Motor suits single-axis control
The KFM 05 is aimed at medium-precision motion and speed control applications where full servomotor based systems would be unnecessarily expensive.
The SIEIDrive KFM 05 is an integrated inverter duty motor with frequency inverter drive, encoder feedback and axis I/O suitable for simple, low power, single-axis motion control applications The compact unit includes an RS232 port for programming, parameter set-up and diagnostics using Gefran's EatsyDrives PC-based configuration software as well as an optional Profibus-DP interface for full axis control

The KFM 05 is aimed at medium-precision motion and speed control applications where full servomotor based systems would be unnecessarily expensive.
The integrated design allows extremely straightforward installation with minimal wiring and as all filtering is included, full EMC compliance is guaranteed.
With a 230V AC, 50Hz single-phase supply the IP54 unit is available in a choice of four and six-pole versions to provide up to 2.8Nm of torque at 1750rev/min with generous overload ratings.
An IP44 rated four-pole force cooled version is available for torques of up to 1.9Nm and speeds to 2550rev/min.
The KFM 05 includes a standard B14 IEC mounting flange which allows straightforward gearbox interfacing if required.
The fully integrated design includes a complement of 24V opto-isolated axis I/O which can be used to trigger pre-programmed positions, vary acceleration/deceleration and change speeds.
External speed control and other analogue functions are possible using on-board analogue inputs.
There is also a six-LED display for operational status and diagnostics.
The KFM 05 can be supplied with a variety of connector interfacing options and a may be fitted with a DC or AC actuated holding brake. Request a free brochure from Gefran SIEI UK ...
