‘Inverters’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Nord subassemblies include gearbox and motor from
Nord Drivesystems, which we summarised at the time by saying "As part of its range of Nordbloc industrial gear units for torque output from 60,000 to 200,000Nm, Nord supplies modular subassemblies.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release WEG motors drive Brazilian theme-park attractions from
WEG Electric Motors: "WEG motors, inverters and soft starters are allowing the safe operation of equipment at the Beto Carrero World theme park, located in Santa Catarina, Brazil. ".
In October 2009, we covered the news from Tyco Electronics UK
- take a look at Tyco expands wind energy component range
which says: "Tyco Electronics continues its focus on the alternative energy market with a growing line of products for the wind turbine segment. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Omron Electronics, Motion controller offers space-saving benefits,
as well as Easyweigh machines use REO vibration controllers from REO (UK),
and Solarlok combiner box has plug-and-play design from Tyco Electronics UK.
