Brand

Var-Spe

VAR-SPE is an Italian maker of hydrostatic speed variators, variable displacement pumps and hydraulic motors, based in Altavilla Vicentina near Vicenza. Giuseppe Speggiorin founded the company in 1963, and its first variators went into production in January 1964. VAR-SPE units use a radial piston variable pump driving a fixed motor, so output speed is changed by varying pump eccentricity. Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier in Muscat. We list Var-Spe variators for machine users in Oman and the GCC.

Var-Spe product series

The K2 Series is a hydrostatic speed variator.

A hydrostatic variator sits between a fixed-speed electric motor and the driven machine and changes the output speed through an oil circuit made of a variable pump and a hydraulic motor. It gives stepless speed adjustment with high starting torque and can be controlled by hand, servo or remote control. It is an alternative to electronic drives where shock loads, high torque at low speed or harsh conditions are expected.

Where Var-Spe variators are used

Mixers, conveyors, extruders, winders and other machines that need adjustable speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I identify my Var-Spe variator?
The nameplate on the housing gives the type, size and serial number. Send a photo of it together with the nameplate of the electric motor coupled to the variator, since the input flange and shaft must match the motor frame. Note the control fitted on the unit as well, for example a handwheel or a remote control device.
Is a Var-Spe hydrostatic variator the same as a variable frequency drive?
No. A variable frequency drive is an electronic unit that changes the motor's supply frequency. A hydrostatic variator is a mechanical-hydraulic unit mounted between the motor and the machine; the motor runs at fixed speed and the variator changes the output speed through oil flow. The two are selected differently and are not interchangeable as spare parts.
Can a Var-Spe variator be used in a hazardous area?
The Var-Spe catalog offers ATEX versions, but do not assume it from the operating principle. Suitability for a classified zone depends on the exact version and on the manufacturer's declaration for that unit, and the electric motor needs its own approval. State the zone and gas or dust group with your inquiry. We ask for the manufacturer's documents for the specific type before quoting.
How does a VAR-SPE hydrostatic speed variator work?
A radial piston variable displacement pump drives a fixed displacement hydraulic motor. Changing the pump's eccentricity changes the oil flow, giving stepless output speed with high torque at low speed.
Is Seven Star LLC a distributor of Var-Spe?
No. Seven Star LLC is an independent industrial supplier based in Muscat, not a distributor or agent of Var-Spe. We source Var-Spe variators and parts through commercial channels, check the model or order code against the manufacturer's documentation, and provide the manufacturer's datasheet and the certificates the manufacturer issues with the order on request.
