Direct Drive Solutions for High-Performance Machines

Get more efficient, cost-effective and greener direct drive solutions with Synchrony®’s high-speed motors and generators. You can eliminate cumbersome gearboxes, contaminating lubricants and many maintenance needs with advanced permanent magnet motors with innovative, integrated control systems from Synchrony.

Our NovaGen™/NovaDrive™ 100 and NovaGen™/NovaDrive™ 400 are at the heart of efficient, high-performance direct drive systems in the HVAC, petrochemical, oil and gas and renewable energy industries.

 

Direct drive benefits include:

  • Compact design—smaller footprint, lighter weight
  • Fewer mechanical parts to service and maintain
  • No need for gearboxes or chemical lubricants makes for greener operation


Why NovaGen™/NovaDrive™?

  • Supported on magnetic bearings for more precise control
  • 5-axis control system integrated within the machine for more compact operation
  • Machine condition monitoring (via Ethernet) and protection for maximum uptime
  • Quiet, vibration-free operation
  • High-capacity magnetic thrust bearing allows for vertical installation
  • Direct drive eliminates backlash and provides firm, rigid platform for highly dynamic applications

 

These compact, versatile products are increasing the number of magnetic bearing applications.
