Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- DC power supplies (24V, 48V, 180V, or as specified in datasheet)
- Standard industrial automation control systems with DC output
- Pulse-width modulation (PWM) speed controllers
- Industrial machinery with foot or flange-mount gearmotor requirements
Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering. The SSN31-1PVAR-045C21 may directly replace other Lenze SSN31 permanent magnetic DC motors with equivalent voltage, shaft configuration, and mounting interface; however, confirm gearbox ratio (i-value) and output torque specifications match your application requirements.
Works With
- DC power supplies and variable-frequency drives (VFD) with DC output
- PWM motor speed controllers
- Standard industrial DC brake systems (if brake option fitted)
- Feedback devices: resolver, encoder, or DC tacho (if equipped)
- Mechanical couplings, pulleys, and sheaves compatible with solid shaft output
