Featuring:
Sleek all-metal VFD enclosure that not only looks great but also dramatically reduces EMI and heat issues.
High quality Spindle that comes standard with 4 (Four) ceramic bearings that reduce rolling resistance, increase durability, increase stiffness and minimize damage caused by cold starts.
Shielded Spindle cable with High Frequency noise filter keeps the VFD noise were it belongs inside the enclosure.
Display with built in manual over-ride switch that can be mounted in a convenient location, whether it's on the wall or VFD.
All Cables and Wires properly grounded and shielded
Inputs control signals use shielded cable that's properley grounded and input filters for noise free control.
Properly sized AC Line filter to keep noise off the power lines
Fully wired and programmed with PWM and RJ-485 controls
Manual speed setting switch to adjust speed if your controller can’t.
Spindle is full grounded for safety back to the Chassis.
Wall mount or Desktop Stand with input dust filter to keep the dust out of you VFD.
Air Cooled for simple and compact instillation.

Benefits of Ceramic Bearings
Reduced rolling resistance mainly results from the ceramic balls’ increased smoothness, dimensional stability, and increased uniformity over steel ball bearings. These properties ensure that applied loads are uniformly distributed over all rolling elements. Additionally, ceramic materials have a significantly lower coefficient of friction (~20–30 times less) than steel ball bearings with standard seals and lubrication. This reduced friction results in reduced rolling resistance and faster rotational speeds. The reduced weight of ceramic bearings also contributes to their overall enhanced performance over steel bearings. Ceramic materials can weigh up to 40% less than comparable steel bearings. This reduced weight translates to decreased centrifugal loads exerted on the outer race as the bearing
spins. This reduction of forces allows ceramic bearings to operate up to 20–40% faster than
conventional steel bearings while using considerably less energy to maintain their speed.
Ceramic bearings are also harder than steel bearings and therefore are more durable. Studies show that ceramic bearings can last anywhere between 5 and 20 times longer. The smoother surface of the ceramics also significantly reduces the risk of bearing seizure with little to no lubrication. Furthermore, ceramic bearings can operate in harsh environments due to their resistance to corrosion and degradation. Finally, their electrical insulation properties eliminate the risk of electrical erosion and pitting of the rolling elements.
