We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Electric Motors",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Belt drive puts AEV into Top Gear from
Brammer UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Brammer had just ten days working with Lynch Motor Company to turn a G-Wiz automatic electric vehicle into a Mustang-beater for a forthcoming TV show".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Lightweight motors suit pressure testing from
Lafert Electric Motors: "CPS of Ipswich provides a service to construction companies that verifies their buildings' compliance with new energy saving requirements".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Group HES
concerning its Comer gearboxes
- take a look at Distribution deal reached for gearboxes and pumps
which says: "The Comer range is divided in to 21 basic groups, based on the different torques that are to be transmitted to the output shaft, which can vary from 0.5 to 65kNm".
Take a look also at the news release from Micromech, Converting from hydraulics to an electric actuator,
as well as Motor installations cover all ATEX requirements from Deritend Group,
and Pump contract is ongoing business from Deritend Group.
