The large majority of plant operations are powered by electric motors. Even so, it is rare to achieve full output speed with the most common design type of electric motors, the NEMA B. How do operators select the motor change speeds that are right for equipment processes? Motor speed can be varied through the use of electronic drives or mechanically with belts and sheaves, chain and sprockets or gearing.

Efficient energy utilization is impacted by the type and ratio of the gearing system applied, achieving both the requisite speed and rotating force (torque) necessary for the machinery using the system. By reviewing torque and efficiency ratings and selecting the correct size and type for your system, you can best utilize your energy dollars and improve returns on investment.
