What is a DC Drive?
A DC drive is an electronic device used to control the speed, torque and direction of a DC motor by regulating the voltage and current supplied to the motor.
Although AC drives are now common across many industrial applications, DC drives remain an effective solution for certain machines and processes where their characteristics and control capabilities are required.
Torque Control
Allows the motor torque to be controlled to meet the requirements of the application.
Process Control
Provides controlled motor operation that can be integrated into existing machinery and processes.
Why Hire a DC Drive?
When a DC drive fails, replacing the complete system can be expensive and time-consuming. Hiring a suitable replacement drive can provide a faster way to get your process back into operation while a permanent repair or replacement is arranged.
Emergency Replacement
Get a replacement drive in place following a breakdown.
Temporary Projects
Ideal where a DC drive is only required for a limited period.
Reduce Downtime
A hire drive can provide a temporary route back to production.
Avoid Capital Cost
Hire equipment instead of purchasing a drive for a short-term requirement.
