Overview
The Mitsubishi MR-J2S-500B is a high-performance AC servo amplifier from the MELSERVO J2S series, delivering 5 kW of continuous rated output for reliable motion control in demanding industrial applications. This drive unit pairs with compatible Mitsubishi servo motors to provide smooth, precise positioning and speed control across a range of manufacturing and automation tasks.
Key Features
- 5 kW Rated Output — delivers 21.7 A continuous current at 230 VAC, supporting mid-range servo motor applications
- SSCNET III/H Communication — high-speed serial bus control enables synchronized multi-axis motion and reduced wiring complexity
- Integrated Dynamic Brake — built-in holding and safety braking function minimizes external components
- Advanced Gain Search Algorithm — auto-tuning feature optimizes motor shaft gain response to variable loads for stable performance
- Comprehensive Protection — overcurrent, regenerative overvoltage, overload, overspeed, and motor overheat protection
- Flexible Power Input — supports both single-phase and three-phase 200-230 VAC (50/60 Hz) operation
