Founded in Nashville, TN, in 1962, Bonitron started as an industrial electronics engineering company, focused on solving real-world problems with customized solutions. Initially focused on government contracts, Bonitron evolved into a provider of innovative electronic solutions for industrial processes.
Today, Bonitron offers thousands of products and solutions to industries around the world, ranging from braking resistors to energy storage systems. As an Encompass Partner with Rockwell Automation, Bonitron provides specialized solutions for Allen-Bradley® Drives, enhancing system reliability and performance with products like braking transistors, resistors, and line regeneration units.
What Do Bonitron Products Do?
Bonitron products are designed to enhance the performance of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and other drive systems, ensuring they run reliably and efficiently. Some key Bonitron products include:
- Braking Transistors and Resistors: Safely dissipate excess energy generated during motor braking, preventing overvoltage and improving system control.
- Energy Storage Solutions: Ensure continuous operation during power interruptions by storing energy that can be used during temporary power outages.
- Line Regeneration Systems: Recover energy during braking and return it to the grid, increasing overall system efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
- Uninterruptible Power for Drives (DC Bus Ride-Thru): Keep drives running smoothly during short power disturbances by providing uninterrupted power to critical systems.
- Portable Capacitor Formers: Condition and form capacitors to ensure optimal operation and long-term reliability.
- Power Supplies: Single and 3-phase power supplies to ensure consistent and stable power distribution for drive systems.
