About SAM Antriebstechnik
SAM Antriebstechnik is an engineering service provider based in Hamburg, specialising in frequency converter drive technology and active since 2001. The company supports drive solutions throughout their entire life cycle: consulting and second opinions, on-site EMC measurements with root cause analysis, manufacturer-independent selection and parameterisation of frequency converters from 0.1 kW to 4 MW, ready-to-connect control cabinet construction as well as planning, delivery, commissioning and service – also worldwide. Technical focuses include sine converters, matrix converters with energy recovery, water-cooled frequency converters, converters for synchronous motors and converters with high overload capability, which can also be used in combination. Reference projects include over 1,200 completed installations, among them a 3.4 MW medium-voltage compressor for natural gas storage and a plant control system for oilseed processing in Argentina with 50 parameterised converters. Customers come from the process industry, the food and feed industry, agriculture, energy supply, water and wastewater technology, and mechanical and plant engineering.

Technologies & Processes
Sine Converter
Sinusoidal output voltage protects motor, bearings and grid, ideal for long motor cables and EMC-critical environments.
Matrix Converter (Yaskawa U1000)
Feed-back of braking energy into the grid, up to 60% savings in dynamic processes.
Water-Cooled Frequency Converter
Up to 75% more efficient cooling in a compact design, suitable for mills, presses and medium voltage.
Converter for Synchronous Motors
For synchronous reluctance and permanent-magnet synchronous motors with high energy efficiency and precise torque control.
Converter with High Overload Capability
For critical starting torques, heavy-duty starts and peak loads.
Medium-Voltage Converter (3.3–20 kV)
Multilevel technology with 30-pulse feed-in for high power with minimal grid feedback.
EMC Measurement & Grid Analysis
On-site measurements for root cause analysis of power quality and disturbances.
Energy Recovery / Peak Shaving
Absorbing load peaks and recovering braking energy to reduce electricity and demand charges.
