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 […]

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 […]

Servo Drive Repair

Servo drive repair is usually less expensive with a faster turnaround as opposed to ordering a new servo drive. Many servo drives being used in production are obsolete, which creates a high demand for servo drive repair. Manufacturers often keep spare servo drives for crucial applications, because production loss typically exceeds the cost of a […]
