Eaton enhanced its range of PowerXL DC1 variable speed drives with the addition of new torque and motor-speed control functions that enable machine and system builders to access applications involving extreme load fluctuations.
The ST Series linear motor from Dunkermotoren is available with Profinet drive, DME 230x4 so extends the range which already offers CANopen and EtherCAT drive options.
WEG presents the new MVW3000 series of variable speed drives for voltages from 2.3 to 8kV and power levels from 280 to 2,400kW.
A new range of AC Servo Drives which provide simple and fast commissioning, maximum machine throughput and operational reliability has been introduced by Yaskawa.
Eaton’s whitepaper, “Enhance reliability with the right drives protection”, advises machine builders how to avoid nuisance tripping of Residual Current Devices (RCDs) when they are used with variable frequency drives.
