| Variable
torque motors have horsepower ratings that vary as the square
of the speed, while torque varies directly with the speed. These motors
are typically used on applications such as fans, blowers and centrifugal
pumps. |
Constant
torque motors are capable of developing the same torque for all
speeds. Their horsepower ratings vary directly with the speed. Constant
torque motors are used on mixers, compressors, printing presses, extractors,
feeders and laundry machinery. |
Constant
horsepower motors develop the same horsepower at all operating
speeds, and the torque varies inversely with the speed. These motors
are often used on machine tools, such as drills, lathes, punch presses
and milling machines. Please contact iProcesSmart.com with details
