Self-contained CLSP servo drive
2nd Quarter 2018
Electrical switching & drive systems & components
Voith’s new self-contained Closed Loop 4Q Pump (CLSP) servo drive is a hydraulic linear axis from the company’s range of self-contained drives. The high energy efficiency, overload protection and virtually wear-free operation are all characteristic features of this servo drive. The CLSP drive also boasts automatic, load-dependent shifting of the hydraulic transmission. This significantly reduces the connected load of the drive. As a result, the motor and inverter sizes are more compact.
The CLSP servo drive can be used for all direct linear motions, particularly when dynamic response, reproducibility and reliability are required. Plant operators can expect significant increases in productivity thanks to the speed of the drive. It operates with a force of up to 500 kN and combines speed with extraordinary robustness, a fact demonstrated by its three-year maintenance intervals or 20 000 hours of operation. The CLSP is typically used in the automation of all types of linear motion, handling, and machines with bending, cutting and forming processes.
It consists of three main components: the servo motor, a 4Q internal gear pump and a directly coupled hydraulic cylinder. No hydraulic power pack or oil tank is required for operating the self-contained drive. As a result, all components are integrated directly. The drive is also suitable for force control and position control. In addition, the sensors installed already provide the basis for complete integration into automated manufacturing systems or production facilities.
