Description
The VF Series can be used for large or medium sized motors, 128V – 240V, used in 10 ton locomotives, monorail and rubber tire man carriers. This is a lead acid battery system.
Features
- Easily retrofitted into current equipment
- Failsafe – motor rotation will stop if drive fails
- Low maintenance with AC motor
Turbo TorqueTM Traction Drive
- Better stall torque and higher top speed than the equivalent 36kW (50HP) DC drive
- Speed governor
- Effective regenerative braking; minimizes the use of mechanical brakes
Whisper PumpTM On-Demand Hydraulic Pump Drive
- Reduced noise in pump idle mode, from 80 to 70 decibels
- Significant battery energy reduction during idle
- Smoother steering at pump idle
Battery Management System
Able to monitor battery levels from display
“Low Battery” warning allows for:
- Automatic slow down of some functions
- Torque retained, speed reduced to conserve energy
- Enables vehicles limited time to return to power center for rechargings.
