The design of the drive motor plays an essential part in creating the perfect drive concept.

For the engineers at Kühne+Vogel GmbH, determining the best motor type for the given task is one of the most important steps when they are starting to design an motor. 

While direct-current shunt motors with outside ventilation with downstream drives were once the preferred choice for manufacturing plants with continuous material webs, this type of drive is hardly used today, except for retrofitting projects. 

This drive type was replaced by a wide variety of three-phase AC drives, which give our experienced drive specialists the necessary flexibility to solve even the most difficult problems in an efficient, sustainable way. 

For a steadily growing number of applications, we use transmissionless direct drives with DirectDrive technology. 

Our scope of deliveries and services in the engine segment primarily includes:

Synchronous motors 

• Synchronous servomotors
• Synchronous primary motors
• Synchronous geared servomotors
• Torque motors (DirectDrive) with a hollow shaft
• Torque motors (DirectDrive) with a solid shaft
  
  

Available models: air-cooled, water-cooled, var. safety classes, var. encoder systems, var. shapes, etc.
