In ASD packages, one-to-one drive reduces the
number of components need-
ed compared to a gear drive
unit thus increasing reliability
and service life. Some
compressors are called direct drive but are really
gear driven units. In Kaeser’s ASD package, the
motor is directly connected to the airend with a

connected by a casting which is doweled and
pinned to assure perfect alignment.

Using specialized tools such as our
Power Cost Analysis and Air Demand
Analysis, we can provide an accurate
assessment of the existing installation as
well as a contrasting view of the proposed
system’s performance.
Kaeser uses state-of-the-art CAD
systems to lay out the proposed system
and produce traditional two-dimensional
drawings for project execution. Plus, a
three dimensional, virtual walk-through
tour of the proposed system allows the
end user to see the complete installation.
The virtual modeling allows all options to
be considered. Variables such as distance,
diameters, equipment order, location,
accessories and connections can be
reviewed and modified, if necessary, prior
to installation.
