Wyko launches plug and play motor gear unit

The new Fenner® GT integral motor gearbox unit from Wyko is designed to provide the benefits of automation while retaining the convenience of manual speed control in tough working environments, the company says. The unit's IP65 sealing and waterproofed electrical components can ensure significantly improved reliability, accuracy and maintenance levels over traditional mechanical variable speed drives, Wyko adds. The new units are supplied ready-to-run with application specific factory presets but can be integrated into fieldbus based control systems. Typical applications include extracting conveyors, metering screws and centrifugal pumps.

By using the Fenner GT to manage start/stop phases and adapt speed cycles, systems designers and maintenance engineers in all industries can improve efficiency and reduce the risks associated with interruptions, flow irregularities and load handling, Wyko reports. The Fenner GT is also suitable for engineers who are replacing more traditional mechanical variable speed drives and still prefer to retain a familiar manual speed control option.
