‘Inverter Drive’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Danfoss introduces VLT Profinet option card from Danfoss Drives, which we summarised at the time by saying "Danfoss Drives has introduced the VLT Profinet MCA120 option card, expanding the Ethernet communication capabilities of the VLT Automationdrive to Profinet-based networks.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Nexact piezo stepping drives provide forces of 10N from Physik Instrumente: "The compact Nexact piezo stepping drives from Physik Instrumente (PI) provide high forces of 10N and velocities of more than 10mm/s.".
 
In March 2010, we covered the news from Schaeffler - take a look at Schaeffler offers rolling-bearing selection tips which says: "Schaeffler has provided tips and guidance for engineers on how to select the most appropriate rolling bearings for their application requirements.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Tsubakimoto, Roller chain features reduced wear and elongation, as well as Baldor unveils sealing system and bearing at Total from Baldor, and MLS10 APT quickly tests runways and highways from Control Techniques.
