NEW WEBSITE TAKES THE HASSLE OUT OF FINDING A REPLACEMENT VSD

Specifying new drives just got simpler, thanks to an update to nicontrols.com by Northern Industrial. The E-Commerce store, which is home to over 200,000 automation parts both new and old, now suggests replacements for thousands of obsolete variable speed drives by a wide range of manufacturers from Allen Bradley to Mitsubishi.

Replacements are categorised into three groups - identical, follower and modern equivalent, with details to inform the user how easy the drive can be replaced with the suggested replacements. When looking at the suggested replacement, users can compare the specifications with their current drives attribute by attribute, such as power ratings, I/O, open and closed loop control, logic, phase and physical dimensions.

Maintenance and engineering personnel are often reluctant to upgrade drives, preferring instead to switch faulty drives for a like-for-like replacement from the refurbished marketplace. Using nicontrols.com for suggested replacements and their pre-sales advice on upgrading from qualified engineers takes all the hassle out of replacing a drive with a new alternative.

Upgrading variable speed drives is also advantageous for many reasons. A brand new drive is often significantly cheaper than a refurbished obsolete one. Newer technology means they are also much more efficient, therefore saving users costs on energy.

To find out replacements for your drives, head to nicontrols.com and enter the part number of your current drive in the search box. Details for replacements are found at the top of the product page. Northern Industrial is an official distributor for brands including Control Techniques and Danfoss and have drives up to 110kW on the shelf ready for immediate despatch.
