Product Description:

The 178B4718 drive from the AKD Adaptive Cooling Drives family is loaded with a mix of steady specs and some flexibility for industrial installs. With 18.5 kW / 25 HP shaft output power, this piece takes on mid-range drive roles where accuracy and force both come in handy. Normal operation gives 73 A output current, a figure that works for machines that cycle on and off a lot. Maxing out, 80.3 A is on tap for sixty seconds, which helps when a job needs an extra surge.

Power gets handled clean, running on 3 x 200-240 V AC mains voltage to play nice with various panel designs worldwide. The typical efficiency rate sits at 0.95, keeping power loss on the low side and saving a bit on operating cost without a need for special tricks. Sizing up for the shop, the enclosure offers IP20 or IP54, so picky areas get the coverage that fits—IP54 for locations prone to dust or splashes, IP20 where airflow matters more. In the IP54 build, expect a 55 kg weight, so crews know ahead what they’re lugging.Max pre-fuse stands at 125 A, another plus when figuring out breaker load or safety cutoffs.

Cable handling comes easy, the max motor cable cross-section reaches 35 mm² for both enclosure styles and minimum spec calls for 10 mm² setup. Dimensions and straightforward fit help cut install time, so fewer hands are idle, and stops are shorter. Loss at full power touches 1042 W, which stays reasonable given the punch this drive offers. Specs line up for industrial spaces ranging from basic conveyor jobs to more complicated automated tasks. By skipping fancy extras and sticking to durable materials, the 178B4718 keeps downtime to a minimum and steady operational rhythm across everyday jobs.
