Hard as steel
Our motors are built to withstand arduous application for failsafe operation in metal processing
Metal
Metal processing is a notoriously arduous application with a harsh environment and a tough duty on the machines. Our motors are manufactured using our proprietary ‘Barlok’ rotor design which enhances the rotor’s ability to withstand stresses caused by non-uniform thermal expansion and centrifugal forces eliminating rotor bar failures.
With many industries moving toward much tighter automated controls, we are pleased to also offer induction machines for use with variable frequency drives. If compatibility with a VSD is required then special consideration is made on the selection of bearings and the insulation levels may be increased to account for possible issues with high frequencies and voltage spikes.
