Yes it is because the motor which drives it uses the hertz frequency to regulate itself. You might find if you move from a 60 hertz area to 50 hertz area and use a stepdown transformer to make your typical 120 volt appliance working on 230 volt that in the same percentual rate the time changes, for the hertz rate that is, app 20 % longer.

Why doesn't my 110v Wahl hair clippers work correctly when plugged into a power converter converting 220 v to 110 the screw on the side has no effect?
The internal working of the motor is designed for 110V/60Hz. Your stepdown converter is from 220V/50Hz to 110V/50Hz. Frequency converters from 50Hz to 60Hz are very expensive (many times the cost of a new clipper). Therefore it is better you get a clipper designed for 220V/50Hz. If you still like to put your clipper to use, then the most cost effective solution would be to get a "car inverter" that would convert 12V DC to 110V/60Hz AC.
Can you use the 220v 50hz appliances in 110v 60hz?
Depends. Some smaller stuff can usually run on both, in which case it will be printed on them. If it isn't, you can't run a 220v item on 110v.
Is there anyway to get 220V 60hz from a 110V 50hz power supply?
It would involve some electronics work but it could be done. Might add that it could be more expensive than just buying the proper power supply. Use Use 220V 60hz motor to run 110V 50hz Generator.
60Hz has higher power than 50Hz?
yes
What is meant by antiflicker in campera 50hz and 60hz?
Antiflicker in cameras refers to a feature that reduces the appearance of flickering lights in photographs or videos. The numbers 50Hz and 60Hz refer to the frequency of alternating current used in different regions. Cameras with antiflicker capabilities can adjust their settings to match the frequency and minimize the impact of flickering lights caused by differences in electricity frequency.
What is the US calculation of 110V 60hz?
Do you mean definition? If so 110V = 110 volts-60hz = 60 hertz. Hertz is the cycles that the electricity runs at. 60hz. is the US standard. Europe is at 50hz.
Is 50Hz to 110V as 60Hz is to 220V?
No. For more information see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.

Do Indian electrical devices work in US?
No India uses 240V at 50Hz the U.S. uses 110V at 60Hz.

Will a device that is rated as 110V AC 60Hz and 3A work with a step down convertor with 220V to 110V and 50Hz rating?
Depending on the device, it may or may not work. And if it works, it won't work properly. A 60Hz devices needs 60 cycle current, not 50.
Is there a difference between Australian and American power supplies?
There is a difference. For one thing, Australia works at 50hz and America at 60hz, and in domestic supply, Australia works at 240v and America at 110v.
Can you run a 60hz 110V motor on 50 hz 220V with a step down transformer?
NO dear we can not rotate a 110 vlolt motor on 220,but if your voltage is 110v then y can rotate it on 50hz ,no problem,but it will rotate at lower speed, ENGR. NASEER AHMED,PAKISTAN

Will English 110v site tools work in America?
The answer to your question varies on what the tool requires. In some European countries, they run 110v @ 50Hz as well as supply 220v @ 50Hz. Check your tool's power information to see if it runs on dual voltage. I know that most of my tools that I have bought from the United States require 110v @ 60Hz but operate just fine in Europe. The short answer is, probably yes, but check with the manufacture's user guide.
I have a 1960 vintage Juke Box that runs on European 220v 50Hz power. Is there a device I can purchase that will convert US 110v 60Hz power to run this machine?
Yes, purchase a step-down transformer.
