Motor/drive combo ideal for simple tasks
The SIEIDrive KFM 05 is an integrated inverter duty motor with frequency inverter drive, encoder feedback and axis I/O suitable for simple, low power, single axis motion control applications. The compact unit includes an RS232 port for programming, parameter set-up and diagnostics using Gefran's E@syDrives PC-based configuration software as well as an optional Profibus-DP interface for full axis control.
The KFM 05 is aimed at medium precision motion and speed control applications where full servomotor based systems would be unnecessarily expensive. The integrated design allows extremely straightforward installation with minimal wiring and as all filtering is included, full EMC compliance is guaranteed.
With a 230V AC, 50Hz single-phase supply the IP54 rated unit is available in a choice of 4- and 6-pole versions to provide up to 2.8Nm of torque at 1750 rpm with generous overload ratings. An IP44 rated 4-pole force cooled version is available for torques to 1.9Nm and speeds to 2550 rpm. The KFM 05 includes a standard B14 IEC mounting flange which allows straightforward gearbox interfacing if required.
