variable speed
Not fixed pace
Variable speed describes machinery or devices that can operate across a range of speeds rather than at a single fixed rate.
A variable speed motor adjusts its rotation to match demand; variable speed fans and pumps save energy by running only as fast as needed.
The term often appears in product specifications to distinguish from single-speed alternatives.
