Motors & Drives

An ATEX-compliant, decentralised frequency inverter that not only is particularly economical in operation but also comes in protection class IP 69K, is being offered by NORD DRIVESYSTEMS with the NORDAC BASE – SK 180E. This aims to guarantee the complete sealing of the housing, even for processing applications which require frequent high pressure cleaning.

A specialist rewind facility for submersible pump motors within its existing IECEx accredited service facility has been added by Rapid Solutions, an AEMT member based in Azerbaijan. As a result, it has cut time-to-completion massively and won a prestigious order from one of the Caspian Regions Oil and Gas Industries major operators. 

  Supplier of sensor solutions, industrial controls, power management, and electrical protection, Sensata Technologies, has announced a new white paper, ‘How Advanced Precision Motors Can Empower the IoT and Industry 4.0’.

  Simplifying the design of low to mid power motor controls in the 7V-45V range, the STSPIN830 and STSPIN840 single-chip drivers from STMicroelectronics contain flexible control logic and low-RDS(ON) power switches for industrial applications, medical technology, and home appliances.

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers decentralised drives, with which even demanding applications, such as synchronised movement and flying saw, can be implemented easily. An integrated PLC and position control within the frequency inverters enables the synchronisation of several drives in master/slave operation.

Danfoss Drives is celebrating fifty years of designing and manufacturing AC variable speed drives with products that can be applied to most sectors of industry. In 1968, Danfoss was the first company to mass produce AC drives and since then, it has maintained its position as an expert in drive technology and solutions.

A low inertia hollow core voice coil or moving coil linear motor from Moticont, the HVCM-051-025-019-01, features high acceleration, precise positioning to less than one micron, high reliability, and low cost. This cleanroom friendly, non-commutated motor is available off-the-shelf.

Supplier of sensor solutions, industrial controls, power management, and electrical protection, Sensata Technologies, has released a new white paper (What Design Engineers Need to Know about VCA Technology) that covers the current state of Voice Coil Technologies for a variety of linear motion applications.

The two-stage SK 02040.1 helical worm gear unit from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has been redesigned as the new SK 02040.1 is made from high strength aluminium and replaces the previous cast iron product. The one-piece die cast UNICASE housing guarantees maximum strength and rigidity with low weight. In addition, aluminium is considerably more corrosion-resistant than steel and can be further protected with the aid of additional measures such as the highly effective nsd tupH surface treatment.

To meet the demands posed by special environmental conditions and high hygiene requirements, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS developed the nsd tupH (Sealed Surface Conversion System) anti-corrosion treatment: an innovative surface treatment making aluminium drives extremely robust and durable.
