Rockwell Automation launches new Allen-Bradley AC drive

Rockwell Automation has launched the PowerFlex 755 AC drive, the first drive from the new Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 750 series, to meet global user's needs for versatile motor control, integration ease and high performance to help increase productivity. Available in power ranges from 7.5 to 250 kW or 10 to 350 hp at 400/480V AC and 540/650V DC input, it supports multiple languages, meets global standards and certifications, and is suited for many industries, including converting, automotive, machinery, food&beverage, material handling, metals, mining and tyre&rubber.

"A variety of supporting options make the PowerFlex 755 a highly functional and cost-effective drive for simple and demanding drive applications. The application flexibility and simple integration make this drive ideal for OEMs and system integrators looking to reduce engineering costs, deliver machines to market faster, and meet end-user demand for high performance and safer machines," said Anthony Newkirk, drives product manager, Rockwell Automation.

Engineers designed it with a slot-based mechanical architecture that allows customers to tailor the drive with as few or as many options - I/O, feedback, safety, communications and auxiliary control power - as their application requires.
