Having proven itself for years as a powerMELA® drive solution in mobile drive technology, Baumüller has now integrated its permanent magnet synchronous motor into its b maXX 5000 controller concept. The motor is available in the power classes of 40, 80, 140 and 200* kW and, in addition to the electromagnetic torque as a result of the Lorentz force, generates an additional reluctance torque. When used with the b maXX 5000, both torques — the electromagnetic and the reluctance torque — can be used, enabling optimized operation and high power density.
