Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a gear drive and a belt drive?
Gear drives and belt drives are both used to transmit power, but they work in different ways. Gear drives use interlocking teeth to transfer power between two shafts. Belt drives use a belt that is wrapped around two pulleys to transfer power. Gear drives are generally more efficient than belt drives, but they can be more noisy and require more maintenance.
What is a VFD and how does it work?
A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a type of motor controller that can adjust the speed of an electric motor. VFDs work by varying the frequency of the power supply to the motor. This allows the motor to operate at different speeds, which can be useful in many industrial applications.
What is shaft alignment and why is it important?
Shaft alignment is the process of ensuring that two shafts are properly aligned with each other. This is important because misaligned shafts can cause vibration, noise, and premature wear and tear on the equipment. Shaft alignment can be performed using a variety of methods, including laser alignment and dial indicator alignment.
