An electric motor is usually connected to the equipment it drives through a coupling (a shaft connection element). The quality of this connection, namely the alignment of the motor... More Details

Ideally, the voltage and current in an electrical supply take the form of a smooth sine wave. Today, however, many electronic devices and drives distort this clean wave, creating u... More Details

The asphalt used to build roads, highways and airport runways is produced in asphalt plants. These plants carry out many stages at once, from aggregate feeding and drying to screen... More Details

In many industrial applications, an electric motor does not work on its own but together with a gearbox. A gearbox is a gear system that lowers the motor's speed to increase torque... More Details

An electric motor heats up to a certain degree while running; this is natural. However, overheating is the motor's greatest enemy. High temperature wears out the insulation, strain... More Details

Efficiency in electric motors is a continuously advancing field. After the efficiency classes that climbed from IE1 to IE4, the highest step of all now arrives: the IE5 ultra-premi... More Details

When an electric motor is switched off, it does not stop immediately; because of inertia, it keeps turning for a while. In most applications this is not a problem, but in some it i... More Details

Paper and pulp production is a continuous, energy-intensive industry made up of many stages, from processing the raw material to winding the finished product. In these plants, refi... More Details

Food and beverage production plants are environments with special requirements such as hygiene, continuity and safety. In these plants, pumps, mixers, conveyors, filling lines and ... More Details

Conveyor and belt systems carry material from one point to another in countless plants, from mining to food, from packaging to heavy industry. Whether these lines run uninterrupted... More Details

In most facilities, electric motors are the single largest item of total energy consumption; in industry this share can rise to as much as 60-70 percent. Yet how much energy these ... More Details

From wells and deep water to wastewater plants and agricultural irrigation, many applications require water to be lifted from depth to the surface. This task is handled by special ... More Details

The safe operation of an electric motor depends not only on correct selection and maintenance, but also on proper grounding. Grounding safely conducts any leakage currents that may... More Details

The noise an electric motor makes and the vibration it produces directly affect both the comfort of the working environment and the health of the motor itself. Excessive noise is v... More Details

Compressors are the machines that produce compressed air in industry; they are the lifeblood of production lines and many pneumatic systems. The electric motor that drives these ma... More Details

Mills and grinding plants are used to reduce and pulverize a huge range of materials, from grain to cement and from ore to spices. Inside these plants, the material is crushed betw... More Details

Plastic injection moulding machines produce countless everyday products by injecting molten plastic into moulds. The performance, speed precision and energy efficiency of these mac... More Details

Many of the electric motors used in homes and small businesses run on a single-phase (monophase) supply. From washing machines to water pumps, from small fans to compressors, a hug... More Details

An electric motor can never convert all of the energy it draws from the grid into mechanical movement; a portion of that energy inevitably appears as loss. These losses define the ... More Details

Fans and blowers move air in a wide range of applications such as ventilation, cooling, dust extraction and smoke evacuation. Whether these systems run quietly, efficiently and con... More Details
