Variable-stroke drives are most widely used in low-speed applications below 1.5 hp. They compete mainly with belt and chain drives and have running efficiencies near 80%. However, unlike belts, ...

The most reliable means for changing shaft speed remains a mechanical variable-speed transmission. These drives are used to provide a variable output speed from a constant-speed power source (as in a ...

As a hybrid technology that combines mechanical and electrical systems, electrohydraulic variable speed drives allow for motor speed adjustments to conserve energy and provide precise control over ...

In an industry evolving alongside consumer concerns over rising energy costs, impact on the environment, and, of course, stricter regulations handed down by the government, new technologies are ...
