For existing installations, replacing a DC motor with a new one – as opposed to redesigning the motor circuit to use an AC motor and drive – is almost always less expensive, quicker and easier. Along the same lines, the simple design of DC motors makes service, maintenance and control well understood and easily supportable.
Although variable speed induction motor drives are generally expensive than d drives, they are used in a number of applications such as fans, blowers, mill run-out tables, crane conveyers, traction, etc. because of the advantages of induction motors.

"RPM AC motors are ideally suited for use in variable speed applications that have traditionally been the realm of DC motors, but RPM AC offers many advantages over DC, with the most important being reduced maintenance requirements," said Rick Kirkpatrick, Global Product Manager for Laminated AC and DC frame motors.
Advantages of the wound rotor/SER drive are: If the SER converter drive fails, the drive can be switched to fixed speed bypass - starting the usual way with the LRS. The converter only needs to be sized for 15-20% of the total motor rating with associated reduction in floor space, air-conditioning etc.
February, 2004 -- August, 2011. The primary power in a vertical milling machine is an electric motor driving the spindle. In this project, I replaced the original 1-HP 3-phase 230 VAC electric spindle motor on a Bridgeport machine with a 3/4-HP DC drive motor.

DC motors, while far less complex than servo motors are also easy to control; reverse the leads to change directions, and change the voltage to change the speed. These motors are both easily controllable, but their gap in complexity changes the resolution of control. The torque/speed range of DC motors is increased by just how many types of DC ...
Motor testing assesses the integrity of a motor through the use of computer-supported equipment or tools that monitor trends within the motor. The main objective of motor testing is to reveal hidden problems and prevent unnecessary failure. Specific to electric motors, motor testing evaluates static parameters like insulation, wire damage and ...
7. Slip Ring Induction Motor. It has high starting torque and large overload capacity. The speed of slip ring induction motor can be changed up to 50% of its normal speed. Slip ring induction motor is used for those industrial drives which require high starting torque and speed control such as lifts, pumps, winding machines, presses, line shafts, elevators …
Revised by William R. Perkins, in Reference Data for Engineers (Ninth Edition), 2002. Step Motors. Step motors are electromechanical incremental actuators that convert digital pulse inputs to analog output shaft motion. The advantage of a step motor is that the motor can be driven directly by digital inputs through the power drive, and no interface D/A conversion is …
Variable Frequency Drive, Irrespective of 50 Hz and 60Hz, by putting all the motor parameters you can control: 1. Speed Acc. to varying Frequency. 2. Generate outputs to synchronize speed in forms of 0 /20 mA or 0 - 10 V D,C 3. Smooth startup and controlling brake operations. 4. You can use ramp up and ramp down features for smooth stoppages ...

The servo motor is an assembly of four things: a normal DC motor, a gear reduction unit, a position-sensing device, and a control circuit. The DC motor is connected with a gear mechanism that provides feedback to a position sensor which is mostly a potentiometer. From the gearbox, the output of the motor is delivered via servo spline to the servo arm.
The poles of the gearless or synchronous motor (also called wrap-around motor or ring motor) are directly installed on the pole flange of the mill shell, turning the mill body into the rotor. The stator is then wrapped around the mill. The gearless motor is fed by a cycloconverter which has a rated output frequency of around 5 Hz for the GMD drive.
Traction drives for on- and off-road vehicles can be designed with or without a gearbox; both variants can be useful in practice. The following text is to illustrate the respective advantages and disadvantages as well as give specific application examples of when it is advantageous to use a gearbox in an electric drive train or when a direct drive is the better …

A traction motor is an electric motor used to drive a piece of machinery. Consisting of heavy wire wound inside of the motor's case known as the field windings and wire wound around the motor's inner shaft called the armature, the electric power is transported between the two elements through brushes. The brushes are small, spring-loaded ...
Advantages of SER drives for SAG mills Friday, December 19, 2014 For large mills requiring variable speed, the wound rotor motor and SER drive are economical for a total rating of approximately 2MW to 16MW. Above 16MW, the gearless drive (cyclo-converter) is typically used because gearboxes and pinion gears reach their present limit in size.

Understanding Variable Speed Drives (Part 1) Operating a motor at the outer limits of its voltage requirements reduces its efficiency and causes premature failure. Three basic types of variable frequency drives offer certain advantages as well as disadvantages depending on your motor application. The new flux vector drive is also discussed.
A variable frequency drive (VFD), also known as AC variable speed drive, AC variable frequency drive, VFD inverter or variable voltage variable frequency drive, is a type of motor controller that drives an electric motor by varying the frequency and voltage of its power supply. VFD control also has the capacity to control ramp-up and ramp-down of the motor during start or stop, …
1. Most drives have two sheaves, one on the motor and one on the driven machine. The motor base usually has slotted holes to allow for adjustment toward and away from the driven machine. Loosen the motor hold down bolts and move the motor toward the drive machine to the inner end of the adjustment to release tension on the belts. Use a pry
Advantages of Chain drive: A chain drive has several advantages like: Low maintenance. Greater efficiency up to 97 percent. Slipping is negligible; Chain drive can operate in wet conditions too.
