Variable Speed Drives

Kopp Variators are mechanical variable speed drives or transmissions used to control speeds on industrial machinery. They are constant power torque converters with extremely accurate speed holding and resetability.

Modern technology demands the ability to change speeds frequently, whether by manual methods or automatic control systems. The Kopp Variator is ideally suited to these requirements, as the control mechanism is light, positive and extremely accurate.

• Predetermined speeds can be quickly selected and accurately maintained.
• Readily adaptable to remote control and to applications requiring reverse rotation or braking.
• Compact design with in-line shafts combining easily with standard electric motors and gearboxes.
• Low in cost yet precision built for quiet operation and durability
• Totally enclosed for use in wet or dusty environments or in hazardous locations demanding explosion proof work.

The kopp Variator offers speed ranges from 11:1 variation and input powers 0.18kW to 25kW. The Kopp series ranges from Variators utilising a straightforward free shaft ball to the sophisticated cone type K Variator that incorporates closed loop control sevo systems.
