ABB Unifies Motor and Drive in a Streamlined Plug-and-Play Platform
ABB’s new LV Titanium Variable Speed Motor platform delivers the benefits of a high-efficiency motor and variable speed drive (VSD) technology in a single, compact, customizable, plug-and-play solution that enables industrial customers to minimize their energy consumption, save money and reduce carbon emissions.
The LV Titanium offers a simple and cost-effective way to provide IE5 Ultra-Premium efficiency for pumps, compressors and many other applications. As a drop-in replacement for existing direct-online (DOL) induction motors, the Variable Speed Motor provides an easy upgrade path to a VSD-driven motor with a fast ROI.
The innovative LV Titanium platform is far more than a drive simply bolted on to a motor. Instead, it is engineered as a fully integrated concept, with an advanced drive module purpose-designed from the outset for optimal performance with a high efficiency permanent magnet (PM) motor. This sleek, streamlined design, with the axial drive mounted on the end of the motor, saves space and makes the LV Titanium ideal for applications like vertical pumps. It is also remarkably quiet in operation.
A further advantage is that it can operate over a wide range of speed and torque requirements, with the capability to deliver high torque at low speeds.

SEW-EURODRIVE’s Innovation Hub’s Automated Fork Lift
July 7, 2025
SEW-EURODRIVE’s Innovation Hub’s Automated Fork Lift. Automated guided vehicle (AGVS) systems are currently used for assembly lines in many different industry sectors. They are used to automate in-house material flows or serve as the basis for flexible assembly. However, AGVs have limitations, specifically when palletized payloads are in the final stages of throughput, usually riding along on a conveyor system ready to be lifted and loaded into a trailer. SEW-EURODRIVE is changing that.
