Core Technology and Design Highlights

1. Modular and compatibility design

MODULOG modular installation system:

Support the installation of brake, rotary encoder, independent drive fan and other components in the later stage. The components are in stock and have a short delivery cycle, which can flexibly adapt to different functional requirements.

SIMOLOC axis connection system:

Replacing traditional hollow shaft keyways, shrink discs, or spline connections, it has lower costs, easier installation, and is suitable for fast docking between gear motors and loads.

Market standard compatibility:

Unified installation dimensions (shaft height, flange size, torque arm installation hole position, output shaft diameter) ensure 1:1 replacement with existing equipment, reducing renovation and upgrade costs.

2. Energy efficiency and reliability design

High energy efficiency motor:

Covering IE2-IE4 energy efficiency levels, with a mechanical efficiency of ≥ 96% for Level 2 helical level gear motors. Compared to traditional Level 3 gear motors (with an efficiency of 94%), the energy-saving effect is more significant, reducing long-term operating costs.

Durable structure:

The gearbox housing is made of aluminum (small size) or cast iron (large size) material, and the car washing special type is a one-piece die cast aluminum housing without bearing end caps and installation caps, reducing the number of failure points; The seal is made of NBR material, which is resistant to chemical spraying and high humidity environments.

Security function:

The integrated frequency converter model supports Safe Torque Off (STO) safety function, without the need for additional external components, meeting industrial safety standards.

3. Digital capability

Accessing MindSphere:

Gear motors can be connected to Siemens' industrial IoT cloud platform MindSphere, and through the Analyze MyDrive application, equipment status visualization, data analysis, and predictive maintenance can be achieved, reducing unexpected shutdowns and extending equipment lifespan.

Engineering Integration:

Support TIA Portal fully integrated engineering environment, seamlessly collaborate with components such as SIMATIC PLC and SINAMICS frequency converter, simplify programming and debugging processes.
