| Mr Bentley Mr Hullet Mr Blacmale for R Standard geared Motor 25/3/29 max Torque type prefered Could be a regulated type perhaps for here enclosed & pulley perhaps, belt drive [Drawing notes:] high speed v. {VIENNA} efficient motor of low first cost with good power factor small space & weight This shows an industrial, 3 phase motor with reduction gear. (or for crane work) The motor if small run 3000 & if larger @ 1500 (4 pole) The gear is internal & enclose therefore silent & clean & lubricated & can be vibro-harden (without distorting) but to suit the casing must be about 3 to 1 ratio [wonderfully good type! of gearing] A belt pulley, pinion or coupling can be on the secondary motor shaft, & brake drum over casing. | ||
