With its modular system, MOVITRANS® line can be easily adapted to modifications and changing system tasks.

Increased productivity
MOVITRANS® line combines maximum system reliability with wear-free and low-maintenance operation.

Reduced investment costs
Existing components can be put to versatile use and adapt to the system layout.

Lower operating costs and higher energy efficiency
MOVITRANS® line is easy to use, minimizes maintenance outlay in the long term and is highly efficient thanks to the latest component technologies.

MOVITRANS® spot – contactless energy transfer system MOVI-DPS® power supply

Flexible energy transfer planning and project management

MOVITRANS® line ensures perfect energy transfer, even over long distances. It is a contactless, quiet, wear-free and low-maintenance system. No room for a control cabinet? With MOVITRANS® line, you also save time and space.

How do we achieve this? It's simple! With MOVITRANS® line, the power socket rides along, as it were. Energy is transferred contactlessly through an air gap, which enables a completely wear-free, low-maintenance electromagnetic connection. This contactless energy supply also makes it possible to achieve high speeds of over 10 m/s.

MOVITRANS® technology from SEW‑EURODRIVE works on the principle of inductive power supply. Electrical energy is transferred continuously along the route via a line cable that benefits from incredibly simple, flexible installation and is easy to reposition if you subsequently want to modify or add to it. This makes complex, cumbersome and high-maintenance systems consisting of cable carriers, conductor rails and fixed floor installations a thing of the past.

The intelligent SAFS safety function, in combination with MOVITRANS® contactless energy transmission, provides relief for the infrastructure - not only in industry but also in urban applications.

Our video shows how this works.

MOVITRANS® line gets you moving

MOVITRANS® line is made up of both stationary and mobile system components. These can be integrated into existing automation systems quickly and easily. The nominal air gap between line cable and pick-up is 20 mm. This enables high transmission power even in situations where the pick-up is not always at a constant distance above the line cable.

Features

Consistent and device-independent

  • The technology is based on the principle of inductive energy transfer.
  • Electrical energy is transmitted continuously via a freely laid line cable along the route.
  • When using the new wedge conductor system, there is no need for time-consuming concrete sawing work or grouting the slots
  • Electromagnetic coupling occurs via an air gap and is low-maintenance and wear-free.
  • A contactless energy transfer system itself causes no contamination and is insensitive to external contamination.
  • The simple operating principle ensures extremely high practical benefits during plant operation.
  • Cumbersome and obstructive cable carriers and conductor rails, as well as rigid floor installations, are a thing of the past.

Safe Disconnection

SAFS:
Safe disconnection of the power supply

To prevent people from entering the influence zone of invisible electromagnetic fields, our MOVITRANS®technology features the unique safety function "SAFS". The abbreviation stands for Safe AC Field Stop (AC = alternating current). This can be put to good use, for example, when a section of the line is not in use or for vehicle maintenance purposes.

SAFS ensures the safe disconnection of the magnetic field when no mobile vehicle is on the track for charging or is not currently in use. The SAFS function complies with the ISO 13849 standard at Performance Level d (abbreviated PL d) and the IEC 61800-5-2 standard for drive systems.
