Kinetix VPC Servo Motor
Description
2022 NED Innovation Award Finalist
Printers and other industrial operators can now improve their energy efficiency and reduce machine complexity with a new fanless version of the Kinetix VPC continuous-duty servo motor from Rockwell Automation. The Kinetix VPC servo motor uses the same interior permanent magnet technology as the original fan version to help operators achieve better performance and higher energy efficiencies.
The motor achieves IE5 energy efficiency ratings. Additionally, by removing the fan the motor further reduces wiring and components, saves even more on energy costs, and is ideal for applications like printing that are sensitive to airflow disturbances.
The VPC family of motors reduces torque ripple, which translates into smoother roll-to-roll web-handling processes critical for high-quality printing, tensioning, and other application-specific tasks.
The Kinetix VPC continuous-duty servo motor has also been tested and verified with PowerFlex 755 AC drives for compatibility. It is available in 3 size frames, 165, 215, and 300 mm.
