Bonfiglioli Riduttori S.p.A., a global designer and manufacturer of gearmotors, drive systems and planetary gearboxes, announces a new frequency inverter series, the ACU8 Cabinet Solution, which expands its drive portfolio.Specially designed to meet the customer requirements with a wide range of options, such as PLC functions and feedback sensors, ACU 8 Cabinet solution can be flexibly integrated into any automation process by using either standard control mode or bus communication protocols. More after the jump.

The liquid cooled version does not require a large cooling fan, which makes the ACU 8 suitable for heavy industries with harsh environments in industries like mining, metals and paper.

This six-phase 12-pulse compact drive brings benefits such as cost effectiveness and energy saving by reducing harmonics distortion.

With a high degree of protection (IP54), these compact devices can be installed almost anywhere in the plant. The ACU 8 parallel connection (Modular system above 400 KW) is well optimized by synchronizing AC output current with a view to not using any output filters.

ACU 8 series also offers the Must by controlling either Induction or PM (permanent magnet) motors in sensorless or closed loop control.

Bonfiglioli is committed to providing one of the best products in High Power Density (370), and the most efficient and energy saving solution.
