AutomationDirect has added more ACCU-Torq motors from Nidec U.S. Motors. The ACCU-Torq motors are high-performance inverter duty motors and are an excellent cost-effective solution for applications that require 100 percent torque down to zero speed. They are available in 230/460 VAC and are now offered in sizes up to 20 hp at 1,800 rpm and from ¼ to 10 hp at 1,200 rpm.

Additionally, models with a preinstalled encoder are available in sizes from ¼ to 20 hp at 1,800 rpm. A separately purchased encoder retrofit kit, which includes an Avtron HS35A full-quadrature encoder, is also part of this addition.

The new ACCU-Torq motors with a 143 frame or larger come with a 3-year warranty and start at $578.00. Smaller framed motors and the encoder retrofit kit come with a 1-year warranty.
