Choice of motor solutions
September 1st 2004

Wadkin UltraCare manufactures and refurbishes moulders, classical and blade grinding machines. Its motor requirements, including low torque brake motors that comply with the woodworking industry’s PUWER 98 and ACoP safety standards, are met by AEG Electric Motors.

AEG also supplies custom engineered motors with extended shafts and modified housings for blade grinders, and special lowcentre motors with a fixing arrangement that permits the motor to pivot according to the required cut pattern.

Series AMS brake motors are interchangeable with the previous motors used. They are only marginally longer than standard units because the company makes its own DC brake components ensuring optimum motor/brake interface.

AMS motors come in power ratings to 15kW and frame sizes from 63 to 132.

Specially engineered AEG STL motors, with a squared-off stator housing, are used on the grinding machines.
