Speed optimization features also improve productivity, as do remote operator interfaces that link and coordinate multiple drives. What can designers do to ensure higher productivity from the ...

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 USE OF INVERTER-BASED variable speed drives (VSDs) in home appliances is forecast to double over the next five years, according to the latest detailed assessment of the market from IMS Research.

Compressors with variable-frequency drives work more efficiently than conventional units, and reduce maintenance costs and noise levels. Compressed air is a vital utility to most commercial and ...

Variable frequency drives (VFDs), also known as variable speed drives (VSDs), are used to modulate the speed of motors in various applications, from hydronic water pumping to VAV fan units to vacuum ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

As part of an ABB Motion OneCare service agreement, ABB has modernized a variable speed drive (VSD) for NASA to extend, by at least 10 years, the life of the wind tunnel at its National Transonic ...
