Features of AC Motors & Gearmotors

• Easy-to-Use and Reliable
  All that is required to rotate a standard compact AC motor is a commercial power supply and a capacitor. Three-phase motors do not even require a capacitor. They are the simplest way to get rotational operation from a motor. The simplicity of AC motors improves their reliability and service life.
• Conform to Safety Standards and Global Power Supply Voltages
  Many of Oriental Motor's AC motors conform to UL/CSA/EN standards and apply the CE Marking in accordance with the low voltage directives. AC motors are available in power supply voltages that meet the requirements of North America, Asia and Europe.
• Variety of Functions
  There are two basic types of AC motors; standard induction motors that run continuously and reversible motors that allow for bi-directional operation. AC motors with additional functionality are also available. These types of motors include: electromagnetic brake motors to hold loads in a power-off situation; clutch and brake motors for quick starts and stops; synchronous motors for a fixed speed in synchronization with the power frequency; and torque motors for tension control and winding applications.
• Quiet Operation
  Today's applications demand lower noise levels. Oriental Motor has met thee demands by developing low-noise gearheads and quiet AC motors using new and innovative technologies. In particular, the V Series is especially suitable for applications where noise reduction is required, producing up to 6dB less than other standard AC motors.
