DANFOSS 134F2972

The Danfoss 134F2972 (VLT® AutomationDrive FC 360) is designed to solve the common challenge of controlling small motors in demanding industrial environments. Many OEMs face inefficiencies when running pumps, conveyors, or fans at fixed speeds; this drive allows precise speed control, leading to significant energy savings and smoother operation. Its built-in brake chopper lets machines decelerate quickly and safely — a vital feature for processes that require rapid stops, such as packaging lines or material handling.

With a 0.75 kW / 1 HP rating, the drive is powerful yet compact, making it ideal for tight installations. The coated PCBs enhance reliability in dirty, humid, or dusty conditions, reducing downtime and maintenance. The IP20 chassis mounting provides a rugged, secure form factor for industrial panels. It supports 380–480 V three-phase power, which is common in many factories, and includes load sharing, so multiple units can coordinate work and distribute load evenly.

Compared to basic single-speed motor setups or less robust inverters, the 134F2972 delivers better control, efficiency, and longevity. Its design helps reduce energy consumption, improves system responsiveness, and ensures safe operation under variable load — all of which translate into lower total cost of ownership for industrial automation users.
