Industry 4.0 is seen as the new era of manufacturing, combining technology, robotics, artificial intelligence and automation to create an efficient and effective manufacturing process. Industrial use ...

Last spring, in response to California's recent electricity shortage, Governor Gray Davis signed a bill into law that provides financial incentives for upgrades that improve the efficiency of motor ...

In a little more than a year from now, most of your new motors must meet new efficiency levels mandated by federal legislation. On October 24 of next year and thereafter, most new motors manufactured ...

When someone says, “I’m here from the government and I’m here to help you,” skepticism is probably one of your reactions. With the passage of the Energy Act of 1992, however, the government may really ...

Some utility companies and public agencies have rebate programs in place to encourage customers to upgrade their existing standard-efficiency motors to NEMA Premium™ efficiency motors. Yet, to ...

As a group, electric motors represent one of the best opportunities to save energy and reduce operating costs in a power plant. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that American industry ...

Most servomotors have an efficiency in the range of 50 to 60%. But it is possible to devise positioning-motor architectures that deliver far better efficiency. One such class of devices is the Maxon ...

Energy makes up 80 percent of the cost of owning and operating a motor over its lifespan. That’s why motor makers have spent decades trying to build ever more energy-efficient designs. But with ...

Linear-motor driven plunger pumps are most efficient at transforming mechanical energy to hydraulic work in low-producing and highly deviated wells. Linear-motor driven plunger pumps (LMDPP) are most ...
