June 2, 2016— NovaTorque, Inc. has introduced 600 RPM versions of its PremiumPlus+Electronically Commutated Permanent Magnet (ECPM) Motors. The 600 RPM versions are currently available from 0.75 HP to 3 HP, with 5HP and 7.5HP models coming soon.
These versions are particularly well suited for directly driving larger diameter fans at low speeds, and are designed to eliminate the costs, maintenance, and efficiency losses associated with belts and pulleys.
The 600 RPM motor is energy efficient – reducing motor losses (wasted energy) by as much as 50%. Overall energy usage is reduced by 4% to 20%, depending on operating speeds, with the largest percentage savings at partial rated speed. Additionally, these models have significantly lower current requirements (FLA) than AC induction motor alternatives.
NovaTorque’s patented geometry allows for the use of ferrite (versus rare earth) magnets. NovaTorque motors are produced in standard NEMA frame sizes for easy substitution.
