The right electric drive for every application

Heavily revised new edition: "Practical handbook on drive design" by Reinhard Mansius

Drive systems are the driving forces behind the provision of mechanical kinetic energy in the realization of industrial processes. This textbook concentrates on describing the design of electrical drive systems. It describes the selection of the essential components motor, gearbox, actuator, power supply and their additional components and goes into detail on the calculation of the necessary variables.

The basis of the heavily revised new edition is the correct analysis of the physical parameters of the required process, their processing and knowledge of the technical possibilities and properties of the available components.

From the contents:

Calculation of motion sequences, forces and torques
Conversion on the drive element and transmission elements
Motor and actuator selection
Calculation of the values on the DC link and grid variables
Design of the mains supply and braking resistor
Calculations of rotary motors with direct mains operation
Project planning information, energy saving, examples

The contents show the processes involved in drive selection in a simple and understandable way - supported by checklists or process sketches. The textbook is characterized by its practical value and the high applicability of the information for professionals. This also explains the consistently high ratings on Amazon and the positive feedback from readers. In addition, the InfoClick online service gives book buyers access to useful, comprehensive interpretation tools as well as further information and updates.
