Design Considerations / Trends for Drives 

The below table refers to frequent design considerations / trends important for engineers designing drives.  The recommended products you found above are included and rated for how well they fit these trends.  

Miniaturization
Higher Data Transfer Rates
Robustness
Definition
Drives are becoming smaller / more compact in order to add more functionality or save space. Smaller components help reduce the size .
Drives need to send a receive more data more quickly than ever. HARTING connectors support high data speeds
All components for drives operating in industrial environments should have an IP rating suitable for that environment to ensure reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a drive?

A drive is a device that harnesses and controls electrical energy sent to a motor. It feeds electricity into the motor at varying frequencies and amount, which controls the motor’s speed and torque.
