High torque synchronous drive/timing belts from AutomationDirect

April 28, 2020 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

belts

Synchronous drive belts and pulleys use teeth to prevent slippage and unwanted speed variations. AutomationDirect SureMotion 5M and 8M (5-mm and 8-mm pitch) high torque synchronous drive/timing belts have a curvilinear HTD (High Torque Drive) tooth profile which allows the belts to have a much larger pulley contact area for improved performance. The chloroprene belt […]

AC drives for motor and motion control

November 15, 2019 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Today’s VFDs perform far more than just traditional motor controls. Some include computing, I/O handling, and even motion-control capabilities. Such intelligent drives excel in smaller and localized systems. Case in point from material handling: Some VFDs with onboard PLCs work for motion control on infeed conveyors. In one specific case, a photoeye and tower light […]
