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 ...

Variable speed drives (VSDs), sometimes also known as variable frequency drives, are electronic devices used to regulate the speed of an ac induction motor. Electric motors consume approximately 25% ...

When Tesla first introduced the 3-phase alternating current (AC) induction motor in 1888, he knew that his invention was more efficient and reliable than Edison's direct current (DC) motor. However, ...

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