Scots Bearing Ltd are proud to promote the Lenze SMVector Range of frequency inverters, perfect for control on out-door applications.
Benefits;
Sun protection
An IP65 ingress protected inverter drive is designed for use in situations where there is moisture present, and since many of those situations are outdoors, Lenze offers an SMVector IP65 drive with a UV protected enclosure. Some plastics can become brittle after extended exposure to direct sunlight so this version of the SMVector has a polycarbonate enclosure. The polycarbonate replaces the usual ABS plastic and is far hardier when exposed to UV.
Outdoor combination
The combination of water protection and UV protection means that a huge range of outdoor equipment can benefit from precise speed control, smooth start-up, energy saving and built-in operating modes for common applications such as fans and pumps without the need for a bulky and expensive secondary control cabinet.
Flexible
An inverter drive like the SMVector is protected from oil mist, wash-down with diluted cleaning fluids, rain, atmospheric moisture or low pressure water jets, it is also a very clean alternative to gearboxes, belts and chains that produce oil leaks, oil mist, dust and debris.
Remove the need for cabinets
Self-protection
Using IP65 ingress protected drives provides protection from: dust, dirt, debris, oil mist, atmospheric moisture, low pressure water jets, mild acids and alkalis, food products and diluted cleaning products.
Cost reduction
This means that in many applications there is no need for expensive and bulky control cabinets. Using this drive can drastically reduce the cost and footprint of a machine’s controls, regardless of whether it is being installed by an OEM, an automation systems company or an electrical contractor on general machinery, fans, pumps, and HVAC installations.
Improved reliability
While ingress protection might not be essential at all times on an indoor production line, using a sealed IP65 protected drive can improve reliability; the drive does not require a secondary control cabinet to protect it from occasional atmospheric moisture, and airborne debris which is the main reason for drive failures.
Flexibility
No cabinet means the drive can be positioned closer to the motor, meaning that each installation can be free from external cabinets, this reduces wiring and installation time, it also means that equipment is easier to move and re-configure, essential for today’s flexible production requirements.
