Kinetix 3 Drive Systems
Introduction
This publication assumes that your application uses the Kinetix® 3 drive family and that you have already determined your
motor/actuator series. To revisit those decisions, refer to the Kinetix Motion Control Selection Guide, publication
otion Analyzer software.
The purpose of this publication is to assist you in identifying the drive system components and accessory items you need for
your Kinetix 3 drive and motor/actuator combination. Diagrams in this publication illustrate how many of the common
drive accessory items are used in a typical system, but refer to the Kinetix Motion Accessories Technical Data, publication
or detailed accessory descriptions and specifications.
Also provided are drive/motor or drive/actuator system combinations that include the following:
• Motor/cable combinations table.
• Drive and motor/actuator performance specification table.
• Torque/speed curves with each motor matched to the drive with optimum performance.
Performance specification data and curves reflect nominal system performance of a typical system with motor/drive at
rated ambient temperature and line voltage. For additional information on ambients, line conditions, and valid
combinations not shown in this publication, refer to Motion Analyzer software.
IMPORTANT
These system combinations do not include all possible motor/drive combinations. Refer to Motion Analyzer software to verify
compatibility. Download is available at
