The VLT® DriveMotor FCM 300 drive has reached the Inactive phase of its lifecycle, which means it is discontinued and no longer in production. Spare parts and service options are no longer available. Operating a drive in this phase may result in unpredictable process downtime due to wear or failure.
Danfoss recommends replacement using the DrivePro® Retrofit service to optimize lifetime and circular value in your installation.
We will help you select the best replacement product with the correct features for your application. Our intelligent products can optimize your system for many years to come.
