Thread: variable frequency motor drivers

Tweet

For those of you with three phase power in your shops:

I Just read a thread where someone had modified the motor on his bandsaw for speed change by adding pulleys and such. BUT.. as you well know, those of you lucky enough to have three phase power... an inverter is the way to go.

I happen to be sitting on a nice stash of industrial inverters ( variable frequency motor drivers ). Tried selling a few of the new * unused * ones on ebay, no bites. Can't believe it either.. posted them for about 20% of new cost, with free shipping even..

So anyway.. if anyone wants to make me an offer, drop me an email.

I got 10 Hp, 5Hp, 2HP, 1HP, .5Hp, some new, some used..

but what brand?

I have one Allen Bradley 5 hp, the other fives and the tens are Woods. The smaller inverters are Danfoss and Baldor. I think I also have some yaskawa and mitsubishi small inverters.

I have years of experience with these brands and they are very good. The Woods have held up under some very adverse conditions and simply run for years and years. I've never had to replace a Danfoss or a 'baby' baldor.

I have the necessary manuals for most of the inverters, and tech data is readily available on line.

If ya really wanna get crazy, I have some PLCs, clutch packs, a few prox switches, DC power supplies... lotsa industrual electronic goodies.

can i talk to you about them can you pm me with you phone number ?

If I knew how to PM on this site I certainly would.
