  AC Induction Motors Induction Motors
Capacitor-run, single-phase and three-phase motors are available. Lead wire type, terminal box type and conduit box type motors are available depending upon how the power source and the motor are connected.
RoHS compliant models available.
 
         
  AC Reversible Motors   Reversible Motors
Capacitor-run, single-phase motors. The outward appearance is the same as that of induction motors, however, these motors are suited for applications where the motor must frequently switch direction.
RoHS compliant models available.
  		 
         
  AC Synchronous Motors   Synchronous Motors
Provide rotation at a fixed speed in synchronization with the frequency of the power source. (60 Hz: 1800 r/min)
RoHS compliant models available.
 
         
  AC Torque Motors   Torque Motors
Suitable for controlling tension and pushing applications in winding operations. Torque can be set to any desired level by changing the input voltage.
RoHS compliant models available.
  		 
          
  AC Watertight Motors   Watertight, Dust-Resistant Motors
Provide watertight and dust-resistant performance that meet IP67 grade.
RoHS compliant models available.
  		 
         
  AC Electromagnetic Brake Motors   Electromagnetic Brake Motors
This product is a load-holding brake motor with a power off activated type electromagnetic brake.
RoHS compliant models available.
 
         
  AC Clutch and Brake Motors   Clutch and Brake Motors
Combines a clutch and brake mechanism with an induction motor. It is ideal for high-frequency starting and stopping.		  
         
  Brake Pack   Brake Pack
Brake circuits used for instantaneous stopping when used with induction motors, reversible motors and electromagnetic motors.
RoHS compliant models available.
  		 
         
  Right-Angle Gearheads   Gearheads
Parallel shaft, right-angle solid and right-angle hollow shaft gearheads.
RoHS compliant models available.
 
         
  Applications for AC Motors & Gearmotors

Get Flash Player
   
  Induction Motors
For unidirectional or bidirectional (after coming to a stop) continuous operation.
     
 
  Reversible Motors
For applications where the motor must switch from one direction to the other on-the-fly.		  
 
     
 
  Synchronous Motors
For applications where the motor's rotation must be kept at a fixed speed, regardless of changes to the load.		  
 
         
  Torque Motors
For applications where a rolled object is released according to the amount of tension.		  
 
     
 
  Watertight Motors
For applications where motors are splashed.		  
 
     
 
  Electromagnetic Brake Motors
For vertical applications in which loads must be held.		  
 
     
 
  Clutch and Brake Motors
For applications where the motor must repeat frequent starting and stopping
(100 cycle/min).

Features of AC Motors & Gearmotors

  • Easy-to-Use and Reliable
    All that is required to rotate a standard compact AC motor is a commercial power supply and a capacitor. Three-phase motors do not even require a capacitor. They are the simplest way to get rotational operation from a motor. The simplicity of AC motors improves their reliability and service life.
  • Conform to Safety Standards and Global Power Supply Voltages
    Many of ORIENTAL MOTOR's AC motors conform to UL/CSA/EN standards and apply the CE Marking in accordance with the low voltage directives. AC motors are available in power supply voltages that meet the requirements of North America, Asia and Europe.
  • Variety of Functions
    There are two basic types of AC motors; standard induction motors that run continuously and reversible motors that allow for bi-directional operation. AC motors with additional functionality are also available. These types of motors include: electromagnetic brake motors to hold loads in a power-off situation; clutch and brake motors for quick starts and stops; synchronous motors for a fixed speed in synchronization with the power frequency; and torque motors for tension control and winding applications.
  • Quiet Operation
    Today's applications demand lower noise levels. ORIENTAL MOTOR has met thee demands by developing low-noise gearheads and quiet AC motors using new and innovative technologies. In particular, the V Series is especially suitable for applications where noise reduction is required, producing up to 6dB less than other standard AC motors.
