The inherent torque capacity and drive characteristics of Direct Current electric motors make them the perfect choice to overcome many drive issues.
We recently had an application where the customer’s existing AC motor was not delivering under load, causing problems the whole way down the line. After searching for problems all the way through the electrical side, the decision was made to convert the motor to a DC unit of the same kilowatt capacity and approximate speed.
After also changing the drive that went with it, the new Baldor DC motor has performed flawlessly.
In many instances, thinking around the problem to work through it is the most effective way to make the problem go away.
