More speed
January 1st 2007 Engineers can benefit from replacing outdated mechanical speed controls with a modern easyto- use electronic solution, says Leroy-Somer. Its Varmeca motor with integral variable-speed drive in 2000 is one such solution. Most recently, Leroy-Somer has launched the Varmeca 30, which has extended the Varmeca range up to 11kW. Now available from 0.25 to 11kW and with shaft heights from 71 to 160mm, the Varmeca is a versatile and convenient way for machine builders to reap the rewards of true variable speed control in a wide range of common applications such as pumps, fans and mixers. Drawing on its experience of alternative design, Leroy-Somer says it was able to overcome many of the problems associated with combining electronics with rotating machinery.
