The use of electrical motors in and around water presents a complex set of challenges to the equipment user, systems designer and to the equipment supplier. Standard or commercial motors are typically designed for low cost, high volume manufacturing as a result they are typically not suitable for use in wet areas.
Empire Magnetics has designed a series of products specifically intended to meet the requirements of certain applications. Stainless steel housed waterproof stepper motors and A.C. induction motors provide corrosion resistance, and easy to clean features. The stainless steel packages are useful in nuclear reactor applications, while the Waterproof A.C. motors are frequently found in the food processing industry.
For submersion and deep sea applications the addition of pressure compensation devices allow the equipment to be used in applications that are particularly inhospitable.
The stainless waterproof packages provide flexibility to add gearboxes, feedback resolvers and other features to the mechanical assemblies, the ability to accommodate designers needs makes them the first choice for new product developments.
