Parker Hannifin has recently launched a Micro Drive, AC10 Series. This series comprises AC variable speed micro drives in the 0.2-15 kW range, for general-purpose applications. The AC10 micro drive is one of the smallest variable speed micro-drives available and offers a low cost, compact solution for simple AC induction motor control in applications up to 15 kW. The AC10 micro drive is a simple, reliable and economical solution to every-day motor control applications requiring speed or torque control within the power range of 0.2 kW to 15 kW. Having compact dimensions and features normally only associated with higher specification drives, including, sensorless vector mode, output frequency up to 650 Hz, 3-phase 400 V supplies in all 5 frame sizes and a full 150% overload at 0.5 Hz for 1 minute, AC10 provides an optimised solution for OEM machine builders looking for a compact, cost-effective drive without compromising on performance. Applications: AC10 provides a no-fuss approach to general purpose industrial motor control applications across a wide range of industries, giving users the benefits of the inherent energy-saving properties of using a variable speed drive, as well as the improved reliability and extended service life benefits associated with smoother starting and stopping of regularly cycling loads.
