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 ...

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 ...

RS Americas, an industrial automation and electronics distributor, now offers variable speed drives (VSDs) for solar powered pumping applications from Schneider Electric, an automation technology ...

Compressed air is a vital utility to most commercial and industrial operations. It runs essential tools and machinery, provides power to material-handling systems, and clean air to processes. Yet ...

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 ...

Danfoss Power Solutions has introduced its Vickers by Danfoss Variable Speed Drive (VSD) portfolio across Europe, the Middle ...

NovaTorque Inc.’s family of Gen2.0 PremiumPlus+ Electronically Commutated Permanent Magnet (ECPM) motors will soon be available in high speed 3hp and 5hp 2400 rpm (maximum speed 3600 rpm) models. Also ...

Imagine an easy-to-install industrial technology that reduces energy consumption, eliminates mechanical vibrations and electronic harmonics, relaxes alignment tolerances and cuts maintenance needs.

When powering AC motors, the electrical supply can be at full power to run at full speed or at variable power to run at variable speed. Applications with varying loads benefit from the variable speed ...

“Variable speed compressors and drives act similarly to a car’s accelerator pedal, which enables the driver to control and match the speed of the car to their exact needs at any given moment or road ...
