Module 1 : Introduction to Electric Drives

Type of Loads (Cont.)
    (c) Pulsating loads: Reciprocating pumps and compressors, frame saws, textile looms and generally all machines having crank shaft.

    (d) Impact loads: Apparent, regular and repetitive load peaks or pulses which occurs in rolling mills, presses, shearing machines, forging hammers etc. Drives for such machines will have heavy fly wheels.

    (e) Short time intermittent loads: Almost all forms of cranes and hoisting mechanisms, excavators, roll trains etc.

    (f) Short time loads: Motor generator sets for charging batteries, servo motors used for remote control of clamping rods of drilling machines.

  • Loads of the machines like stone crushers and ball mills are characterized by frequent impact of small peaks so they are classified as continuous variable loads rather than the impact loads
