Tighter speed regulation (typically ±0.05%) is often the benefit of an encoder-based variable-speed drive, but costs more up front. Lower speed regulation (typically -3% to -5%), which is offered by ...

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 ...

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 ...

As a hybrid technology that combines mechanical and electrical systems, electrohydraulic variable speed drives allow for motor speed adjustments to conserve energy and provide precise control over ...

In an industry evolving alongside consumer concerns over rising energy costs, impact on the environment, and, of course, stricter regulations handed down by the government, new technologies are ...

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 ...
