Motors & drives Buehler Motor to Expand North American Industrial Sales with New Motor Offerings usage of existing installation space while accommodating customer-specified cable lengths and connectors to complete the electrical interface. Additionally, the new motors offer a wide range of shaft designs, including flats, threads, cross bore, and drive elements such as pinions, pulleys and worm gears that can be attached according to customer specifications. Buehler Motor, Inc. has introduced a new series of 63 mm permanent magnet brushed (PMDC) motor designs available in North America for integration into commercial applications. Intended for applications such as building automation, including commercial door systems and window actuators, the PMDC motors offer flexible design with high power output, quiet operation and long life. Initial production applications have been validated by customers with high-volume production of 400 series models beginning in the summer of 2011. Additional models, including the 200 and 000 series with specific power rating, will also be introduced. Both ends of the Buehler 63 mm PMDC motors feature identical end covers that offer a variety of mounting options, including a reduction gear or various accessories such as a lowresolution magnetic encoder and high-resolution optical encoder. The flexible end design also allows for attachment of an electromagnetic brake. The motor’s power cables are designed to allow for both radial and axial exit from the motor. This allows for optimum Industrial AC Variable Frequency Drives for Fans, Pumps and Conveyors Hitachi America, Ltd., Industrial Components and Equipment Division, has introduced the L700 series of industrial AC variable frequency drives. The L700 significantly expands on the performance, capabilities and functions of its predecessor, the L300P. Hitachi has broadened the applicability of this series by incorporating the improved sensorless vector (SLV) control algorithm that was first developed for the SJ700 series. This allows the L700 to develop 150 percent torque at 0.5 Hz, well suited for a wide range of applications beyond just fans and pumps. The L700 also has a number of features built in that make the commissioning process quick and trouble-free. Another upgrade in the L700 is Hitachi’s EzSQ (Easy Sequence) built-in programming function, which provides the functionality of a PLC built into the inverter. In many cases, the need for a separate PLC can be eliminated due to this internal capability. The program is developed on a PC and then down- 24 2011 Resource Guide www.e-DriveOnline.com http://www.alliedmotion.com http://www.sikoproducts.com http://www.sikoproducts.com http://www.alliedmotion.com http://www.e-DriveOnline.com
