May 18, 2016
ETM motors provide customers the speed and torque performance needed for conveyor applications without the need for a gearbox. Using unique next generation motor technology, these motors provide 10 times more continuous torque and at a 5 times wider speed range than conventional AC induction motors. By eliminating the need for a speed gearbox, ETM motors reduce energy usage by 40-70%, eliminate the need to inventory multiple motor and gearbox combinations to address different customer speed and torque specifications, and lessen ongoing maintenance.  ETM motor direct drive technology also increases conveyor load capacity across the speed range and lowers drive system costs for conveyor manufacturers. ETM provides optimized drives paired with their motors.
