When compared to alternative drives or constant torque couplings MagnaDrive products offer:
Increased drive, coupling and system reliability
Lower maintenance expense on the drive or constant torque coupling, as well as on the motor, load, seals and bearings
Reduced system operational downtime. The MagnaDrive product family minimizes the need for maintenance, repair and drive or couplings replacement due to longer life. Consequently, the system requires less capital and operating expense and it is free to generate more revenue for the owner
Substantial energy savings in operations, depending on system duty cycles
Longer asset life (motor, load, seal and bearing) due to minimized vibration transfer and the ability to accept some misalignment
In most cases, these benefits result in a substantial savings to the customer. When MagnaDrive is the lowest “initial cost” of all available options, the low price along with the benefits listed above make MagnaDrive the clear choice. However, depending on the application, MagnaDrive products may not represent the lowest initial cost. If initial cost is the only evaluation criteria when selecting a coupling, MagnaDrive will often appear too expensive. However, once the total cost of ownership is evaluated over the life of the system, MagnaDrive is typically the better choice.
