November 15, 2007 - Parvalux offers a series of IEC B14 and NEMA standard flanges and shafts for their complete range of permanent magnet (PM) motors. This means that their motors can now carry a European or North-American standardised interface if needed.
For each motor size the standards stipulate: hole centre distance (also referred to as Pitch Circle Diameter), hole diameter, shaft length, shaft diameter and flange diameter.
This new option allows Parvalux DC motors to interface with a much wider range of gearboxes as well as providing a standardised interface for pulleys and gears. Customers can download CAD diagrams of both the IEC B14 and NEMA standards for each Permanent Magnet motor model from the Parvalux website.
