This increases the motor\u2019s efficiency in the partial-load range by up to 25%.<\/p>\n<p>Together, all of these features create a significant contribution to improving the control of standard mains driven electric motors and the data that is available from them.<\/p>\n<p>Designed for a wide range of applications with power requirements up to 3 kW and available with IP65 protection, this innovative solution will operate reliably, even in unfavourable conditions.<\/p>\n<p>For those with applications involving material handling, intralogistics or processes that start under load and who also require excellent energy efficiency, gentle power delivery together with continuous data gathering, the TorqueControl4.0 is the solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Industry 4.0 continues to be implemented, more and more components are being integrated into industrial processes; and now attention has turned to the electric motor.
