The modular system offers five trans­mis­sion types. Three plan­e­tary gears in various designs: the Noise­less Plus (for example for medical tech­nology), the partic­u­larly econom­ical Performax Plus and the robust Optimax for high torques and with over­load capa­bility. If the motor force has to be deflected around a corner, angular gear­boxes are used: EtaCrown with crown stage and the partic­u­larly compact EtaCrown Plus with addi­tional plan­e­tary stage.

The right motor is at the heart of every drive. Three different motor types (ECI, VDC, BCI) with the corre­sponding output power, instal­la­tion length and voltage are avail­able. As a prin­ciple, all motors are supplied with sepa­rated extra-low voltage (<60 volts).

Oper­ating a motor on an external controller with torque control requires a sensor that provides infor­ma­tion on where the shaft is rela­tive to the stator.

Various types of brakes are avail­able to select from. The stan­dard is a holding brake that oper­ates using a spring force prin­ciple. However, an oper­ating current brake can also be used.

An encoder is required as a sensor to perform posi­tioning tasks in the appli­ca­tion. Various stan­dards are avail­able here: 360 degree reso­lu­tion, 360 degree reso­lu­tion plus rota­tion count and customer-specific encoders, for example for Siemens controllers.

Does the drive need to be able to run at speed reli­ably, master precise posi­tioning or be ready for IoT, predic­tive main­te­nance, and condi­tion moni­toring with inte­grated intel­li­gence? The modular system offers the right K-elec­tronics for each require­ment with increasing complexity.

K1 for oper­a­tion on an external controller;
analog input

K3 for inter­nally controlled speed
control; analog input

K4 for posi­tioning tasks; digital input

K5 for complex tasks; bus inter­faces: CANopen, EtherCAT, ProfiNett

Elec­trical hookup: straight or angled connector types, PG screw connec­tion
Func­tional safety: K4 and K5 elec­tronics offer “Safe Torque Off ”
Degree of protec­tion: the stan­dard is IP54, but IP65 can also be selected
External modules: they can also be added behind the elec­tronics (for example, a second trans­mis­sion, a certi­fied brake)
