Dynamatic Eddy-Current Drives: Easy Installation for Industrial Applications

Industries that require AC motor drives such as metal forming, chemical, textile, paper, asphalt and aggregate, etc. can benefit by installing Dynamatic "AS" Eddy-Current drives.  These are drives that are simplistic in design to minimize maintenance costs and are also easy to install in those tough-to-reach areas.  Minimal wiring is required because these drives can be used with any three phase voltage input.  They can also be used in various applications around the world thanks to their availability in 50, 60 and 50/60 Hz units.  They can be installed vertically without spending extra dollars on complex modifications. 

If you need a drive for a hard-to-reach place such as towers, pits or atop large machinery, the drives can be installed up to 500 feet from the controller to solve this issue. This is because the drives only use 1 percent of line power.  The drives come with an internal air cooling system, so no need to install an additional cooling system with the drive.  With savings on maintenance costs, simplicity of design and operation, and their tough build, Dynamatic AS Eddy-Current drives are often the drive of choice for these types of applications. 

Vintage eddy-current drives, replacement parts (to factory standards), and Dynamatic drives are available at a reasonable price, so compare these to variable frequency drives if you're in the market for a new AC motor drive or controller.  Carotron now offers Dynamatic products including eddy-current drives, brakes and controllers.
