DANFOSS 134F2974

The Danfoss 134F2974 (VLT® AutomationDrive FC 360) addresses critical needs in industrial automation by combining precise motor speed control, ruggedness, and flexibility. In production settings with conveyors, fans, pumps, or extruders, using motors at fixed speed can waste energy, reduce machine lifetime, and limit responsiveness. This drive lets you dynamically adjust speed, improving process control and boosting energy efficiency.

Thanks to its built-in brake chopper, the drive can decelerate quickly — vital for applications where rapid stopping is required, such as packaging lines or material handling systems. The coated PCBs protect sensitive electronics from dust, humidity, and chemical exposure, helping the drive run reliably in harsh industrial environments. Its IP20 chassis design is compact and well-suited for control panels, while its 1.5 kW power rating offers strong performance for small-to-medium motors.

Load-sharing capability allows multiple drives to operate from a common power source without compromising control — ideal for modular systems or parallel motor configurations. Compared to simpler, fixed-speed drives, this Danfoss unit offers better energy savings, longer motor life, and more flexible control. Furthermore, it supports various automation protocols (like Modbus or PROFIBUS) and can integrate into advanced systems, making it a superior choice for OEMs and system integrators seeking reliability and efficiency.
