Overview
The Mitsubishi MR-JN-40A is an AC motion servo amplifier from the MELSERVO JN series, designed for general-purpose servo motor control in industrial automation and motion control applications. This compact 400W (0.4 kW) rated output amplifier integrates both dynamic braking and a built-in regenerative resistor for efficient energy management and smooth deceleration control.
Key Features
- Rated Output: 400W (0.4 kW) with 2.8A nominal current
- Single-Phase Input: 200–230VAC (200V class), 50/60 Hz compatible
- Built-In Dynamic Brake & Regenerative Resistor: Enables fast motor stopping and energy recovery without external components
- Advanced Control Methods: Sine-wave PWM control with current control method; supports point table and program methods
- Comprehensive Protection: Overcurrent shut-off, regenerative overvoltage protection, electronic thermal overload, servo motor overheat protection, encoder fault detection, and sudden power-outage protection
- IP20 Rating: Suitable for industrial control cabinet mounting with adequate cooling
