Mitsubishi Servo Motor Repair

Many Mitsubishi servo motors across the globe are obsolete, which is why Mitsubishi servo motor repair has such high demand. For Mitsubishi servo motors that are not obsolete, the availability of the Mitsubishi servo motor usually exceeds the repair lead time. Equipment failure is the number one factor in production loss for manufacturing facilities across […]

Eaton SVX9000 Drive Repair

The Eaton SVX9000 variable frequency drive is often seen on Sullair air compressor applications, because it provides Sullair air compressor applications with sensorless vector technology, as well as high speed output frequency up to 7200 Hz. Eaton SVX9000 variable frequency drives automatically identify motor parameters in sensorless vector mode as well as U/f mode, which keeps […]

Variable Speed Drive Motors

Variable speed drive motors, also known as inverter-duty motors, are an asset in the industrial manufacturing world. When using a variable speed drive, variable speed drive motors are less likely to fail during production than general purpose motors. Variable speed drive motors exceed general purpose motors in performance, because variable speed drive motors are manufactured […]

Industrial Manufacturing Retrofit

Manufacturers tend to avoid original equipment manufacturers’ retrofit solutions, because original equipment manufacturers offer retrofits are cost-prohibited and time consuming. Once manufacturers’ equipment is not operating efficiently, maintenance technicians seek alternatives to maximize production. Maintenance technicians initially contact the original equipment manufacturer for solutions to speed up production lines in their manufacturing facilities. Once the original […]

Types of Variable Speed Drives

There are three general types of variable speed drives- DC Motor drives, Eddy Current Drives, and AC Motor drives. Each type of variable speed drive can be divided into different variations. Every variable speed drive system will include an electric motor and a speed control unit. Variable speed drive technology today mainly consists of solid state […]

ABB manufactures low voltage and medium voltage AC variable frequency drives for all applications in the industrial manufacturing world. ABB  variable frequency drives offer specific functionality in all applications. ABB variable frequency drives […]

Variable Frequency Drive Basics

Variable frequency drives are also known as (VFDs), variable speed drives (VSDs), adjustable speed drives, and inverters. Variable frequency drives are solid state controllers used in AC or DC electric motor applications. Most variable frequency drives are applied on alternating current (AC) electric motors in the industrial manufacturing world. There are some direct current (DC) […]

Variable Frequency Drive

A variable frequency drive is a solid state motor speed controller that is applied to alternating current (AC) electric motors. A variable frequency drive is also known as a VFD, inverter, variable speed drive, VSD, or a motor controller. Most pump, fan and air compressor applications use variable frequency drives to increase and decrease acceleration and […]

Servo Motor Controller

A servo motor controller system is also known as a servo drive, servo amp, and a servo control system. A servo motor controller is an electronic device used to power and control a servo motor. A servo motor controller monitors and regulates the servo motor for precise speed regulation and positioning. Most manufacturers design servo […]
