MOVIGEAR® classic drive unit

Energy-efficient powerhouse

Are you looking for an efficient drive unit? With MOVIGEAR^® classic, you can benefit from motor efficiency class IE5 right away. Moreover, the MOVIGEAR^® classic drive unit's new hygienic design offers a perfect solution for use in systems with special ambient conditions.

Gear unit and permanent magnet synchronous motor

The MOVIGEAR^® classic drive unit consists of a permanent-field synchronous motor and a gear unit in a compact aluminum die cast housing. It can be combined intelligently with an inverter installed close to the motor or in the control cabinet. This gives you an ideal level of flexibility for your particular system situation –

an integrated drive unit comprising a permanent magnet synchronous motor and a gear unit
0.4 – 3.0 kW available in three gear unit sizes
Motor energy efficiency class IE5 to IEC TS 60034-30-2

With MOVIGEAR^® classic, a high level of energy efficiency is even possible in the lower power range . Our smallest option, size 1, ensures this is the case. For example, it is ideal for use in conveyor applications that require low torques between 10 and 100 Nm.

The MOVIGEAR^® classic drive unit is our compact powerhouse. Even in the lowest power range, it impresses with maximum efficiency. Take a look at the facts about MOVIGEAR^® classic and see for yourself!

Digital motor and data integration

Single-cable technology for power supply and data transfer with digital encoder for synchronous and asynchronous motors

In fact, only one hybrid cable is required and installed here for the data connection between inverter and motor, and the MOVILINK^® DDI digital data interface transfers the power, brake and diagnostic data to the motor.
