A-TORQ
Adjustable Speed Drive
A-TORQ
The adjustable Non-Contact Drive for Reduced Fixed Speed
The A-TORQ Non-Contact Drive is designed to make industrial installations more reliable, and energy efficient. By enabling a fixed speed setting, A-TORQ provides an intelligent solution for eliminating overcapacity in applications such as pumps and fans. Thanks to its contact-free design, common operational issues are significantly reduced, especially in terms of maintenance, repairs, unplanned downtime, and electricity waste.
Features
- Standard range suitable for motor power from 7.5 kW to 375 kW
- Speeds up to 3,600 rpm
- Adjustable without electronic control
- No physical contact between motor and load side
- Fully mechanically adjustable
- Ideal for pumps and fans
What problems does A-TORQ solve?
Increase energy savings
By using A-TORQ to control the speed of a pump or fan, energy consumption is significantly reduced:
- Direct energy savings of up to 50%
- Energy-consuming throttling valves can be opened
Result: Lower energy costs and reduced CO₂ emissions
Less maintenance
A-TORQ eliminates mechanical wear and extends the lifespan of components:
- No physical shaft load on the motor or load side
- No damage due to misalignment – alignment is irrelevant
- Bearings and seals last significantly longer
- Extended maintenance intervals
Result: Less scheduled maintenance, lower maintenance costs, and more focus on production
Less Repairs
By damping shock loads and protecting the drivetrain, A-TORQ reduces the risk of damage:
- Acts as a mechanical soft starter during start/stop cycles
- Prevents bearing damage and seal issues
- Avoids damage due to incorrect installation or misalignment
Result: Less part replacements, lower maintenance costs, and enhanced safety
Reduced Downtime
A-TORQ lowers the risk of unplanned downtime and increases process reliability:
- Stable and low-vibration operation (up to 80% vibration reduction)
- No re-alignment required after installation or overhaul
- Extended service life of pumps and fans
- Smooth operation, even in demanding applications
Result: Maximum uptime, more stable production, lower TCO, and a very short payback period, often under 2 years
