Compact drives
These drive systems designed to provide high power density with minimal space requirements. This type of drive is often used in applications where available space is limited and efficiency and performance are critical.
Features
Compact drives are characterized by high power density, which means that they offer a lot of power in a small space. Due to their compact design, they are usually lighter than conventional drives, which makes them particularly attractive in applications with weight restrictions. Despite their small size, these drives have efficient cooling systems that prevent overheating and therefore ensure reliable operation.
Another feature of compact drives is the integrated electronics: The control electronics and sensors are often integrated directly into the drive system, which simplifies installation and operation. Their robust construction also makes them ideal for harsh environments; they are resistant to vibrations and temperature fluctuations, which increases their service life and reliability.
Overall, compact drives offer a powerful, lightweight and robust solution for a variety of industrial applications.
Applications
Compact drives are ideal for robotics applications due to their size and efficiency. In medical technology, they are often used in medical devices where space and precision are of critical importance. In the automotive industry, compact drives find application in electric vehicles and other automotive components where available space is limited. Their small size and low weight make them particularly valuable in the aerospace sector, where space and weight are crucial. In industrial automation, compact drives are used in machines and production systems that require high precision and a compact design.
VEMoDRIVE
The compact unit consisting of motor and inverter offers significant advantages over separately constructed units. One of the most important advantages is that there are no costs for drive planning. Since the inverter is mounted directly on the motor, there is no need for mounting surfaces for the inverter, which saves space and costs.
The design of these units ensures high vibration resistance and a high degree of protection as standard, resulting in a longer service life. Another technical advantage is that, due to the principle, no output filters are required.
Since no motor cables are required, only unshielded power cables are required, which simplifies cabling. The assembly and installation effort is thereby reduced to a minimum. The commissioning effort is also minimal, so that the unit is ready for operation after a short time.
Overall, these compact units offer an efficient, cost-saving and long-lasting solution for various applications.
Features VEMoDRIVE
VEMoDRIVE Compact can be supplied with the same options that are also available for the motor and inverter components. For the inverter, these are primarily external control units, interfaces (e.g. bus interfaces), but also input and output as well as control modules. The engine includes, among other things: Design, protection class, external fan can be selected, but brakes and encoders can also be installed as options. The control of the brake and the evaluation of the encoder signals in the converter are possible on request.
