Bruchsal, Nuremberg, Fachpack, 21.08.2025 • SEW EURODRIVE offers didactics assembly kits to help train up-and-coming specialists in system automation. Motor load brake didactics modules make it possible to examine the operating behavior of synchronous and asynchronous motors in different operating modes and under a variety of mechanical loads.
Didactic models from SEW‑EURODRIVE are suitable for all practical training courses, such as those for future mechatronics technicians and industrial mechanics. To this end, industry-standard gearmotors have been modified specifically for these educational purposes, enabling them to be put together and taken apart as often as required – without any expensive specialist tools. For the electromechanics teaching field, SEW‑EURODRIVE produces compact teaching modules that can be used for experimental examination of operating characteristics in various drive types under mechanical load. The modules are steady and stable on an aluminum base plate with rubber feet, enabling safe and easy handling.
The "Motor load brake basic" module type MLBB DRN is fitted with a DRN71M4 standard AC asynchronous motor from SEW‑EURODRIVE. The module makes it possible to simulate load changes in a system with this 0.37 kW AC asynchronous machine in an industry-standard protection or reversing contactor circuit and in frequency inverter operation. The type CMP50 "Motor load brake basic" module, which simulates load changes in a system with a CMP50 series synchronous servomotor on a frequency inverter, is designed for synchronous motors from SEW‑EURODRIVE. The practical laboratory exercises enable conventional measuring of electrical values and drive optimization with flexible loading of the respective motor.
The didactics assembly kits are based on SEW‑EURODRIVE gear units and have been modified for use in basic and further training. They support a theoretical and practical introduction to gear unit technology and are used in vocational schools and the training centers of industrial companies. These kits provide the trainees with support specific to Lernfeld 10 (learning field 10) – gear unit technology as part of an industrial mechanic's apprenticeship, and are very helpful for perfect examination preparation. Learners can see and understand how all the individual components in a gear unit work together. In addition to providing a practical explanation of the technical parameters of gear units, such as gear ratios and torques, they also help with the teaching of assembly-friendly design principles, the use of assembly tools, and the planning of preventive maintenance. What's more, these kits are also increasingly used in universities, where they are used to teach the basics of design theory, for example.
