In today’s industrial world, efficiency and sustainability are critical. Regenerative drives are revolutionizing motor control by not only powering machines but also capturing and reusing excess energy. At Ameronics, we design advanced regenerative drives that help manufacturers cut energy costs, improve performance, and move toward a greener future.
What Are Regenerative Drives?
A regenerative drive is a type of motor controller that allows energy to flow back into the power supply when a motor slows down or reverses. Instead of wasting excess energy as heat through resistors, the drive recycles it — sending it back to the grid or to other equipment in the system.
This technology is especially valuable in:
- Conveyor and packaging systems
- Elevators and lifting equipment
- Robotics and automation
- Energy-intensive manufacturing processes
Benefits of Regenerative Drives
Implementing regenerative drives in your operations offers multiple advantages:
- Energy Savings – Reduce power consumption by reusing excess energy.
- Lower Heat Generation – Less wasted energy means cooler systems and longer component life.
- Cost Reduction – Decrease electricity bills and minimize the need for additional cooling systems.
- Improved Performance – Smooth speed control and reliable motor response.
- Sustainability – Lower carbon footprint through smarter energy use.
