Lightweight & Micro Sized Servo Drive Module
The Dual-Axis Mite is one of the most unique extreme duty servo modules available on the market. Like other drives from ESI Motion, the Dual-Axis Mite is a combination of our durable control module and power driver modules. Unlike other drive systems, however, the Dual-Axis Mite offers a ruggedized solution in a package that is a fraction of the size and weight of units with similar capabilities.
The Dual-Axis Mite is perfect for many applications including robotics, space, industrial and military! If you need a Single-Axis version check out the Single-Axis Mite
Micro Packaging & Giant Ability
ESI’s Dual-Axis Mite is the latest innovative solution in our highly capable servo drive module options. Equipment that must perform in extreme environments at a small scale is suited perfectly to this unique system.
To achieve this level of performance, the Dual-Axis Mite is strategically packaged in a potted plastic case, allowing for extreme durability in a compact size. This versatile servo unit is ideal for any precision military, aviation, automotive, robotic, or specialized industrial application where size and weight are paramount. Unlike a typical control unit of this scale, our servo drive, like its larger cousins, is engineered to withstand conditions that would destroy other devices.
What Can The Dual-Axis Mite Do For You?
The Dual-Axis Mite is as configurable as it is compact. No two systems are alike and our servo controllers give you the ability to specify a wide range of options to fit your needs. Our engineers are available to work with your engineering team to configure the Dual-Axis Mite according to your project requirements. We can help you design the perfect variation quickly and efficiently, as well as determine production needs. Contact ESI Motion to begin working with our team on your servo drive solution today!

I/O Board for the Mite Servo Drive Modules
The Mite I/O Board is an optional circuit board that may be purchased in addition to the Mite Servo Drive Module. The I/O Board provides users with a platform to use for system development that will mate with the Mite Servo Drive Module prior to the design of a user-defined board. The Mite I/O Board provides all connections necessary for motor control, with convenient lab environment connectors for each signal and voltage group.
Refer to the Mite Datasheet (ESI Document 100236) for the electrical characteristics of each signal and voltage.
A 5V regulator is used on the I/O Board to power both the Mite Servo Drive Module controller (VLOGIC) and external motor feedback devices (up to 2.5A).
Note: An I/O board that will be used with VDC_IN (VBUS) greater than 75V requires the 5V regulator to be disabled. An I/O Board purchased with a Mite Servo Drive Module that is rated for 170V will already have the 5V regulator disabled. In this case, a separate 5V input voltage must be supplied.
