For many drive users, designing and building a high power drive enclosure requires extensive in house engineering expertise and time that they do not have.

  • Pre-engineered, Highly Configurable
  • Industry Best Lead-times
  • Ready-to-ship units available
  • Easy to Service, Compact Design

Control Techniques' Unidrive DFS (Drive Free Standing)is a pre-assembled, ready to install drive enclosure system designed for use in high power applications to deliver optimum motor control and energy efficiency. These enclosed drive solutions are available in both UL Type 12 / NEMA 12 enclosures, and UL Type 3R / NEMA 3R enclosures.

Save engineering cost, resource, and time through easy configuration of quality packaged drive systems that are highly adaptable for stand-alone applications, or ready to integrate into a broader system suite. So if you have applications requiring motor controls for a variable speed drive motor our AC motor controllers are extremely reliable and are IN STOCK now for immediate shipping. Items not in stock carry our industry best lead-time's.
