Efficient drive systems – Go for sustainability
Industry of the future is efficient, productive and sustainable. With our drive systems and digital services, your production environment will be a trailblazer – regarding both cost effectiveness and environmental friendliness.
Everybody’s talking about sustainability. But how can you play a role?
With the Paris Agreement, 196 countries have agreed on climate goals that are both ambitious and important. This means that CO2 emissions will become expensive, making efficient operation that much more important. Electric motors consume 70% of the overall energy used in industry – therefore representing an enormous energy saving potential. You can optimize your processes and enter into a new dimension of efficiency with the latest electric motors and digital services.
Go for drive system optimization! The key to achieving higher drive efficiency is to optimize the overall system. Highly specialized motors, intelligent sensors and analytic tools allow you to optimally harmonize and coordinate your processes and motors. Further, with a Digital twin, you can optimize your maintenance and energy management – slashing your energy consumption by up to 60 percent.

With a view to material economy, the trend is therefore clearly moving in the direction of optimized motor converter systems adapted to the application. These enable the use of more efficient motor technologies that are generally not capable of running on a pure sinusoidal network. Modern synchronous reluctance motors and permanently excited synchronous machines can therefore further push the efficiency limits for the motor itself, but also for the whole system. Against this background, it is to be expected that corresponding motor-converter systems will be considered in future regulatory provisions on energy efficiency and defined as mandatory.
In a comparison of the two motor technologies, the permanently excited synchronous machine has greater potential in terms of energy efficiency since it provides its excitation field without current via magnets. On the other hand, rare earths are required for its production, which can only be found in a few locations worldwide, are difficult to extract, and are correspondingly expensive. In this respect, the reluctance machine offers the advantage of a simple, robust rotor design that requires neither magnets nor a current-carrying winding or cage.
