MDX61B0055-5A3-4-00(SEW‑EURODRIVE)

The MDX61B0055-5A3-4-00 is a 5.5 kW standard‑grade AC drive from SEW‑EURODRIVE’s MOVIDRIVE® B series. It is designed for high‑performance speed, torque, and positioning control of three‑phase asynchronous and synchronous motors. The 00 suffix stands for standard PCB (non‑coated), suited for clean/dry industrial environments. It includes a built‑in Class C2 EMC filter, integrated brake chopper, and IPOSplus® motion control as standard.
