Electronic Soft Start VS Variable Frequency Drive

Electric motors that start up across the line require a lot of energy when accelerating up to the motor’s full speed. Reducing the inrush current in an electric motor that has to frequently start and stop will reduce electric motor heating, which results in a longer lifespan of the electric motor. In pump, fan, mixer, […]

Brushless Servo Motors

Brushless servo motors are used when an industrial application requires high performance and precise speed regulation. Brushless servo motors are manufactured with a designated controller known as a servo drive or servo driver. Brushless servo motors use position feedback to precisely regulate motor control by being paired with an encoder. Encoders measure a brushless servo motor’s output […]
