Variable-speed gearmotors16

SEW-Eurodrive’s VARIGEAR® and VARIMOT® mechanically-adjustable gearmotors can incorporate any type of SEW modular

gear reduction to deliver low output speeds and high torque for a wide range of variable-speed applications. Low-speed

combinations are possible using helical, parallel shaft helical, helical-bevel and helical-worm gearing. Available in foot- or

flange-mount design, our mechanically variable-speed gear units can also be used without additional reduction for direct

machine drive.

Speed adjustment is typically mechanical using a handwheel, or electromechanical using a servomotor. However, utilizing

pole-changing motors it is possible to expand the speed range of SEW-Eurodrive variable-speed gearmotors even further.

Mechanical stepless speed variation for robust performance

Available in VU and VZ mounting configurations,VARIGEAR® V-belt variable-speed gearmotorsdeliver up to 60 hp, with ratios of 1:4, 1:6or 1:8. In addition to the numerous SEW

gearing combinations possible, their optionalU- or Z-flow configuration allows for simplefine tuning to accommodate variousmachine designs.

17Electronically controlled drives

VFC: With or without encoder feedback,MOVIDRIVE®’s VFC mode provides highdynamics and high speed stability for standard asynchronous applications.

CFC: MOVIDRIVE®’s CFC mode with closed-loop feedback provides forhighly dynamic speed control for both asynchronous AC motors (5000:1speed range) and AC servomotors(>3000:1 speed range). Torque risetimes are extremely short.

MOVIDRIVE® universal motor controllers deliver advanced functionality and versatility for precise

control of asynchronous and permanent magnet synchronous motors, in both conventional and highly

dynamic servo applications. In fact, using an encoder, MOVIDRIVE®’s intelligent control can even be

used to enable asynchronous drives to achieve servo characteristics. Modular and expandable, these

powerful drive inverters offer a versatile, cost-effective control solution for a broad range of drive

applications – from simple to the highly complex.

Available with two control modes, VFC (Voltage Flux Control) and CFC (Current Flux Control),

MOVIDRIVE® provides programmable control for both sensorless vector and closed-loop applications.

MOVIDRIVE® features the intelligent IPOSplus® positioning to sequence control system as a standard

feature. For all applications, IPOSplus® makes no compromises when it comes to precision because

it uses the exact and highly-dynamic control properties of the drive inverter. The user can set the

programming to either Windows® programming or high-level language. Thanks to the direct access

to all the internal inverter parameters, IPOSplus® is fast and flexible. The result is a diverse movement

controller that can be tailored to meet the individual requirements of the system. The variety of

options available in MOVIDRIVE® means that the system can be extended at any time in accordance

with the modular concept.

It is also possible to use the pre-programmed control programs, the application modules.

These application modules or the technology functions "electronic cam disc" and "internal

synchronous operation" enable MOVIDRIVE® to take over the function of a position controller,

flying saw or other application solutions. At the same time, it offers quick parameter settings

rather than time-consuming programming. Simply enter the mechanical data and load the

program in the drive inverter, and it is ready for operation!

In addition to its user-friendly installation,MOVITRAC® 07 offers highly reliable connection technology. EMC-compliantwiring of all motor and control cables issupported by integrated shield clampingoptions.

When a quick, simple electronic control solution is needed, MOVITRAC® 07 is more than

up to the task. This compact variable frequency drive combines many of the features and

functions of its larger relatives, to deliver economical AC motor control for less complex

applications such as pumps, fans, agitators, turntables and conveyors, to name just a few.

19Servomotors

DS/CM synchronous servomotors

SEW-Eurodrive synchronous servomotorsdeliver excellent dynamic performance andcan be very precisely controlled. Their permanent, rare-earth magnets provide lowmass inertia, enabling these motors toquickly deliver high torque in response tospeed change commands. A resolver-basedfeedback system is standard. However,increased flexibility can be achieved with anoptionally mounted high-resolution (sin/cos)absolute encoder.

Highly precise, continuously variable speedcontrol is available using our MOVIDRIVE® ordrive inverters. SEW DS and CM synchronousservomotors can be overloaded up to 400%.An optional fully integrated “fail-safe” discbrake provides reliable holding and emergencybraking, even with the voltage switched off.

Decentralized drive systems20

Decentralized drive control using standard fieldbus communications

A leader in drive decentralization for the better part of a decade, SEW-Eurodrive has engineered unique decentralized

control technology that takes advantage of the proven reliability of standard fieldbus communications, to replace conventional

centralized switchgear, controls and cabling for dramatic savings in materials and installation costs.

Daisy chaining the power and bus communication, the patent-pending SEW-Eurodrive design enables the controller to be

placed on or near the geared motor, not only providing a substantial reduction in branch circuit cabling, but offering related

benefits that include faster system startup, simpler maintenance and easier future expansion.

A simpler, more compact drive solution thatdelivers significant cost benefits

Group motor installation architecture

Fieldbus interfaces. SEW-Eurodrivedecentralized control systems are designedto interface with a variety of standard fieldbus networks. The bus network allowsfor the exchange of important data, includingcontrol, speed, ramp, drive status, fault indication and output current, as well as I/Ostatus and control.

Field distributors. The heart of the decentralized system, SEW’s innovative fielddistributor technology integrates the disconnectswitch, VFD, motor brake control and buscommunications into one unit, acting as ajunction box to route power and communicationsto the individual drives.

Hybrid cables. Specially designed hybridcables combine power transmission, controlvoltage and communications within a singlepre-fabricated shielded cable ensuring optimal EMC shielding. Their fast, easy connection lets you pre-install, stage andtest the system off-site, reducing the plantdowntime required for installation and setup.

SEW-Eurodrive’s decentralized control architecture takes a modular approach, allowing groups of motors to be wired

as an individual motor normally would be. Fully UL and cUL listed, the SEW system meets US National Electric Code

(NEC) requirements for group motor installation. Local I/O connections are via standard M12 sealed micro-connectors

for convenient, low-cost sensor/actuator integration.

21Decentralized drive systems

SEW-Eurodrive’s MOVIMOT® smart gearmotor offers cost-effective sensorless vector control, withor without 4-quadrant braking, for decentralized or centralized variable-speed applications from0.5 to 5 hp. Easily retrofitted in the field, this space-saving VFD mounts directly on standard SEWmotors and is available for all gearing types and mounting options.

In addition, the MOVIMOT® design allows for the connection of an external, fail-safe emergencystop relay, ensuring protection against restart according to safety Category 3 of EN 954-1.

For simpler decentralized applications requiring safe constant-speed bi-directional operation up to 5 hp, SEW-Eurodrive offers the cost-effective MOVI-SWITCH®. This compact and robust gearmotor provides built-in switching and protection, eliminating the cabling and space normallyrequired in the switching cabinet for these functions.
