The peak load and rated load devices supplement the proven bmaXX series and are available in five frame sizes. Whether you need maximum output for continuous operation or only for short durations, the b maXX series offers a customized drive solution for every application.

b maXX 4000 - modular servo controller up to 315 kW

b maXX has up to 11 drawers for plug-in modules and can therefore be individually adapted for special automation tasks. Special plug-in modules interface b maXX, including interface adaptors for most standard bus systems. The plug-in b maXX-drivePLC module provides integrated intelligent control.

b maXX 4100 – Rectifier and regenerative feedback unit

It is often the case with electrical drives that energy costs make up almost 90% of the overall life-cycle costs. With this in mind, regenerative systems help to reduce the total cost of ownership

b maXX 3000 - Servo controller up to 4 kW

The servo inverter b maXX 3400 was designed for low power ratings up to 4 kW. With the new series of dynamic DSD servomotors in frame sizes 28 to 100 and the linear motors, Baumüller offers a complete system for low power ratings for all applications.

b maXX 2000 - Mini servo controller for power ratings under 1 kW

b maXX 2000 is the mini servo controller for applications under 1 kW. b maXX 2000, which comes in the built-in version b maXX 2300 and the control cabinet version
b maXX 2400, together with the pancake motors, linear motors or the motors of the mini servo series DSD 28-36 from Baumüller, form the ideal system for low power ratings.

b maXX 1000 - Frequency converter

The b maXX 1000 is a frequency converter that provides for the highly efficient (vector) control of standard motors in three output gradations and in the power range 0.2 kW to 11 kW.

Function and option modules for b maXX 4400

With 20 function and option modules b maXX can easily be adopted in line with the individual tasks of the drive and automation solution.

The control unit b maXX-drivePLC

With a typical cycle time of 100 microseconds for 1,000 lines of STL, b maXX-drivePLC is one of the fastest in-drive PLCs in the world and is therefore ideally suitable not only for sophisticated control tasks but also for demanding motion control tasks.

ProDrive: Operation and parameterization of b maXX

ProDrive is a tool that simplifies the commissioning, parameterization and operation of all b maXX controllers - for newcomers and advanced users.
