Columbus McKinnon Introduces Magnetek® HPV 900 Series 3 AC Elevator Drive

Columbus McKinnon is proud to introduce the latest iteration of its Magnetek® HPV 900 family with the launch of the HPV 900 Series 3 AC Elevator Drive. Now available for order, the HPV 900 Series 3 drives are designed for dependable performance and long-term value. The HPV 900 Series 3 is a direct drop-in replacement for Series 2 drives, providing a simple transition to the new model.  

Direct Drop-In Replacement for the HPV Series 2 

The HPV 900 Series 3 drops directly into existing Series 2 installations, making upgrades fast and disruption-free. It lets teams modernize performance without redesigning the system. 

Easy Sizing 

The drive is simple to size, helping installers select the right model with confidence. It removes complexity, so projects can move forward quickly. Choosing the correct drive is straightforward because it you only need to select a unit with a higher amp rating than the motor nameplate FLA. This reduces guesswork and ensures proper performance from day one. 

Encoder Feedback 

Built-in encoder feedback delivers precise motor control for smoother, more consistent operation. It enhances responsiveness and overall ride quality. The HPV 900 Series 3 includes native support for incremental encoders to streamline setup, eliminating the need for additional hardware and speeding up commissioning. With an optional EnDat card, the drive fully supports gearless machines. This gives installers more flexibility across a wide range of elevator configurations. 

Dependable Performance  

The HPV 900 Series 3 is engineered for reliable operation, reducing downtime and service calls. Its long service life delivers strong value for building owners and service teams. 

Familiar Parameters and Menu Structure

Technicians will recognize the menu layout and parameters from previous generations. This familiarity shortens learning curves and keeps installation and maintenance efficient. 

MagExplorer for PC connectivity

MagExplorer integration gives teams a powerful tool for configuration, monitoring, and diagnostics. It simplifies service work and helps resolve issues quickly. 

Integrated Braking Transistor for All Drive Sizes 

With a built-in braking transistor across every drive size, there is no need for external components. This reduces panel complexity and increases installation flexibility.
