SEW MOVIDRIVE MDX61B0055-5A3-4-0T | 5.5kW Application Version Inverter

Overview

The SEW-Eurodrive MOVIDRIVE MDX61B0055-5A3-4-0T is an application-version drive rated for 5.5kW (7.5HP), built to handle both general motor control and more demanding motion tasks. It runs on a 3-phase 380–500VAC supply (±10%) at 50/60Hz, delivering a rated output current of 12.5A and 8.7kVA of output power across a 0–400Hz frequency range. As a Size 2 drive, it sits comfortably in the mid-power segment of the MOVIDRIVE range.

Control flexibility is a real strength here — VFC (voltage flux control) and CFC (current flux control)/Servo modes are both supported, giving you the option to run straightforward open-loop control or step up to precision closed-loop performance depending on the application. Being an application version, it also includes electronic cam and internal synchronous operation functions, plus the integrated IPOSplus® positioning and sequence control system, so positioning and coordinated-motion tasks can be handled directly on the drive rather than needing external motion controllers.

Safety is built in too, with an integrated STO (Safe Torque Off) function compliant with Performance Level d per EN ISO 13849-1 — a meaningful feature if your application needs certified safe stopping without external safety relays. The modular design supports optional communication and encoder modules, so the drive can be expanded as your networking or feedback needs grow. It’s rated for 0°C to +50°C ambient (with derating above 40°C) and up to 1000m altitude without derating, and carries CE, UL, cUL, GOST-R, and C-Tick compliance for international deployment.
