Sprint signs deal with Innomotics linking LV motors to regen drives

Sprint Electric, the UK manufacturer of AC and DC drives, has signed a strategic agreement with the motor specialist, Innomotics, at the SPS automation show in Germany. The partnership brings together Innomotics’ high-efficiency low-voltage motors with Sprint’s new Generis regenerative AC drive technology, which is making its commercial debut at the show.
The agreement gives Sprint preferred access and support for Innomotics’ range of low-voltage AC motors. “The motors are proven technology – highly efficient with terrific performance – which is exactly what we want need to in order to deliver the full potential of Generis advanced control,” says Alan Baird, Sprint’s head of global AC sales.
“The range of low-voltage motors from Innomotics is unparalleled,” he adds. “The reliability and robustness of the products will give our AC drives added versatility. The emphasis on sustainability at Innomotics is a perfect match for Generis, which provides fully regenerative AC power with ultra-low harmonics.”
Innomotics, formerly Siemens motors and large drives business, can trace its history back 150 years.
“This is a fantastic partnership, and I am pleased to be part of the launch of Generis,” says Ethan Warburton, Innomotics’ business development manager for low-voltage motors. “Our products are geared towards technological innovation. With highly efficient drive systems, together we can replace conventional systems that are less sustainable.”
