Duty ratings that decide the fit
The 6SL3210-1PE31-1AL0: The PM240-2 carries two distinct output ratings: 45 kW under High Overload (HO) with 200% for 3 s, 150% for 57 s, 100% for 240 s at ambient -20 to +50 °C, and 55 kW under Low Overload (LO) with 150% for 3 s, 110% for 57 s, 100% for 240 s at -20 to +40 °C. The HO rating governs applications with repetitive peak torque demands — conveyors, crushers, punch presses — while the LO rating suits variable-torque loads like fans and pumps where the drive rarely exceeds nameplate. Built-in Class A filter and braking chopper mean the drive meets EN 61800-3 Category C2 conducted emissions out of the box and can dissipate regenerative energy through an external resistor without an add-on module. That saves a DIN-rail slot and a wiring step in the panel.
Panel integration and cooling
Blocksize format with dimensions 551 x 275 x 237 mm (H x W x D) and IP20 protection — the drive needs clearance above and below for natural convection airflow. No fan ducting required in a standard ventilated enclosure, but the ambient ceiling of 50 °C (HO) or 40 °C (LO) sets the cabinet cooling requirement. The 595 x 400 x 350 mm shipping package gives the rough footprint for inbound logistics planning.
Regulatory and compliance documentation
RoHS compliant since 01-01-17, with a REACH Article 33 declaration for lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w. Export control classification is AL: N / ECCN: 9N9999 — no special licensing for most destinations. The product class is A (standard stock item, returnable within policy period), which simplifies warranty and RMA handling.
