Variable speed drives are transforming modern irrigation by shifting control from valves to pump speed. Instead of running motors at full capacity and throttling flow, the drives adjust motor speed to ...

John Deere has introduced an expanded 8R and 8RX tractor range with power outputs up to 634 hp. The high-horsepower tractors ...

Variable speed drives (VSDs), sometimes also known as variable frequency drives, are electronic devices used to regulate the speed of an ac induction motor. Electric motors consume approximately 25% ...

Geothermal heat pumps (GHPs) have been around for a long time, but recent technological advances have propelled these systems into a new sphere of efficiency and comfort, said Doug Dougherty, ...

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers ...

Motors are driving demand for electricity, accounting for about half of the electricity we consume, according to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). Many of these motors are found throughout ...

The MDrive34Plus2 Speed Control combines a motor, driver, and encoder, and includes a programmable digital oscillator for accurate, variable-speed control. The device uses a NEMA-Size-34 brushless ...

A1000 variable speed drive has a calculated design life twice as long as previous generations. Compatibility with interior and surface permanent magnet motors produces up to 200 percent torque with or ...
