SIMOTICS SD next generation – performance meets digitalization
The new generation of SIMOTICS SD low-voltage motors offers decisive advantages of being ready for digitalization. It enables you to optimize your processes because the units become embedded in your digital enterprise. As a result of the smaller envelope dimensions, the new design sports a high power density. The motors come in three variants:
- SIMOTICS SD: In addition to their exceptionally high reliability, what’s particularly convincing about the SIMOTICS SD series motors is their high starting and breakaway torques. And with SIMOTICS CONNECT – a sensor box mounted on the motor – these motors are IQ-ready.
- SIMOTICS SD Add: With their low starting currents and global certificates, the SIMOTICS SD Add variant can be deployed in all major global regions and markets. What’s more, their low starting currents not only meets industry-specific requirements and specifications of the process industry, but also helps improve operational quality.
- SIMOTICS SD Pro: The third version is characterized by their outstanding flexibility and scalability. SIMOTICS SD Pro provides you with motors that you can use anywhere in the world – in any system or plant configuration you wish. Either it´s connected to the line supply or to a converter with up to 690 V. One particular highlight is the unique combination of important global certificates, multi-voltage capability, and stable efficiency levels based on IE3, regardless of whether the network frequency is 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
