Accelerate logistics applications

Sumitomo Drive Technologies is expanding its range of drive solutions with an energy-efficient drive package for high-speed applications, such as baggage handling systems at airports, parcel sorting in logistics centers or automated storage systems.The new BBB-H IE5 drive package in the 0.75-4 kW power range consists of a Sumitomo helical-bevel gearbox in direct-mounted combination with a powerful Lafert HPS IE5 permanent magnet synchronous motor and Invertek frequency inverters of the Optidrive E3 or P2 series.

The drive solution was jointly developed by Sumitomo, Lafert and Invertek under the umbrella of the Sumitomo Drive Technologies family. The individual components are matched to achieve maximum energy savings and compactness in high-speed solutions.

Energy efficiency class Ultra Premium IE5

Available in five sizes, the BBB-H is a bevel helical gearbox with low transmission ratios (5, 7, 10, 12, 15, 25, 30) and high efficiency (>90%). The input speeds up to 3,600 rpm (120 Hz) allow high working speed of the connected machine. Reliable hardened steel gearing in a lightweight, compact housing allows easy installation with less stress on the head shaft. High thermal load capacity is provided by the aluminum construction.

Maintenance-free lifetime grease lubrication allows the drive to be mounted in any orientation without custom modifications - preventing contamination of the surrounding area, and therefore the environment, from oil leaks.

The Lafert High Performance HPS motor, a generation of permanent magnet synchronous motors, meets the Ultra Premium IE5 energy efficiency rating and combines the electrical design of brushless servo motors with the mechanical design of AC induction motors. In addition to higher efficiencies than standard AC induction motors, the
the series improves the power-to-weight ratio - making the drive solution smaller and lighter.

When combined with Invertek Optidrive inverters, the BBB-H IE5 drive package promises lower operating and maintenance costs and significant energy savings.
