What is the difference between a 'new surplus' motor and a 'factory new' motor?
Our New Surplus electric motors and drives are new and unused overstock or discontinued items offered at lower prices and come with our 90-day warranty.
Factory New products are competitively priced and come with a manufacturers warranty.

Within the last 10 years they have been perfected to control and vary the speed of 3 phase electric motors. They serve many purposes, besides speed control. Homeowners and hobbyist alike, who have lathes or milling machines with a 3 phase motor, usually don't have 3 phase power to operate.

Motors with AEGIS® bearing protection ring INSIDE
The General Purpose TEFC line is composed by W01 and W22 motors.
W22 is a motor with cast iron frame designed to provide significantly lower energy consumption, maximum ventilation, heat dissipation and low vibration and noise levels.
These motors are supplied with Aegis® bearing protection ring to avoid current flow along the motor shaft, across the bearing and return to the frame thus preventing premature bearing wear and failure due to electric currents flowing through them.
