Motion Control & Drives


A quick solution for simple applications

July 2009 Motion Control & Drives

The new Movitrac LTE B frequency inverter has been designed for speed control of asynchronous motors and is used for implementing tasks in conveyor applications, such as small, modular conveyor belts, pumps and fans. It offers an economical solution with user-friendly operation and fast integration that meets the high quality standards which SEW Eurodrive is known for in the market.

The inverter is available in three sizes in the power range 0,37 to 11,0 kW for 115, 230 and 400 V mains voltages. In addition to the standard version that provides IP20 protection for installation in the control cabinet, an IP55/NEMA 12k version is also available for specific environmental conditions. These units are able to operate reliably in areas exposed to dust or water.

“This Movitrac LTE B boasts 14 configurable parameters which are detailed in an easy to use pull out reference guide. This is really useful as the user doesn’t need to read through a manual to start up the drive. All 14 basic parameters as well as wiring instructions are indicated on the reference card which is part of the drive,” explains SEW-Eurodrive’s electronics manager, Norman Maleka.
