🏭 Top Applications for Leeson Variable Speed Drives

Leeson drives are used across virtually every industry where electric motors need to operate at variable speeds or under changing load conditions. Below are some of the most common and mission-critical applications:

💧 1. Pumps & Water Systems

Leeson VFDs provide flow and pressure control for:

  • Booster pumps

  • Irrigation systems

  • Submersible water pumps

  • Chemical dosing pumps

Controlling the pump’s speed reduces mechanical stress and power consumption, saving energy and increasing pump lifespan.

🌬️ 2. HVAC & Air Handling

Whether for building management or process ventilation, Leeson drives help regulate:

  • Exhaust and intake fans

  • Air handlers

  • Cooling towers

  • Variable air volume (VAV) systems

VFDs in HVAC systems allow for quiet, efficient operation, with reduced wear on mechanical components and decreased energy bills.

🏗️ 3. Material Handling & Conveyors

Control is key when moving goods in warehouses, assembly lines, or manufacturing plants. Leeson Speedmaster VFDs manage:

  • Belt conveyors

  • Bucket elevators

  • Palletizing equipment

  • Sorting systems

The ability to control speed, acceleration, and braking enhances safety, productivity, and reliability.

🧱 4. Construction Equipment

In rugged construction zones, Leeson drives operate:

  • Concrete mixers

  • Hoists and cranes

  • Mobile crushers

With IP65 and NEMA 4X enclosures, these drives resist dust, debris, water, and temperature extremes.

🧃 5. Food Processing & Packaging

Washdown-duty drives are essential in environments that require frequent sanitization. Leeson’s stainless steel and epoxy-coated models are ideal for:

  • Conveyor belts

  • Slicers and mixers

  • Fillers and sealers

  • Capping machines

IP56/IP65 protection ensures that food-safe equipment continues running smoothly after exposure to high-pressure washdowns.

⚙️ 6. Manufacturing Systems

Leeson VFDs help fine-tune processes in manufacturing by regulating motor speed and torque across:

  • Lathes, mills, and CNC machines

  • Assembly robots

  • Extruders

  • Welders

The result? Consistent output quality, fewer equipment failures, and lower operating costs.

 

 

🔧 Enclosure Options for Leeson VFDs

 

🔓 Open Chassis (IP20)

  • Best for use inside cabinets or clean, climate-controlled rooms

🧰 NEMA 1 / IP31

  • Basic protection for dry, indoor environments

🛡️ NEMA 4/12 / IP54-IP65

  • Sealed against dust and water spray

  • Ideal for rugged industrial settings

🌊 NEMA 4X

  • Washdown-duty enclosures with white epoxy or stainless steel

  • USDA and FDA compliant for food processing and sanitary environments

 

 

🧠 Smart Features That Simplify Installation

Leeson Speedmaster VFDs are built with end users in mind. Many drives arrive pre-programmed with standard motor profiles, making setup fast and intuitive. Additional features include:

  • Quick start guides with step-by-step instructions

  • Remote keypads for ease of access in control panels

  • Braking kits for smooth deceleration in high-inertia systems

Need a compact solution? Leeson’s VFDs are available in slim profiles that fit easily into crowded panels and cabinets.

 

 

⚠️ Installation Best Practices for VFDs

To get the most from your Leeson drive and ensure safe operation:

  • Keep the motor within 100 feet of the drive when possible

  • If motor lead length exceeds 100 feet, use a load reactor or dV/dt filter

  • Ensure proper spacing around the drive for adequate airflow

  • Ground the motor and drive properly to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI)

Installing reactors or filters in long-distance applications prevents voltage spikes that can damage motors or degrade performance.
