A new 501 Stock products catalog will be available from you local Baldor sales office and the Baldor literature fullment center in early August. Or you can download a pdf version from the Baldor website at http://www.baldor.com/support/literature.asp?LitType=CA

We have added 117 new products to the catalog including motors, drives and gear products.

Do you know the difference between a rotary motor and a linear motor? For an informative introduction to linear motors and linear motor technology, take the Design News magazine MotorHead Challenge presented by Baldor.

Baldor is pleased to announce a new piece of literature that makes it easy to replace an H-series inverter drive with an new H2 series drive. The cross-reference manual, MN743 can be downloaded from the website at the link above or ordered from the Baldor literature fullfillment center.

The manual includes:

A. H to H2 Part no. cross reference,
B. Power Terminal Block layout differences,
C. Dynamic braking differences,
D. Low voltage terminal block differences,
E. Digital and Analog I/O differences,
F. Mounting Dimension changes, and my favorite
G. Parameter cross reference

Baldor motion control products are at the heart of automation, bringing reliability, flexibility and durability to today’s machines. It is Baldor’s commitment to quality, service and investment in R&D that makes Baldor a global leader in industry.

To maintain competitive, production processes must be designed to reduce manufacturing time while increasing throughput and minimizing maintenance. Baldor’s motion control products accomplish this, while also improving product quality and consistency.

Consulting Specifying Engineer magazine has recognized the H2 Drive as a Product of the Year Finalist in the June issue.

The H2 is the second generation of Baldor’s H-series control. It has an enhanced keypad with 5 lines of English text and 4 tables of memory for cloning additional controls. It has the unique ability to maintain its memory in the event of a fault, while protecting the high power components, thus preventing a catastrophic failure.

H2 can continue to operate even during low voltage line conditions and phase loss occurrences. The H2 utilizes Space Vector technology to provide more torque to the motor than the competitive Sine-Triangle modulation technology in use today.

The H2 drive has the ability to continue operations during brief power outages and low line voltage or phase loss conditions. The H2 drive either reduces power or uses the inertia of the motor to continue operation during these brief voltage transient problems. The control has a unique Web Server option that allows you to “surf the drive” from a remote site much like any website on-line.
