We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Energy Efficient 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 Motors and drives make cuts for the NHS from
WEG Electric Motors (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Over 70 WEG electric motors and variable speed drives have been installed at the two major London healthcare sites".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Miniature motors boast more power from
Danaher Motion: "Brushless motors weigh just 33g but provide 50W power at up to 60,000rev/min in a compact 16mm housing".
In July 2005, we covered the news from Filtermist International
concerning its FiltermistXcel
- take a look at Oil mist collectors on show in Hanover
which says: "Filtermist will be exhibiting the widest range of oil mist collectors of any manufacturer in the world at the EMO Hanover exhibition, from 14th to 21st September 2005".
Take a look also at the news release from ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors), HVAC success spurs drives growth,
as well as Steam systems training promises payback from Spirax Sarco,
and New name at IWEX from Sumitomo Drive Technologies.
