This is because the company manufactures both the motor and brake which permits optimisation of component interface.
The low-centre motors offer high power to frame size: 7.5kW from an 80 frame size machine as opposed to a typical 132 frame unit requirement.
They can be supplied with PUWER '98 and ACoP compliant fail-safe braking, with or without blade discs, plus numerous other options regarding terminal boxes, fan covers, etc In addition, exhibits will include the new Dust Ignition Proof motors, plus single and three phase machines from across the company's motor ranges which are available in custom designs to UL/CSA standards.
