MOVIGEAR® performance drive unit

  • MOVIGEAR® performance drive unit on a gray concrete platform

    An ingenious compact all-rounder – complete and efficient

Decentralized drive technology couldn't be more intelligent, lean, efficient and cost-effective than this. The MOVIGEAR® performance drive unit combines motor, gear unit and inverter in a single housing. What's more, the decentralized inverter from the MOVI‑C® modular automation system means the drive unit can be used in all standard Ethernet-based infrastructures.

MOVIGEAR® drive unit performance

MOVIGEAR® performance drive unit

Based on the MOVI‑C® modular automation system, we have further enhanced our MOVIGEAR® drive unit for your benefit. MOVIGEAR® performance complements existing products in terms of functionality and consistency and extends the range of possible applications for our decentralized drive technology, which has been proving its worth for decades.

The MOVIGEAR® performance drive unit consists of a decentralized inverter, a permanent-field synchronous motor and a gear unit. These three core components are located in a single compact aluminum die cast housing.

Thanks to its integrated digital interface, no additional installation is required for transfer of the electronic nameplate and various sensor signals between motor and inverter. Communication takes place via fieldbus interfaces such as PROFINET IO, EtherNet/IPTM and Modbus TCP, and also via integrated, digital inputs and outputs. This makes MOVIGEAR® performance the perfect solution for dynamic conveyor applications.

The new drive unit stands out with its compact design and high overload capacity. By meeting the requirements for the highest motor energy efficiency class – IE5 to IEC TS 60034-30-2 – and the maximum system efficiency to IEC 61800-9-2, MOVIGEAR® performance surpasses all market-standard solutions to date.
