Discontinuation of 637F & 638 Servo Drive Family

As a registered supplier and integrator of Parker SSD drives, we wanted to let you know that as from 30th June 2018 Parker Hannifin’s Electromechanical & Drives Division Europe (EMDE) will be discontinuing the sale of the complete 637F and 638 servo drive family due to problems with sourcing key components.

637F

Last Order Date: 30th June 2018 (depending on availability)
Obsolescence Date: 31st December 2018

638

Last Order Date: 30th June 2018 (depending on availability)
Obsolescence Date: 31st July 2018

Repairs

Repairs and services will remain active for the time being depending on the availability of components. 637F & 638 drives can still be sent in for evaluation and repair. The standard time for the repairs is 1 month.

Suggested Replacement

Direct replacements for the 637F & 638 drive family are not available. For help finding a suitable alternative please email sales@optimacs.com
In many applications, new machines or systems, servo drive families like PSD, Compax3 will fit well, but this needs to be discussed in more detail.

The new drive families offer a lot of advantages, like new feedback technology, a wide range of Ethernet based communication interfaces and cost savings.

If you have any other questions please contact your account manager.

Yours Sincerely,

Optima Control Solutions, Blackburn
