Selection of the MOVIONE® drive unit

Observe the following procedure when selecting the MOVIONE® drive unit:

  1. Selection of a suitable gear unit size
    (Specification: Helical-bevel gear unit)
    • Requirement: The maximum output torque of the gear unit must be greater than the maximum required application torque: Ma max ≥ Mmax.
    • On the basis of the application calculations and taking account of the efficiency, the maximum application torque during startup (first travel section) is Mmax = 145 Nm.
    • Result: Helical-bevel gear units of size K.37 meet this requirement.
  2. Selecting the gear ratio with suitable output speed:
    • Requirement: The application calculations result in a maximum required output speed of nmax = 50 min-1.
    • To achieve a high setting range and an optimum efficiency, the required output speed should be achieved as precisely as possible at an input speed of ne = nN = 1400 min-1 (nominal motor speed with star connection).
    • Result: As there is no ideal gear ratio
      for the selected gear unit, the next smaller gear ratio available = 24.99 is selected.
    • There are no external overhung loads acting on the gear shaft in this example.
  3. Selecting a suitable motor:
    • Requirement: Select a motor/inverter combination that can provide at least at peak performance.
    • Result: Select the DRN80MK4 motor with the assigned inverter from the following table (from chapter "Technical data").

  1. Checking further topics:
    • Feasibility of the selected motor/gear unit combination
    • Service factor
  2. Checking the setting range:
    • Setting range of the application
    • This means the standard setting range of 1:10 (star connection) is sufficient.
  3. Thermal check of the MOVIONE® drive unit
    • Requirement: In order to avoid thermal problems, the effective torque requirement of the application must be smaller than the continuous output torque of the drive unit.
    • The effective torque requirement (including the efficiency of the application) is 45.1 Nm, which corresponds to a torque requirement of at the motor shaft.
    • The selected motor/inverter combination DRN80MK4 with the assigned inverter has a nominal torque of 3.65 Nm.
    • Result: The requirements are met.
