We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Induction 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 Motor control kits offer easy upgrade path from
Technosoft, which we summarised at the time by saying "The MCK28335 kits are complete development platforms that come with a power module and a brushless or an induction motor, providing suitable tools for digital motion control designs".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release DaimlerChrysler places large drive order from
Control Techniques: "Around 600 Control Techniques drives were used in the Vaneo production facility in Ludwigsfelde and production was optimised by direct communication between PLCs and the drives".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Baldor UK
concerning its MotiFlex e100 drives
- take a look at High-power drives suit heavy-duty applications
which says: "Baldor's MotiFlex e100 drives meet the demands of printing, papermaking, converting, textiles, plastics and steel production".
Take a look also at the news release from Siemens Automation and Drives, Are copper rotors the answer?,
as well as Soft starters overcome torque problems from WEG Electric Motors (UK),
and Encoder improves interference immunity from Sick (UK).
