Mechanical Advantage
The Shimpo RXC drive has a strong
advantage over a common electronic
variable speed drive. With an
electronic drive, the output torque
remains constant from base speed down
to the lower limit, whatever it may be. As
shown in the graph to the right, an RXC
drive’s output torque increases as the
speed drops. This allows the user to set
a low speed that can help the drive push
through difficult areas.
