Brushless motor
Intended for high speed applications requiring precision accuracy, the NEMA size 17 brushless dc servo motors are designed to operate at up to 8,000 rpm with 250W power output. The motors reach a peak torque of 33 oz-inch and 10 oz-inch continuous torque. Available for use with all three-phase servo amplifiers, the motors reportedly make minimal noise and can fit into small system spaces.

Planetary gearhead
The TP-High Torque planetary gearhead has a 1 arcmin. standard backlash and, according to the company, 110% higher torque and 50% greater rigidity than the original TP design. A 700% increase in overload safety over the original design suits the gearhead for high peak torque applications. Gearhead sizes range from 10 to 110, and ratios from 22:1 to 220:1.

Steam boilers
Electric steam boilers are available from 3 to 1,620 kW. The devices provide 9 to 4,883 lbs of useful steam per hour with a feed-water temperature of 50F. Applications include steam for chemical tanks and storage, autoclaves, dyestuffs, food processing, and pipe tracing. Each steam boiler is UL listed and ASME certified. An electronic controller automatically maintains proper water level and powers down the boiler when the supply drops below safe levels.
