Hot Off The Press: December 2025
Hot Off The Press December 2025 3 off custom gearboxes for a manual handling application. We combined a 2:1 bevel gearbox with a 60:1 Pujol cast iron worm gearbox so provide the required slow speed and torque, that will also prevent back drive during operation. 12 flange mounted compact PAM variators fitted with 1.5kw Teco […]
Understanding Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs): How VFDs Work, The Three Core Stages
Understanding Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs): How VFDs Work, The Three Core Stages At its core, a VFD is a power conversion device. It takes standard fixed-frequency AC power from the mains and transforms it into a variable-frequency, variable-voltage output to control a motor. This complex conversion happens in three distinct stages: the Rectifier, the DC […]
Understanding Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs): Why VFDs Matter in Modern Industry
Understanding Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs): Why VFDs Matter in Modern Industry In any modern industrial facility, the silent hum of efficiency is often orchestrated by a critical component: the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). Often referred to as inverters or AC drives, a VFD is a sophisticated power conversion device. Its purpose is to precisely control […]
