Gearmotors: continued integration, end-user demands drive gearmotor advances
Miles Budimir Senior Editor Gearmotors, a well-established technology, are motors designed with an integrated gear reducer. Gearmotors are most common in applications that need a lot of force to move heavy objects. Most industrial gearmotors incorporate fixed-speed ac motors. However, some gearmotors use dc motors, which are common in automotive applications. Gearmotors continue to improve. In […]
Rugged drive controls speed on ac motors to one horsepower
A new variable-speed ac motor speed control is simple to setup and operate.
