Bulk Handling applications demand the utmost reliability, often in very challenging environments.  The fundamentally robust construction of SR Drive^® systems makes them ideally suited for such demanding applications. 

Matched motor and controller designs assure system performance from the outset and allow the torque/speed performance to be set within the ratings of the driven equipment.  The simple SR Drive^® rotor has significantly lower inertia than conventional wound rotors, easing problems of reflected inertia in high-ratio geared applications.  The absence of any rotor conductors in the motor minimizes rotor heating and permits unlimited starting duty, even under full load conditions. 

SR Drive^® systems have an impressive track record in bulk handling applications, from their proven application in the mining industry to their use within some of the latest developments in the UK power industry.
