Product Description:
The 18.F5.C1G-340F belongs to the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series manufactured by KEB. It is an AC inverter axis drive intended for closed-loop speed and torque regulation of three-phase motors in automated machinery. By acting as the interface between the plant controller and the motor windings, the unit supports coordinated motion, positioning, and energy-efficient operation on production lines. Its closed-loop design also helps the drive adjust motor output in response to changing load conditions, which supports stable speed control during normal machine operation.
An inverter size designation of 18 places this model in KEB's mid-range mechanical frame, while housing form factor code G identifies the enclosure dimensions and mounting points used for cabinet installation. The auxiliary signal connector provides a TTL square-wave output that can be wired to counters or monitoring inputs for run-status indication. When high-resolution position feedback is needed, the built-in encoder port supports the Hiperface protocol so absolute rotor position data can feed directly into the digital current regulator. The maximum motor capacity is 30 HP, which places the drive in a range suited for pumps, extruders, and conveyors operating within its continuous power band.
An integrated braking transistor allows connection of an external resistor so regenerative energy from rapid deceleration is dissipated as heat instead of returning to the DC bus. This arrangement helps manage regenerated energy during repeated stops and direction changes. The Unit B power section is intended for 480 V mains, so it matches systems built around that supply class. Alignment with the Combivert F5 parameter structure keeps menu organization and command behavior consistent across that platform, while the control algorithms and protective functions support regulated acceleration, current limiting, and fault handling during routine operation.
