Know-how
The challenge:
• For dynamic reversing operations in single-axis and multi-axis
systems, reuse the kinetic energy available in the system
Common
DC link bus
Functions
Customer advantages:
Servo presses, in addition, up to 10% energy saving when
compared to previous solutions with ALM
Lower line power peaks and optimized power costs
Minimized energy losses through kinetic energy buffering
Brief power failures are buffered

The solution:
• SINAMICS S120: Energy balancing via the common DC link
• Additional motor module connected to the common DC link,
including motor connected as kinetic energy storage device
(flywheel)
• Only excess energy is fed back into the line supply
