The basic application for a VFD is one where an AC motor must be run with some aspect of control over the speed, accel/decel or torque. Cranes, fans, pumps, mixers, conveyors, and similar applications are all candidates for using a VFD.

Parker Electronic Motion and Controls division recently announced 4 week lead times on select product series and option sets.

Don't wait until it's too late, Kyntronics' actuators can help prevent disasters and improve your bottom line.

The answer might not be so obvious when deciding to use pre-engineered “Cartesian Robots” versus more modularly designed gantries.

Mitsubishi announced the discontinuation of their old legacy J2S product line back in 2015 and official repair services for this product ended in August 2022. If you haven’t already looked into upgrading to the J4, now is the time!

Is unchecked vibration affecting your bottom line? Vibration can bring any high-speed, high-precision process to an unexpected – and costly – standstill.

Global competition requires manufacturers to strive for operational excellence to ensure they are competitive. This requires continuous improvements in terms of reliability, reduced unscheduled downtime, lower maintenance costs, extended equipment life, optimized energy consumption, improved sustainability, and greater throughput.

Reducing your carbon footprint and enhancing sustainability are imperatives in today’s world. Emerson's expertise in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and sustainability-enhancing products and software provide the right actionable insights for optimized energy management.

We’ve been finding more and more circumstances where customers find it beneficial to run their variable frequency drives (VFD) to failure, potentially damaging the VFD beyond repair. This is an interesting concept for people to wrap their mind around at first.

For both process and discrete motion control applications of actuators, many of the terminologies uttered and the base technologies utilized are similar. The difference comes in with the application and evolution of these base technologies.
