Contact our inside sales team to rapidly identify with them the electric motor that suits your needs and your industrial or commercial application. One of the first features to consider is the electric motor load that will be required : will it be constant torque load, variable torque load or constant power loads?
The type of electric motor isolation must also be considered. Do you need a class A, B, F or a class H motor such as a High Temperature Motor for high temperature environments such as ovens or kilns. For example, since 1995, EBI manufactures and distributes the EBI Dry Kiln Duty Motor which is a high temperature electric motor for lumber dry kilns. These high temperature motors are certified class H.
