Standard Aerolock and Drive

Standard Fixed Speed Drive

A standard right-angle gear motor is mounted to the Aerolock™ rotary valve housing via an adjustable drive tensioning plate. The chain and sprockets are sized to provide the correct final speed on the Aerolock rotor shaft. The safety approved drive guard provides easy maintenance accessibility. The standard TEFC drive motors are set up to run on 230/460 volt, 3-phase, 10 to 90 Hz current. Other voltages and/or single-phase motors are available.

AC Variable Frequency Drive

An inverter duty rated right-angle gear motor is mounted to the Aerolock rotary valve housing via an adjustable drive tensioning plate. The safety approved drive guard provides easy maintenance accessibility. The Aerolock and drive will be geared to provide either a nominal 5 to 30 RPM range. The TEFC motors are 230/460 volt, 3-phase, 10 to 90 hertz operating range. Other voltages and motors are available. The AC frequency controller is not included with drive.

AC Variable Frequency Drive Panel

The AC variable frequency drive panel has a door-mounted rotary IEC handle and motor circuit controller disconnect with short circuit protection and Class 10 temperature overload protection. It has an IP65 [NEMA 4] electrical enclosure designed for wall mounting. The variable frequency drive comes equipped with ground fault/electronic motor overload protection and adjustable PWM frequency up to 16 KHz. The integral keypad on the VFD front allows easy access to all drive setup parameters and can be configured to follow a 4-20ma analog signal, or to discrete inputs to trigger up to (4) preset motor speeds. The AC variable frequency drive controller is set up to run on 460 volt, 3-phase, 1.6 kW [2 HP].

DC variable speed drive available upon request.

When an Aerolock is ordered with a drive, it is shipped fully assembled (unless otherwise specified).
