Variable Speed Drives

AIMS use Parker Hannifin for electromechanical automation. Parker is a global leader in motion and control technologies and systems.

Precision-engineered systems can be created for commercial, mobile, industrial and aerospace markets.

AC and DC variable speed drive products may be combined with application-specific function block-based configuration software. This gives precise speed control and reliable performance.

In addition, electromechanical systems combine high performance speed and position control with flexibility. This allows the systems to be adapted for the rapidly changing needs of industries.

Products and systems are available for continuous process applications across many industries. There are a wide range of drive system and mechanical system products available:

  • System drives
  • Servo drives
  • Machine controllers
  • AC and DC drives and motors
  • Servo motors
  • Actuators
  • Precision positioner
  • Gantry systems.

Systems can be customised for use in process industries such as:

  • Converting machinery
  • Plastics processing machinery
  • Wire and cable manufacturing: winding/unwinding/extrusion
  • Printing machinery
  • Paper machinery
  • Sugar processing
  • Steel production
  • Automotive test rigs.

Clean Power

Drive technology can make significant energy savings in pump, fan and compressor operation in both industrial and infrastructure applications including:

  • Commercial refrigeration
  • Water and wastewater treatment
  • Building automation
  • Industrial processes
  • Hydraulic systems.

Inverter technology has been developed for power generation and the conversion of energy for commercial including wind, wave and energy storage devices.

Electric drive technology, inverters, motor drives and electric drive motors have been adapted for use in hybrid electric vehicles.
