Standard motor ok for VFD?

Marlowe McGraw All Messages By This Member #84708 I am considering replacing an uber complex mechanical variable speed drive (feed system on a Griggio planer) with a VFD.? I already bought a new C faced 3 phase motor and have a drive that will work , but was wondering if it needs to be a motor of any special duty rating, etc. Marlowe McGraw?
Brian Lamb All Messages By This Member #84709 开云体育 Pretty much any current manufacture motor will run on a VFD, the trick is how much above and below the standard 60hz you can run. I would say from 30hz to 120hz on most motors. My CNC mill runs from 10hz or so on the low end to 200 hz on the high, and I’ve seen some inverter rated motors that run up to 400hz. You just need to determine how much over/under speed ratio you want to accomplish the feeds you need, and see if that works for your motor. Brian Lamb blamb11@...

Marlowe McGraw All Messages By This Member #84710 Thanks Brian, I will likely feed at the same range as original.? Should be the highest speed when I couple the motor to the gearbox?
