An electric motor is an inherent part of any industry. It is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to be used for industrial applications as diverse as machine tools, industrial fans, pumps and blowers, power tools, household appliances etc. Continue reading
Gearbox forms an important component in many industrial applications as they are used to change the standard speed factor of electric motors. Hence, ensuring their optimum working efficiency is a vital necessity and for this its lubrication system becomes a crucial factor. Continue reading
Electric Motors are the silent workhorses of any industry. They are the ones responsible for the smooth and effective running of the industrial plants. If one of them fails, then it can lead to costly downtime for the plant and disrupt the normal flow of operations. Hence, it is essential to ensure that most of the causes that can lead to motor failures are taken care of. Continue reading
Energy efficiency in commercial and industrial facilities helps to reduce costs, increase profits and stay ahead of competition. In most of the industrial establishments the major user of energy is the electric motor. Hence, energy efficiency should be a major factor to be considered when buying Crompton Greaves electric motors. Continue reading
CG Drives and Automations have been providing world class motor control equipments to users, operators, system integrators and OEM’s around the world for 35 years. Continue reading
Speed drives are devices used in machines run on motors. The function of the speed drives is to provide precision motor control so that the motor can be run on optimal speed and use only as much power as is needed, instead of having to run at a fixed speed and consume excess energy. Continue reading
In order to change the speed (RPM) or the output torque of a motor, a mechanical device needs to be used – a gearbox. The shaft of the motor is attached to one side of the gearbox and offers a given torque as output and speed which is determined by the gear ratio, through the internal arrangement of gears within a gearbox.
There are several types of electric motors which include alternating current (AC) motors, direct current (DC) motors, and universal motors. All kinds of industries are required to install some type of motor as part of the driving force behind their production line. Modern technical development has made available a wide variety of electric motors for industrial use.
Electric motors play a pivotal role in any industry. Research indicates that as much as 70% of all electric energy used is being consumed by the electric motors. Therefore, if you want to increase productivity and reduce your operating costs, you need to buy energy efficient motors. Continue reading
Geared motor is a motion force system comprising of a casing with reduction gears and electric motor inside it. Inside the casing the gears and the motor can be built as per the precise specifications.
One of the advantages of a geared motor is that it holds both the motor and the gears in one casing. As such, it acts as a space saver for the final component. The gear motors are so flexible that one can engineer it to upsize or downsize depending on where these are to be used, be it for commercial use or for home use. Continue reading
