Variable-pitch drives are the simplest of all mechanical adjustable-speed mechanisms. Most of these drives use rubber belts. However, chain types are unmatched in regard to its particular strong ...

To coordinate more than one aspect of a process, variable-speed drives must be able to communicate with many devices. To illustrate, on a bottle labeling system, the drive must be able to precisely ...

A variable frequency driven (VFD) is a type of motor that controls the levels of frequency and voltage that alter the speed of an electric motor. The drive alters torque and motor speed and can be ...

It is interesting to look at figures from the Energy Information Administration about where energy gets consumed in our economy. These figures reveal that industrial uses account for 31% of all energy ...

For many retrofit projects, the use of a VFD seems like a “no brainer.” Drives are now cheaper and more reliable than ever, and the benefits of efficient control of motors can’t be beat. Still, there ...

The GA800 variable speed drives handle applications ranging from simple fans and pumps to high-performance test dynamometers requiring precise regulation. They feature highly flexible network ...
