We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Induction Motor",
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 Test rigs upgrade motor repair services from
Anstee Ware Group, which we summarised at the time by saying "Permanent magnet motor repair and calibration service covers all manufacturers, makes and sizes, and includes the complete overhaul of motors, gearboxes and pumps".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Encoder improves interference immunity from
Sick (UK): "Sick's VFS60 high-resolution incremental hollow shaft encoder offers excellent concentricity and exceptional robustness".
In May 2007, we covered the news from Lafert Electric Motors
concerning its Two-speed motors
- take a look at Saving energy with two-speed motors
which says: "Nigel Evenett contends that there is plenty of life left in two-speed motors".
Take a look also at the news release from WEG Electric Motors (UK), High-efficiency motors explained,
as well as Motor ranges come together from Lafert Electric Motors,
and Brushless electric fan improves HVAC design from S and S Tech.
