Variable frequency drives in mechanical engineering: practical explanations of applications and use cases

VFDs have long been more than just “speed controllers” in mechanical engineering. They are a process tool that turns a rigid mains supply into a variably controllable motor supply – and thus turns “on/off” into a movement that can be specifically adapted to the product, process, and environment. Technically speaking, a VFD converts the constant mains voltage and mains frequency…

The right drive – applications for servo drives

The choice of drive principle and architecture influences performance, costs, life cycle expenses, and sustainability. Depending on the application – from pick-and-place to conveying to winding – there are different ways to achieve the desired result. Read more
