A variable frequency drive is an electronic device that allows you to start, stop, and control the speed of a three phase motor. It is also a motor starter as it is equipped with overload protection. Read more »
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.
Variable frequency drives (VFDs or inverters) now play an important part in major industry.
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. These VFDs (instead of using a rotary phase converter) can now be used to convert single phase power to 3 phase power. Read more »
Leeson 0.33 HP AC Gearmotor, 3 phase, 85 RPM, 230 V, 42Y Frame, TEFC - 096014.00
Features
All rated for 60/50 Hz operation except hi-torque single-phase which are 60 Hz only
Rugged die cast aluminum gear housing for maximum gear and bearing support
Precision machined gearing, hardened for maximum load capability
All gearing designed and rated to AGMA class 9 standards, and to withstand momentary shock overload of 200%
Oversized output bearings for greater overhung load capacity and long life
High carbon alloy output shaft provides maximum strength and rigidity
All needle bearing journals are precision ground after heat treating to provide maximum fit and finish
Heavy duty industrial oil seals keep lubricant in and dirt out; Gears and bearings are splash lubricated with permanent, heavy duty gear oil; Run capacitor supplied at no additional cost for single phase designs
Three phase and hi-torque single phase models include conduit box, other single phase models do not; These gearmotors are designed for mounting at any angle, but motor below the reducer should be avoided to prevent leakage of lubricant into the motor should the motor shaft seal fail
Overhung load capacities shown are at center of output shaft; Optional conduit box available
