Which Micro-Speed® Ultra™ should I use within my application?

Use this Ultra™ selection guide to help match the correct model version to your application.

Which of the following best describes your application type?
Select an option to start the selection guide.
Does your travel (or other general heavy-duty) application need ultra-precise, closed-loop positioning control (rare)?
Does your hoist/lifting apparatus have a mechanical load brake?
The MX-Ultra™ (Traverse Models) are recommended for this type of application. Select this option below.
The MX-Ultra™ (Hoisting Models) are recommended for this type of application. Select this option below.
The MV-Ultra™ (Closed-Loop, No-load-brake Hoisting) models are required for hoists without a mechanical load brake (or equivalent). Select this model option below.

An external encoder and a hoist regen resistor will also be required with this type of drive (see MV-Ultra™ product pages for details).
The MV-Ultra™ (Closed-Loop) models are specialized vectoring drives, intended for use with an external encoder. The "travel" versions of the MV-Ultra™ models are not listed on our website, but you can find the information you will need (sizing, ratings, etc.) by viewing the MV-Ultra™ Hoist models.

When you find the model you need there, let us know that you need a TRAVEL version of the unit when you request your quote.
For a hoist/lifting application, finding out whether there is a mechanical load brake is critical. But if that is unknown at this time, we recommend viewing the MX-Ultra™ (Hoisting Models) to learn more about the Ultra features. **However it is critical to note that the MX-Ultra™ hoisting models are only intended for use in hoising applications WITH a mechanical load brake.**

If you find out later that there IS NOT a mechanical load brake in your hoist application, you will need to change the model to the equivalent MV-Ultra™ version.
If you are unsure about the need for closed-loop control on your traverse application, chances are good that you do NOT need it. In this case, we recommend visiting the MX-Ultra™ (Traverse Models) page to start. Select this option below.
