Original Delta ASDA-B3 Series Servo Drive & AC Motor 24-bit System
Experience the next level of motion control with the Delta ASDA-B3 Series High-Performance Servo System. Engineered for precision and speed, the B3 series features a 24-bit (16,777,216 pulses/rev) high-resolution encoder that ensures absolute positioning accuracy and smooth low-speed operation. With an industry-leading 3.1 kHz frequency response and a 40% reduction in frame size compared to its predecessor, the ASDA-B3 is the ideal solution for high-speed packaging, electronics assembly, and precision CNC applications. This versatile system supports multiple communication protocols including EtherCAT, CANopen, and Pulse/Analog control, providing the flexibility needed for modern smart manufacturing.
Product Highlights
- Ultra-High 24-bit Encoder: Delivers 16.7 million pulses per revolution, dramatically improving positioning accuracy and reducing torque ripple.
- Superior 3.1 kHz Bandwidth: Higher frequency response ensures shorter settling times and significantly increases machine productivity.
- Massive Space Saving: Compact drive design reduces footprint by up to 40%, allowing for smaller control cabinets and optimized machine layout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the ASDA-B3 compatible with older B2 series cables?
A: While the power and encoder cables are improved for B3, specific adapters or new B3-dedicated cables are recommended for optimal performance and noise immunity.
Q: Does the B3 series support absolute positioning without a battery?
A: Yes, with the 24-bit absolute encoder, the system can maintain position data without an external battery for specific configurations (verify motor suffix).
Q: How much better is the 24-bit encoder compared to the B2 series?
A: The B3's 24-bit encoder has 128 times more resolution than the 17-bit encoder found in the B2, providing much smoother motion and tighter control.
Q: What communication protocols are supported?
A: The B3 family includes models for EtherCAT (-E), CANopen (-M), Pulse/Analog (-L), and DMCNET (-F).
Q: Can I use the B3 drive with a different brand's motor?
A: We strongly recommend using original Delta ECMA-B3 series motors to leverage the auto-tuning and 24-bit encoder features.
Q: Does it have built-in vibration suppression?
A: Yes, the B3 features advanced notch filters and end-point vibration suppression to eliminate resonance in mechanical structures.
Q: What is the typical lead time for a complete motor+drive kit?
A: Standard models up to 750W are usually in stock and ship in 2-3 days. Larger power ratings may take 2-4 weeks.
