Peak Shaving - A Method to Reduce Utility Costs
|
| Company: | Baldor Electric Co |
| By thinking out of the box, Baldor Electric Company has been able to save about $1 million a year in energy savings corporate-wide for each of the
last three years. Over $100,000 a year of this savings comes from our Westville, OK plant. This paper will discuss Baldor’s success reducing utility costs at a motor plant in Westville, Oklahoma by working with the local electricity supplier (Ozarks Electric Cooperative Corp) and practicing peak shaving during summer months. |

How to Interpret Motor Information
|
| Company: | Baldor Electric Co |
| AC motors are generally used in constant speed applications and rated in horsepower. They are specified at a particular speed while delivering a certain horsepower. When specifying a 1 hp AC motor, for example, this means the motor must operate at 1,800 RPM and deliver 35 lb–in. of torque. In these applications, time to speed usually is not a concern. Power is applied and the motor rotates. Whatever time it takes to get to speed is accepted. Fast starting is not a concern. |

The Truth About Energy-Efficient Motors
|
| Company: | SEW-Eurodrive Inc |
| Everyone wants to save energy. It costs less to use less energy. It’s the “green” and “cool” thing to do. And if you are in the market for a motor, the government may soon pay you to replace your inefficient motors with new, energy-efficient NEMA Premium® versions.
So, then, you might think that buying a premium-efficient motor is the answer to your energy usage problems. But you would be overlooking an important fact: an energy-efficient motor is only one piece of the energy savings puzzle. While premium-efficient motors do help to reduce energy usage, they are by no means the cure-all to every energy consumption problem. |

Total Cost of Ownership and Linear Motion
|
| Company: | Bosch Rexroth Corp. |
| You may not realize it, but many of the products you buy actually cost a lot more than the initial price you paid for them. For example, let’s say you paid $25,000 for your vehicle. How far do you drive and how many gallons of gasoline do you use each week? How much does gasoline cost in your area? How often do you change the oil, rotate the tires, or have other maintenance work done? Over a 5-year period, these expenses, all a necessary part of operating your vehicle, can easily add up to $12,000 — or approximately 50 percent of the price of the vehicle. |
