Product Description:

The 16.F5.HBE-340 is an AC motor inverter from KEB’s F5 Combivert Axis Drives series, intended to modulate three-phase motors in conveyor, pump, and indexing equipment. By altering output frequency and current, the unit lets control systems match shaft speed and torque to changing process demands. It also supports coordinated operation with PLC-level commands in automated machinery.

This drive operates on a supply of 3-Ph 400 V AC/DC, rectifying the line to power its internal DC bus before generating a variable output waveform. Under continuous duty it delivers 33 A, and short overload windows can draw up to 59 A to accelerate inertial loads without stalling. Power transistors switch at 2 kHz, and the control core refreshes field-oriented calculations every 1 ms so speed deviations stay small during load transients.

For machine integration, the inverter provides 2 analog inputs for speed or torque references and 8 digital inputs for enable, jog, or preset selection. The power stage is sized for motors up to 20 HP at 230 V in Housing Form Factor E. Its IP20 enclosure suits cabinet mounting where finger-safe terminals are sufficient, and available airflow can remove heat from the drive.

Wake Industrial offers a 1-year warranty on this model. Same-day shipping is available for qualifying orders, which helps reduce downtime when a replacement inverter is needed quickly. Customers can use the chat tool available on the website for questions about fault codes or type-code details before placing an order, with concise answers for routine product questions during planning.
