A variable-frequency drive and motor in one unit, these motors save space in your control panel and require less wiring than separate drives and motors. They bolt directly to gearboxes, pumps, and other machinery. You can program the drive to start, stop, change speed, and reverse direction based on inputs from a PLC or sensor. These motors are often used to start or stop a conveyor based on PLC commands or vary the speed of a fan to maintain a room’s temperature.

Rated for continuous duty, these motors can run machines that require constant power. They have totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) enclosures, which don’t have vents, so you can install them in damp and dirty environments. An external fan blows air over the outside of the enclosure to keep these motors cool. All have automatic overload protection, which turns motors off if they become overheated and restarts them once they’ve cooled.

An IE5 efficiency rating means these motors and drives are rated for the highest efficiency available. From partial to full output, they'll use less electricity than motors with other ratings.

Download free software to control and monitor them in real time. Connect them to your computer via Bluetooth or use a PC connection cord (sold separately) to plug them into a USB port. These motors also use Modbus-RTU and BACnet protocols, so you can integrate them into building and process control systems. You can also use a keypad (sold separately) to control these motors. It has a digital display that shows live motor information, such as output frequency and speed, and allows you to edit control parameters in real time. To create a control station, mount the keypad into a panel up to 10 ft. away from the motor with the included cord.

Save space in your control panel with a variable-frequency drive and motor in one unit. These motors require less wiring than motors that need to be attached to a separate drive. They have a base mount that’s welded to the enclosure, so you can secure them to a flat surface. Program the drive to start, stop, change speed, and reverse direction based on inputs from a PLC or sensor. These motors are often used to start or stop a conveyor based on PLC commands or vary the speed of a fan to maintain a room’s temperature.

The shaft is keyed and comes with key stock. Rated for continuous duty, these motors can run machines that require constant power. All have automatic overload protection, which turns motors off if they become overheated and restarts them once they’ve cooled. They also have totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) enclosures, which don’t have vents, so you can install them in damp and dirty environments.

Download free software to control and monitor them in real time. Connect them to your computer via Bluetooth or use a PC connection cord (sold separately) to plug them into a USB port. To integrate them into larger control systems, these motors can be programmed using Modbus-RTU and BACnet protocols. Use a keypad (sold separately) to start or stop motors or to increase or decrease speed in real time. To create a control station, mount the keypad into a panel up to 10 ft. away from the motor with the included cord.

Move loads with consistent, repeatable push-pull motion. These actuators hold their loads in position even if power fails. Some actuators have a brake that prevents loads from shifting even slightly, so they’re best for vertical and high-vibration applications.

To protect the motor from overload when the extension rod is at the end of the stroke, all actuators have either a limit switch or clutch. Move adjustable limit switches to change the length of the stroke. Actuators with a load-limiting clutch also protect the motor from jams and impact or shock loads. If the load exceeds the maximum capacity or if the extension rod reaches the end of its stroke, the clutch slips and stops the rod from moving. You can set the clutch to slip at a specific load capacity.

Actuators with automatic overload protection prevent damage to the motor from overheating. They have a switch that shuts off the motor if it’s too warm or if it exceeds the maximum duty cycle. The switch automatically resets once the motor is cool enough to operate.

All actuators have a clevis hole on each end for mounting. Secure both ends of actuators with rotating extension rods to fixed surfaces, so the rod extends and retracts instead of rotates. Twist the extension rod until the clevis holes line up with your mounting bracket.

Maximum speed is how fast the actuator will move under no-load conditions. If you increase the load, the actuator speed will decrease. Use a speed-load chart to confirm which actuator will work for your application. Click on a part number and select “Product Detail” to view the chart for an actuator.

Since they have fewer moving parts, you can use these direct-drive motors to build fans that require less maintenance than fans with belt-drive motors. Mount them directly to a fan column.

Build your own fan or replace a fan motor. Mount one of these motors directly to a fan column. Four 8-32 threaded mounting studs extend 1" for mounting a fan guard.

Note: When selecting a fan blade, be sure the rpm and hp are compatible and the shaft diameter of the blade matches the shaft diameter of the motor.
