With the 1FW3 heavy duty torque motor, Siemens Drive Technologies is offering a new direct drive that fulfils all requirements for metal forming machines. The permanent-magnet excited synchronous motor is designed with extremely high mechanical strength to withstand the shock loads prevalent in metal forming.
Increased product variety and smaller batch sizes are the challenges that companies face in the field of metal forming. Siemens Drive Technologies offers products and individual solutions for both press manufacturers and users that increases productivity and uses energy efficiently.
The new 1FW3 heavy duty torque motor is an important building block in this programme. Machining processes in metal forming are subjected to extreme mechanical stresses because large forces have to be applied. The 1FW3 motor is ideally suited to the task of following the challenging profiles of higher-level motion controllers even under harsh operating conditions. In contrast to motor and gearbox combinations, the 1FW3 is characterised not only by its enhanced ruggedness, but also by its compactness. These features have proved that the heavy duty motor is well-suited for use as a main drive in servo presses.
