Siemens Launches Gear Motor Drive

Published: February 22, 2016

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL | Siemens introduces the Sinamics G110M, a motor-integrated drive for Simogear gear motors, reportedly offering flexible control, integrated safety, simple installation, and a space-saving design. 

With a degree of protection to IP66, drive is said to provides a perfect solution to most material handling-related challenges, including conveyors, warehousing, logistics, baggage and cargo handling, post and parcel shipping, plus numerous industrial applications in the automotive, appliance, and test stand industries.

Company says Simogear gear motors offer high torque density, low noise, and high efficiency, and now with Sinamics G110M, it becomes easier for designers and system builders to integrate gear motors into a variety of control architectures. Plug connections for onboard I/O ensure fast installation, while optional power connectors deliver more time savings. The system is delivered pre-configured, and the drive offers simple yet comprehensive onboard diagnostic features. Options such as internal braking resistors and motor brakes—operational simultaneously —and integrated features such as “Quick Stop” and the limit switch function make this system ideal for conveyor applications, company adds.

For uses requiring safety technology, the drive offers integrated safety functions such as “Safe Torque Off” (STO), which can be activated via a fail-safe input or via Profisafe, without needing additional safety monitoring components.

Sinamics G110M features integral USS/Modbus RTU, Profibus, and Profinet/EtherNet/IP communication profiles.
