Motor range spans millions of options

Parvalux, the UK's leading manufacturer of small geared motors, believes in offering its customers a choice. In fact, when the options of motor type (AC or DC), power rating, torque, voltage, speed, type of fixing, shaft styles and dynamic brakes are taken into account, the result is over 100 million possible combinations. Take fixings for example, in addition to the standard foot mounting, there are also the options of flange, stud or spigot mounting, providing the design engineer with a wide range of methods of attaching motor to machine.

Mounting feet provide a robust and versatile method of attaching a motor or motor/gearbox to the back-plate of the machine.

This fixing method allows motors to be quickly attached and removed from a machine and the fixing feet allow small adjustments to be made to the motors position.

For applications where a suitable fixing surface is not available, customers can specify a spigot (face), flange or stud type fixing.

Flange fixing is common for worm type gearboxes and provides a strong fixing designed to cope with high torques.

The flange is pre-drilled and fully integrated into the body of the gearbox.

It provides a robust and compact method of fixing particularly in applications where space is at a premium.

Spigot mounting is the lowest cost option and provides tapped holes in the body of the motor or gearbox.

Various options are available for the position of the fixing holes and this method provides a compact means to directly mount the motor or gearbox to the machine.
