Case Studies
World-class Brazilian training academy chooses Optidrive E3s for training. The project involved the installation of 187 Optidrive E3 VFDs for the kits on 35 training units.
Mixing it up with VFD technology to create environmentally friendly renewable energy. Processes are made easier using the Optidrive E3 VFDs.
Sanitary conveyor manufacturer opts for Optidrive NEMA 4X VFDs for improved motion, control and communication.
Product Documentation
Can I adjust the speed with a direct drive like I can with a belt drive?
Not by changing a sheave size since that component is eliminated, but there are things to consider…
- How often are you really changing the speed?
- The flexibility of changing a sheave size also puts your system at risk. Are you overspeeding beyond the reducer's capabilities? Are you slowing down too much and causing the backstop spragues to drag and wear?
If you are utilizing a VFD, that can control your speed.
- If you find out you truly need to change your speed, our BBB is the only direct drive on the market that has a Cyclo cartridge that could be changed to change your overall speed eliminating the need for a whole new reducer. Work with your Sumitomo rep to consider this.
