Plaromaster Elastohydrodynamic Variable Speed Drives

Planetroll’s patented design for these Plaromaster mechanical variable-speed drive gearboxes offers several significant advantages over traditional friction drives and frequency inverters. These advantages are found in applications requiring high torque at startup, explosion-proof operation, infinite variable speed to zero RPM, and reliable overload protection.
