed-loop position and force control. Its compatibility with industrial fieldbus networks and modular architecture allows for rapid deployment in assembly lines, packaging machinery, and mobile hydraulic equipment. With its combination of high pressure capacity, precise encoder feedback, and robust electrical protection, this servo amplifier offers a versatile solution for demanding industrial applications.
