Variable Speed Chain Hoists have step less variable speed lifting capabilities. The operator can easily control the lifting and lowering speed of the hoist over a wide range from 0.5 - 50 feet per minute or any speed in between. The pendant control is easily positioned to the exact height requirements of the operator. By simply flipping a locking switch on the side of the hoist, additional pendant cable can be pulled from, or retracted to, a storage area inside the hoist. The hoist provides gentle and precise handling that is simply not possible with single or two speed hoist units. For delicate operations, loads can be gently raised and lowered into position, reducing the risk for error and damage. Users also benefit from more flexibility when moving loads.

Variable speed couplings are used to connect the motor to the pump. These couplings use either a fluid (usually water or oil) or electrically induced magnetism to adjust the speed of the pump while the motor rotates at a constant speed. These are used in power generation, oil & gas, chemical and raw material industries to control pumps, compressors, blowers, and mills, and to start up gas turbines.

Variable speed drive compressors are compressors that can vary the speed at which the motor rotates so we can accurately control the amount of air we need to produce for a given system. VSD compressors are optimised when working under part load conditions. This is because they will speed up and slow down to maintain minimum pressure changes in the compressed air system thereby reducing the KWh. A VSD compressor can achieve 25 - 35% energy savings in comparison to a fixed speed compressor.
