Increasing demands for flexibility, reliability, and ease of use, are prompting ac drive manufacturers like ABB to “come up with a number of solutions to make life simpler and cheaper for its ...

AC motors are abundant in the HVAC industry. Every fan and pump application requires an AC motor. For efficient and reliable control, adjustable-speed drives are becoming a common companion for these ...

MotiFlex e100 Ethernet-compatible 3-phase AC motor drives can be used in both centralized control and distributed “intelligent drive” scenarios Jan. 22, 2007 MotiFlex e100 Ethernet-compatible 3-phase ...

When powering AC motors, the electrical supply can be at full power to run at full speed or at variable power to run at variable speed. Applications with varying loads benefit from the variable speed ...

Industrial motor drives used in robotic applications such as CNC machines, x-y tables, factory automation robots, and actuators often require high performance and robust power devices. The motor of ...

The AC induction motor is often referred to as the workhorse of the industry because it offers users simple, rugged construction, easy maintenance, and cost-effective pricing. These factors have ...

In low-cost, high-speed motor applications, especially those inside the home, the universal motor dominates. They are as ubiquitous as the countertop blenders and the power tools they inhabit. But not ...

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

Greater use of robots in the world of automation is bringing about higher productivity in manufacturing, as well as lowering costs. To meet those objectives, robots must have faster response times as ...

Expanding the IndustrialTuff line of variable-frequency drive (VFD) cables is a variety of components for greater noise protection with the ability to support more powerful ac-motor drives. Part ...

The first linear motor was conceived by Wheatstone more than 100 years ago. But large air gaps and low efficiencies prevented linear motors from being widely used. Though they still have relatively ...
