New Baldor guide is a valuable resource for automation builders

(20/07/2010)

Baldor has released a major new catalogue overviewing the extensive range of industrial motors, drives, power transmission and motion control products it stocks in Europe. It's a handy reference for any engineer building or maintaining machinery and industrial automation, and is available in electronic or paper forms.

The 120-page guide is a valuable resource for automation builders and maintainers alike. It details hundreds of the most commonly required DC and AC motors, drives, gearmotors, Baldor-Dodge gearboxes - supported by a European assembly centre - and Baldor-Dodge bearings. The catalogue also details the company's comprehensive range of servomotors, drives and controllers for precision motion control applications.

The motor selection is very broad, and includes Baldor's energy-efficient motors, available in both IEC frame and NEMA frame variants for companies who build for international markets or maintain equipment manufactured overseas. Also included are details of special-purpose motors for severe-, hazardous and washdown-duty operating environments, as well as inverter-duty and commercial-duty motors.

The catalogue concludes with useful reference material including quick reference sections on IEC and NEMA frame sizes, and imperial/metric conversions.
