Drives with FI

Direct mount drives with integrated frequency inverter (FI): innovative solution for non-balanced doors

Direct mount drives with integrated frequency inverter (FI) are an innovative solution for non-balanced doors. This technology combines the advantages of a direct mount drive with the precise control and adaptability of a frequency converter. Automatic gates, especially in industrial applications, require reliable and efficient drive systems to ensure smooth operations and maximum safety in the workplace.

Easy installation of a direct mount drive with integrated frequency inverter

The direct mount drive is attached directly to the shaft of the door, allowing the door to open and close automatically. The integration of a frequency inverter also significantly expands the functions of the drive. The Frequency converter continuously regulates the speed of the motor, enabling precise control of the door. This is particularly useful for adapting the speed and acceleration behavior of the door to individual requirements.

Soft start and soft stop function for gentle door operation

A direct mount drive with FI in conjunction with a soft start and soft stop function is particularly gentle on the door: instead of immediately reaching full speed, the drive only slowly approaches the operating speed, which means that the door accelerates or decelerates gently in the end positions. Both when starting and stopping. The result is harmonious, low-friction operation, which can increase the longevity of the entire door, as the entire door mechanism is subjected to less stress.

Drive technology with frequency inverter brings energy efficiency benefits

Another advantage of direct mount drives with frequency inverters is their energy efficiency. Thanks to the variable speed, the door can be moved faster in one direction – for example, it can open faster than it closes. This shortens the door cycle and therefore the time the door is open. The result is less energy loss, as less heat escapes to the outside. After all, industrial buildings lose a large proportion of their energy through building openings such as doors – a large-framed industrial door can therefore be an important factor when it comes to sustainability.

The ideal drive for high-speed doors - also with safety brakes

FI drives are used particularly frequently on high-speed doors, i.e. foil doors or fast rolling doors. This is due to the potentially high speeds and the significantly lower material wear on the entire door when using FI drives. In addition, direct mount drives with FI have an integrated safety brakes. This even makes them suitable for high-speed doors, as they must be used to prevent the door leaf from falling unintentionally.
