SEW-Eurodrive DRC electronic motor series

The DRC electronic motor series consists of a permanent-field synchronous motor and matching integrated drive electronics. The motor is also available as a brake motor, making it suitable for hoists and inclined conveyors. A bevel, helical or parallel-shaft gear unit can be mounted directly via the flange and output shaft.

The motor efficiency of the DRC surpasses the requirements of the highest efficiency class IE4 (Super Premium Efficiency), making it possible to save up to 50% of the energy costs compared to conventional electric drive technology.

SEW-Eurodrive’s Single Network Installation (SNI) technology requires only one 4-wire cable for power supply and communication. For stand-alone applications or systems with simple drive functionalities, variants with binary control and AS-Interface communication are available. The fourth variant is equipped with the CAN-based SEW system bus SBus, which provides flexibility for integrating various fieldbus networks, increasing system performance for the realisation of sophisticated drive tasks.

The DRC electronic motor series is available in two distinct frame sizes covering a power range up to 1.5 kW with a further 250% overload capacity. Available with an IEC flange option and a degree of protection up to IP66, the DRC motor can be used for stand-alone motor application in challenging environments. System emergency stop functionality can be easily realised in conjunction with the integrated Safe Torque Off Safe Circuit - SIL3 according to IEC 61800-5-2:2007.

The DRC electronic motor covers a wide voltage range from 380 to 500 V at 50/60 Hz and meets all application standards, directives and efficiency regulations.
