Original Press Release:
Next Stage Ignited; Performance Range of the DA Motor Series Moves Upwards
Nuremberg.The Baumuller group has increased the performance range of its DA asynchronous motor series in the form of the DA 280 model. With power of up to 450 kW, this now represents a competitive alternative to standard IEC motors.
From 260 to 450 kW: This performance increase has been made possible by specifically expanding the range of DA motors. The new DA 280 is an outstanding dynamic drive with high power density. With rated output of up to 450 kW, it represents a real alternative to the standard IEC motors that are currently in use. Compared to these motors, the design of the DA 280 is much more compact and robust. This is an important factor in helping to reduce the dimensions of the drive components in customer applications.
The three-phase motor that was previously top of the range, the DA 225, generated up to 260 kW. In future the DA 280 will mainly be used in the plastics industry and the general motion area (e.g. with flying cutters). Air cooled and water cooled versions of the DA main drives are available. The former version is available with protection class IP23, and the latter is available with IP54. This means that the existing concept of cooling and protection class variants has been consistently continued in this new size.
Customer demand for a continuous Baumuller product range in the three-phase current area was the motivation for the upwards expansion of the DA motor series. The DA 280 is currently undergoing trials at customer sites. Series production of the motors is due to commence in early 2006.
