Protecting the climate with energy efficiency Use power efficiently, reduce CO2 emissions and reduce operating costs

You can act now with a view to the future The objective is the highly efficient drive axis In focus: efficiency increase on asynchronous motors Saving energy with constant speed drives Energy efficiency in drive technology is the sum of small and large measures. As a rule the motor is the focus of the assessment. The subject of energy efficiency in drive technology concentrates on the optimization of the use of energy by asynchronous motors. Drives with a constant operating speed do not need an inverter, if speed and torque can be defined using a gear unit. STÖBER ANTRIEBSTECHNIK already...

Servo motors form the basis for the highest efficiency The forward-looking alternative: SMS servo motors operate highly efficiently Asynchronous motors and permanent magnet servo motors in comparison The comparison of asynchronous motors of class eff2/IE1 and permanent magnet servo motors in the power range up to 10 kW shows the dramatic difference between the two motor systems. The result throws up the question as to how sensible it is, in terms of energy efficiency and the Eco-design Power range Efficiency* Ø efficiency Ø losses directive, to continue to develop asynchronous motors for...

The potential savings are manifold Highly efficient axes due to functional harmony New, performance-optimized servo geared motor As a system manufacturer STÖBER ANTRIEBSTECHNIK supplies gear units, motors, cables, inverters and software, optimally matched, from a single source. Of particular advantage is the integrated design of the geared motors, as a result a coupling is not required. Also correspondingly fewer seals are required and as a result the friction loss reduced. The SMS right angle servo geared motor represents a new energyoptimized type of drive. The highly rigid and fully...

Climate protection has many allies Energy efficiency in industrial processes. The need for action in the coming years The initial situation in terms of energy for the coming decade is marked by the scarcity of fossil fuels and the trend to climate change. In the past four decades the worldwide demand for primary energy has doubled. Rapidly growing economies have caused the flows of energy to take a new turn and re- sulted in a scarcity of supply with a corresponding effect on prices. The climatic and economic effects are having an impact on the regulatory situation at national and European...

Energy optimized processes The basis for successful energy efficiency is the clarification of the exact requirement for mechanical power. During the design of the geared motor, an excessive 'safety margin' should not be applied. Motion control and axis regulation are to be included in a holistic energy efficiency assessment of a machine or automation system. If motors with over-dimensioned power reserves are used, they will continuously operate below their power rating. In the context of energy efficiency this situation is counter-productive. In addition to the low efficiency with...
