Motion Controllers
ERNTEC offers a range of compact Motion controllers optimised to drive FAULHABER DC motors.
The range is wide and has recently expanded to include an entirely new generation of controller products.
Motion controllers can drive DC brushed motors (precious metal or copper graphite commutation), DC (3-phase) brushless motors and Faulhabers Linear Servo Drive and DC Stepper motors.
Legacy MC2.5 Controllers
Faulhabers legacy (MC2.5) motion controllers provide high performance motion control (velocity, position) in a small compact package. With these controllers you can
- Track a course that the motor will follow
- Make commands proportional to position
- Closed Loop speed control with feed back sensors
- Control position with a PI/PID filter
Summary of MC2.5 Products
| Series | Min Voltage (V) | Max Voltage (V) | Continuous Current Icont (A) | Peak Current, Ia (A) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MCxx 3002 sss | 5 | 30 | 2 | 3 | V2.5, 4-Quadrant PWM with RS232 or CAN interface |
| MCxx 3003 sss | 12 | 30 | 3 | 10 | V2.5, 4-Quadrant PWM with RS232 or CAN interface |
| MCxx 3006 sss | 12 | 30 | 6 | 10 | V2.5, 4-Quadrant PWM with RS232 or CAN interface |
Options Key:
xx=BL – For DC brushless motor
xx=DC – For DC brushed motor
xx=LM – For DC linear servo motor
sss=AES – For Absolute encoder AES 4096

MC3001 Motion Controller
Faulhaber have released new motion controllers, available as part of MC V3.0 generation for the lower end of the performance spectrum.
The new MC 3001 controllers are unhoused units and can control DC micromotors, linear DC-servomotors or brushless DC-motors in the FAULHABER product line from 6 to 30 mm diameter by utilising an integrated output stage.
These controllers are very small but also very powerful for their size. The flexibility to integrate them is ideal for robotics, automation, machine construction, medical devices, and laboratory technology. Especially where limited space is available but high control dynamics and high performance is required.
There are two variants:
- MC3001 B which can be plugged into a motherboard with a board-to-board connector.
- MC3001 P which can be plugged into a motherboard via a 28-pin plug connector.
MC3001 Features
- Can deliver 1.4A in continuous operation and up to 5A peak current.
- Excellent EMC behaviour (certified by external laboratories).
- Very compact – height from 2.6 mm and a format from 16×27 mm
- MC V3.0 generation interfaces (RS232 and CANopen) and encoder interfaces.
- Intelligent driver module, well suited for installation in customer-specific applications.
- Full thermal protection of the motors is ensured with the integrated thermal models and by means of the high PWM frequency.
- To help customers quickly and easily get to work on the development of their drive system, FAULHABER offers a starter kit that includes, among other things, a motherboard and makes it easier to get started.

The FAULHABER group.
On the Faulhaber website there is a comprehensive selector tool and access to datasheets and information about the technology. An overview of the company is in the downloads below.
Our team is available to help walk you through the FAULHABER selection process and explain the implications of the calculations carried out using the tool.
We can assist with advice on:
- Working out your operating point
- Advice on the results you are getting form the selector tool
- Sample and customisation to suit your application
