Torque is the measure of the turning force of an object about an axis. When applying a variable speed drive to a motor application it is critical to consider the torque requirement of the load. Variable speed drives manufacturers generally assign their drives into one of three categories according to their torque and power […]
These new drives are available with ratings up to 132 kW, feature an extensive range of built-in application functions, such as brake control, bypass motor control, orientation stop and automatic energy saving optimisation for fan and pump applications. The RX can handle simple positioning tasks without the need for an external motion controller; […]

Features include an extensive range of built-in application functions, such as brake control, bypass motor control, orientation stop and automatic energy saving optimisation for fan and pump applications. The RX can handle simple positioning tasks without the need for an external motion […]
An introduction on how the installation of variable frequency drives saves significant sums of money when applied to fan and pump motors, and how you can convince your manager. Let’s start with an analogy: Imagine running a car at full throttle and controlling the speed by using the brakes. In addition to the noise, […]
It depends who’s asking, and what the application is, but generally speaking the answer is no. Most inverter drives are designed for use with three phase motors. If you have a high torque application like a lathe, or are using pulleys or gearboxes then you will need a three phase motor. Fitting a […]
