Drives

We carry a wide selection of Allen-Bradley PowerFlex® AC variable frequency drives (VFDs), DC drives, and Kinetix® servo drives. Allen-Bradley drives are designed for flexibility, productivity, and ease of use.

Need a wide range of control modes, features, options, packaging, global voltages, and power ratings? Look no further than the PowerFlex® line of VFDs. If you need a general-purpose solution for applications that require speed control and simple system integration, the PowerFlex® Compact Class AC drives are the products you’re looking for. If you need more advanced features and application-specific parameters, look to the PowerFlex® Architecture Class AC drives. These drives are ideal for applications that require speed, torque, and/or position control.

Stay connected to your operations so you can improve productivity with this flexible family of products. PowerFlex® Compact-class AC Drives deliver a simple and cost-effective solution for standalone machine-level control applications or simple system integration. Optimize panel space with this easy-to-use, general-purpose class of drives. Below you'll find some of our most popular compact AC drives from Rockwell Automation.

The PowerFlex® compact low-voltage AC drives are a versatile class that uses minimal space while meeting a number of purposes, including standalone and integrated setups. The PowerFlex® 523, PowerFlex® 525 and PowerFlex® 527 AC drives in particular are popular, cost-effective models with a wide variety of applications.

PowerFlex® 523 AC Drives

---

PowerFlex® 523 AC Drives are cost-effective and ideal for standalone machines. Installation and configuration are quick and easy, thanks to the modular design. These drives also offer USB programming, application-specific configuration, and flexible mounting options. PowerFlex® 523 AC drives offer a power rating of 0.2...22 kW (0.25...30 Hp) with global voltage classes of 100...600V. In addition to supporting a wide range of motor control, these drives offer a compact footprint and operate at temperatures as high as 70 °C (158 °F).

PowerFlex® 525 AC Drives

Another great modular option for fast and easy installation and configuration is the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex® 525 line of AC Drives from Rockwell Automation. This next generation of compact drives offers embedded EtherNet/IP™ communications, USB programming, and standard safety features. PowerFlex® 525 drives provide a variety of motor control and flexible mounting options. They offer a power rating of 0.4...22 kW (0.5...30 Hp) with global voltage classes of 100...600V. PowerFlex® 525 AC drives operate at temperatures as high as 70 °C (158 °F), and they are ideal for applications such as conveyors, fans, pumps, and mixers.

PowerFlex® 527 AC Drives

PowerFlex® 527 AC Drives are designed to work exclusively with our Logix Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs). The drive is thus able to leverage the capabilities of the controller and use Studio 5000 Logix Designer™ to help simplify machine development and use. This streamlined approach uses motion instructions that are shared by PowerFlex® 527 AC drives and Kinetix® servo drives. That means with both types of drives, you get the same the same user experience for configuration, programming, and control.
