Kit helps designers check out motors and drives
Greatly simplifying the startup and evaluation of its small motors, the Vario-Lab kit from ebm-papst Automotive and Drives also evaluates the company's motor drive control systems.
Greatly simplifying the startup and evaluation of its small motors, the Vario-Lab kit from ebm-papst Automotive and Drives also evaluates the company's motor drive control systems. A test and development tool, Vario-Lab kit speeds design time and hence time to market for designers aiming to use ebm-papst motors and control electronics in automotive and other applications. The lab kit is aimed at engineers or indeed any individual who needs to evaluate an ebm-papst motor but does not necessarily possess the knowledge and/or facilities to design and fabricate their own drive/control unit.Contained in a polycarbonate housing measuring just 146 x 91mm, the lab kit enables engineers to rapidly control parameters such as speed and direction of a motor by simply connecting a power supply and the motor to the unit via the terminal blocks supplied.
The unit provides an output voltage range of 12-48V and current levels up to 8A.
Analogue (0-10V) or frequency (PWM) speed commands can be used.
Vario-Lab kit can be used with motors that have their own internal control electronics, alternatively with ebm-papst Automotive and Drives' VT-A and VT-D drive controllers.
A version with a cable harness for use with VT-E can also be supplied on request.
ebmpapst has a heritage of manufacturing high quality motors that fulfil the needs of demanding applications across a broad spectrum of industries.
The company's drive technology embraces motors from 1 to 1500W.
For example, the EC range of motors is proudly hailed by the company as a modern day legend.
In the form of internal or external rotor designs, the robust and reliable EC motors are used in medical technology, in computers, the textile and printing industries as well as in many other sectors.
