The Booksize Motor Module portfolio has been further developed to include compatible new C and D type Sinamics S120 Booksize Motor Modules. Siemens has added a number of new devices to the existing 3-30 A range. The 24 A, 45 A and 60 A modules are now available with double overload factor (continuous C-type) and the 24 A modules are additionally available with triple overload factor (discontinuous D-type). With a 33% narrower fit than the existing variants, the new 45 A and 60 A devices are extremely compact, enabling significant space savings in the control cabinet. The maximum current in the 45 A devices has also been increased from 85 A to 90 A, while the 60 A devices now come with a 120 A maximum current instead of the previous 113 A. A completely new addition to the series are the 24 A devices, which will be available as either a C or D type. This closes the gap in the portfolio between 18 A and 30 A options.
Sinamics S120 is a modular drive system for high-performance motion control applications in machine and systems engineering. Users can select from a wide range of coordinated components and functions and combine them to meet their own specific requirements. The Motor Modules (power units) are an integral part of the S120 drive system.
