“The MOVIGEAR is a highly sophisticated device with two simple goals at its core: Energy Efficient Applications and Simple Asset Management. The unit has been designed to achieve unparalleledlevels of energy efficiency, by combining SEW’s geared servo designs with the latest in SEW’s inverter technology. Not only is this unit highly efficient but it has been designed with maintenance personnel in mind, by combining three products in one: an inverter, a gearbox and a servomotor. This enables simple and quick installation directly at the application, which means that there is no need for panel mounting and expensive cabling. This 3-in-1 design also allows asset planners to minimize stock keeping as they would only have to keep spares of one product and not three separate products,” Greyvenstein adds.
