About variable speed drives from Age Technologies
These large, industrial electric motors have the capability to adjust its speed, by using an external controller. This electric motor is ultimately used in process control, making the process more efficient and cost-effective. Variable speed drives are used to save energy, due to the fact that the power that is fed to the machine can be controlled. The less power used, the more energy (and costs) are saved.
The size of the electric motor will determine the size of the variable speed drive. There are many sizes available from as small as a milk carton to as large as a cupboard. Age Technologies will help determine your variable speed drive needs, and offer the best speed control and cost-saving solution for your company.
Advantages of variable speed drives form Age Technologies
- A controlled start up ensures a reduced starting current, ultimately helping to extend the life of the motor.
- Power disturbance will be minimised, causing less disturbances to nearby equipment such as computers upon start up.
- Adjustable operating speeds enables users to optimise a process, and being able to adjust the speed as required.
- The ability to adjust the torque limit will help to protect the machinery from being damaged by too much torque.
- Energy consumption of the electric motor is lowered, ultimately saving on energy costs.
- Adjustable speed drives often eliminate the need for other components (such as gearboxes), saving you on additional equipment costs and floor space.
