You saw it at the IEEE PCIC show in Philadelphia in the fall. Now, it’s ready to show you what it can do for your pumping, drilling, or ventilation applications. It’s the first and only certified motor of its kind—the only API Standard 547 Monogram® motor in the world to earn the API 547 Q mark from the American Petroleum Institute.

Developed specifically for the petroleum and chemical industry, this new large AC Duty Master motor is easy to specify and has features that are engineered to handle severe-duty challenges.

Linear motors provide unique speed and positioning advantages for machine builders, and Baldor has published a useful guide to the technology. The 48-page catalog includes details of a wide range of linear motors and stages, plus useful engineering sections including a motor sizing guide, a specification sheet to help define requirements, conversion tables for engineering units, and linear motor FAQs. There is also a guide to the components integrated in ready-made, multi-axis positioning stages.

Among the linear motor products detailed in the catalogue are cog-free servo motor types for smooth motion applications, brushless iron core servos, steppers, AC induction, brushed DC, non-commutated DC, and AC polynoid types.

The catalog is available free of charge in electronic or printed form. A PDF can be downloaded from http://www.baldormotion.com/br1202 .
Or the printed versions can be requested by calling 479 646 4711.

Baldor has been selected to receive a 2006 Control Engineering Engineers' Choice Award for Stainless Steel Servo Gearheads.

As an award winner, our Stainless Steel Servo Gearheads are among the most significant product innovations of 2006.

More than 700 votes were cast for 109 products in 19 categories, and 40 products earned the distinction of Engineers' Choice Award winners.

Control Engineering subscribers were asked to select winners based on three criteria: service to the industry (usefulness), technological advancement (innovation) and market impact (would buy it tomorrow if I could).

Congratulations Baldor!

Plant Engineering presented Baldor with two 2006 “Product of the Year” awards. One was in the Electric Motors, Drives & Controls category, where our H2 washdown Duty Inverter won the Silver award.

Our Stainless Steel Servo-Rated Gearhead, submitted in the Power Transmission category, won the Grand Prize Award.

The readers of Plant Engineering magazine, not their editors, select winners in each category.

You can see all the winners on the Plant Engineering website at. http://www.plantengineering.com/article/CA6431227.html?industryid=47223

A PowerPoint presentation of all of the winners is available at this site also.
