What is meant by drive technology?

Drive technology encompasses technical systems for transmitting force and energy. It involves not only the generation of force, but also its targeted transmission to the point of application. Its applications are correspondingly widespread—ranging from motor vehicles to industrial applications. These versatile applications make it a central component in mechanical engineering, where it plays a decisive role in the implementation of a wide variety of drive systems.

Especially in Industry 4.0, which is characterized by electrification, digitalization, and robotization, the general focus is primarily on electric drive systems. The requirements and complexity of modern systems and equipment, with an increasing proportion of power and microelectronics, have risen. With MBS-HODDE’s extensive portfolio of chokes and filters, you have an experienced supplier of wound products at your side. This ensures that your drive technology operates reliably, trouble-free, and efficiently, even within the context of Industry 4.0.

The Right Products for Trouble-Free Drive Technology

A power electronics drive system consists of several components, not just a frequency converter, motor cable, and motor. To ensure trouble-free operation, power quality components must be integrated to guarantee the system’s electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Frequency converters can cause EMC issues because they convert mains frequencies, thereby generating harmonics that can cause voltage distortion and damage to the power grid.

Furthermore, due to their switching frequencies, frequency converters cause radio interference and leakage currents that can lead to system failures. Measures such as EMC filters and sine wave filters help minimize these disturbances and extend the service life of the motors. Finally, sensor technology and process data acquisition play a crucial role in modern, networked drive systems, where EMC issues can impair data communication.

At MBS-HODDE, we have a thorough understanding of the requirements of drive technology. Today, it is important to go beyond just the windings and also keep an eye on the other electrical components of a motor control system, ensuring they are reliably protected.
