Infinitum, creator of the sustainable air core motor, and Rockwell Automation announced an exclusive agreement to develop and distribute a new class of high-efficiency, low voltage drive and motor tech.
This solution is said to significantly reduce energy and costs for industrial customers. Energy conscious companies already implement variable frequency drives (VFDs) with high-efficiency motors to save energy, but still motors account for nearly 70% of the power consumed by industrial companies.
Under this agreement, Rockwell will combine its PowerFlex technology with Infinitum’s Aircore EC motor system, resulting in a system that should greatly reduce energy consumption compared to current systems.
