Suited to use in distributed control
applications on conveyors, materials
handling systems, and all installations
that benefit from a decentralised
motor control system, the latest Rapid
Link 4.0 motor control units from
Eaton’s Electrical Sector combine
versatility, ease of installation,
convenient plugable connections,
space-saving compact construction
and an IP65 rating that allows them
to be used in tough environments.

The Rapid Link 4.0 range includes
direct-on-line and reversing motor
starters with electronic motor
protection for 0.3-3kW and variable
speed drives with four ratings up to
2.2kW. All models have the same
fixing arrangements and dimensions,
which simplifies both plant design
and equipment installation. The
standardised design means that
fitting a variable speed drive unit in
place of a direct on-line starter – or
vice-versa – is a straightforward and
inexpensive task.
