Tighter speed regulation (typically ±0.05%) is often the benefit of an encoder-based variable-speed drive, but costs more up front. Lower speed regulation (typically -3% to -5%), which is offered by ...

It is interesting to look at figures from the Energy Information Administration about where energy gets consumed in our economy. These figures reveal that industrial uses account for 31% of all energy ...

Applications often end up with poorly-specified drives and other motion-control components. Often that is because engineers and designers overlook characteristics such as motor type, torque, power and ...

The GSD1 series drives are pulse-width-modulated (PWM) controllers for 12-36 V battery/solar-powered equipment and feature adjustable maximum/minimum speed, current limit, IR compensation and ...

RS Americas, an industrial automation and electronics distributor, now offers variable speed drives (VSDs) for solar powered pumping applications from Schneider Electric, an automation technology ...
