Rexroth IndraDrive Mi

Modular, highly integrated and fully functional, Rexroth has announced another milestone for IndraDrive with the launch of the IndraDrive Mi. Through an innovative design build concept, engineers at Rexroth have reduced the total build space required by over fifty percent when compared to traditional servo drives.

With IndraDrive Mi, Rexroth’s designers have created a completely new kind of build concept. The motor casing serves as the cooling element for the control system, which is fitted to the motor, thus adding only a tiny extension to the overall profile. As a result, up to 30 percent less build space is needed in comparison to other integrated systems, where the electronics are fitted behind the motor, and over 50 percent less total space is required compared to a traditional servo drive, with its separate motor and converter. This dramatically reduces the space requirement and the loss of capacity in the control cabinet.
