If you are searching for a Lenze 8400 inverter drive, you may be looking for a replacement for an existing unit, a spare drive, or information about an 8400 fitted to an existing machine.
The Lenze 8400 range has been widely used across industrial applications for many years and includes several versions designed for different levels of control and automation.
The Lenze 8400 Range
The 8400 range includes:
- 8400 BaseLine
- 8400 StateLine
- 8400 HighLine
- 8400 TopLine
- 8400 Motec
The different versions were designed for a range of applications, from straightforward conveyor, pump and fan duties through to more demanding motion control and positioning applications.
Is the Lenze 8400 Still Available?
The 8400 BaseLine is no longer manufactured, while the remaining 8400 products are now part of Lenze’s previous product range.
Depending on the exact inverter and part number, there may still be availability of certain units. However, if you are looking for a replacement Lenze 8400 inverter, it is important to check the exact model before ordering.
The 8400 range includes several versions with different control, communication and application capabilities, so a replacement should not be selected based purely on the power rating.
Replacing a Lenze 8400 Inverter
For many applications, a newer Lenze drive from the i500 range, including the i550, may provide a suitable replacement route.
However, replacing an existing Lenze 8400 is not always simply a case of removing the old inverter and fitting a new one.
Things that may need to be considered include:
- Exact Lenze part number
- Power rating and supply voltage
- Motor type and rating
- Control and I/O requirements
- Communication protocols
- Encoder or feedback requirements
- Safety functions
- Existing machine programming and commissioning requirements
For this reason, we recommend checking the exact details of the existing Lenze 8400 before selecting a replacement.
