Selection of the MOVIONE® drive unit
Observe the following procedure when selecting the MOVIONE® drive unit:
- 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.
- 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 i = 24.99 is selected. - There are no external overhung loads acting on the gear shaft in this example.
- 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").

- Checking further topics:
- Feasibility of the selected motor/gear unit combination
- Service factor
- Checking the setting range:
- Setting range of the application

- This means the standard setting range of 1:10 (star connection) is sufficient.

- 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.
