1. SEW Eurodrive Movidrive MDX61B®
MOVIDRIVE® MDX60/61B is the new generation of drive inverters from SEW-EURODRIVE. The new B series MOVIDRIVE® drive inverters are impressive devices with extensive basic functions, a wide power range, great overload capacity and a modular unit design. They facilitate unrestricted application of AC drives with a power range of 0.55 to 160 kW (0.75 to 215 hp) with the most modern digital inverter technology.
With MOVIDRIVE®, even asynchronous AC motors can achieve levels of dynamic performance and control quality that were previously only possible using DC motors. The integrated control and expansion options using technology and communication options create remarkably cost-effective drive systems as regards diversity of application, project planning, startup and operation.

2. SEW Eurodrive Geared Servo Motor.
SEW Eurodrive's Geared Servo Motor offer dynamic, precise and maximum torques in a compact design. Advanatges of using this motor are:
• Highest dynamic characteristics
• Compact, powerful design
• Motors with low mass moment of inertia
• Motors with high overload capacity, at least 4.5 x static torque
• High quality of concentricity properties
• Very quiet at all speeds, between 55 and 75 dBA
• Direct mounting of planetary servo gear units or helical-bevel servo gear units.
Thanks to their optimized length, these motors can be used in even the smallest of spaces.

3. The Festo DFPI Linear Acuator.
FESTO have designed a Linear Actuator for actuating process valves such as gate valves and shut-off valves, for example, in process automation systems.
Different product versions exist with integrated position controller and valve block
systems. With this product version, the integrated position controller checks the position of the piston rod within the available stroke range.
Positions are specified via an analogue setpoint signal, for example via a master PLC/IPC or manually on-site via an external setpoint generator. The travel speed can be
influenced using the integrated flow control screws.
This product is suitable for use in:
• water processing systems
• sewage treatment systems
• service water systems
• process water systems
• silo and bulk goods systems.
