How does the cost of an ASD compare to Variable Frequency Drives?
A. In most cases, the MagnaDrive ASD 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 these benefits 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 product, MagnaDrive appears too expensive. However, MagnaDrive is typically the better choice by a wide margin if the total cost of ownership is evaluated over the life of the system, taking into account the benefits and the cost of all drives and couplings and replacements required over the life of the system.
