Cutting the costs
April 1st 2008

A new family of compact frequency inverters from Nord Gear UK can be adapted to suit specific applications – from simple speed control of AC motors – to complex movement automation. A 200% overload capability will in many cases allow a smaller inverter drive to be selected, cutting as much as 10% off typical equipment costs.

Motor torques of 200% nominal level can be delivered at zero speed.

This level of performance and precision control can, in many instances, allow low-cost AC motor equipment to be used in place of much more expensive motion controller and servomotor based automation.Called the Nordac SK500, the new inverter family spans power output ratings from 0.25 to 7.5 kW, covering a large range of common industrial applications, and comes complete with integrated RFI filters.
