SycoTec’s new high-frequency inverters provide up to a 40% increase in maximum torque

The new high-frequency inverters e@syDrive 4624, 4625 and 4626 enable the maximum torque in the lower speed range to be increased by up to 40% for all SycoTec motor spindles in the low-voltage range (below 50V AC and 70V DC operating voltage).

For example:

• Motor spindle 4033 DC: old max. 10.6 Ncm / new max. 14,4 Ncm (with e@syDrive 4626),
• Motor spindle 4033 DC-T: old max. 19 Ncm / new max. 27 Ncm (with e@syDrive 4626).

Advantages of the new high-frequency inverters at a glance:

• Higher torque across all speed ranges
• Safe bridging of short-term load spikes
• More constant spindle velocity (speed) at higher load of the milling spindle in use
