New square and round frame AC induction motors from Parker

Parker Hannifin has launched a new family of square and round frame AC induction motors.

Covering power ranges from 0.09 to 524kW, the devices are available with options such as encoder feedback, insulated bearings and holding brakes. They are suitable for use with a host of general industrial applications, including pumps, fans and material handling, as well as more specialist applications such as printing machinery or test rigs. The MR series features a durable, rigid construction, optional axial in-line force ventilation fan and a pre-wired 2048 ppr encoder, making it suitable for use in general purpose open or closed loop control applications. The MS range is also ideally suited for upgrading from older DC motors, as its compact frame size makes its dimensions similar to that of a DC motor of the same power rating. Both the MS and MR range can be ordered with additional encoder or holding brake. The MS motor can also be supplied with insulated roller or ball bearings and one of a number of different motor thermal protection devices.
