Unidrive – The Ultimate Universal Drive

0.75 kW – 2.8 MW Heavy Duty
(1.0 hp – 4,200 hp)
200 V | 400 V | 575 V | 690 V

Control Techniques has set the standard in motor control since 1973

Every company has a flagship; a product that leads the charge. For us, it’s Unidrive, our high performance drive family.

Unidrive is the accumulation of almost half a century of motor control expertise, and it is the embodiment of what Control Techniques is all about. Unidrive is our crown jewel.

In 1996, we were the first to integrate the control of multiple motor types into one physical product, and hence the universal drive concept was born.  Now, more than a million motors across the world rely on a Unidrive.

Unidrive integrates, with all of its benefits, seamlessly into your system. Plus, with its scalable control and motion architecture, it’s the drive for what you need today and for where you want to go tomorrow.

• Performance control, matched for every type of motor
• Energy savings through a wide range of features
• Integrated safety and motion safety functions
• Multi-protocol – EtherNet/IP or PROFINET RT, with Modbus/TCP and RTMoE simultaneously
• Effortless system integration into PLC architectures
• Scalable [machine] control
• Application programming
• High power modules and pre-assembled cubicle drives
• Global Drive Obsessives

Unidrive M700

0.75 kW – 2.8 MW (1.0 – 4,200 hp)
200 V / 400 V / 575 V / 690 V

The bread and butter of Control Techniques is honing our unique motor control algorithms, taking pride in our craft as any good craftsman would. This ensures that our Unidrive M series drives offer the highest control stability and bandwidth for every industrial motor type. 

Unidrive M enables maximum machine throughput in every application and with every motor, from standard AC induction motors to dynamic linear motors and from energy saving hybrid permanent-magnet motors to high performance servo motors.
