With features that ensure greater reliability and improved motor life in harsh working environments, the highly robust design also includes cast-iron construction (from frame sizes 100 upwards), high-integrity seals and oversized bearings. Rotor believes that a large part of the UK motor market requires a better quality motor at a highly competitive price, stocked and supported in the UK.

Commenting upon the launch of the rotor nl range, Jerry Hodek, Managing Director of Rotor (UK) says: "At Rotor, we want to ensure that our standard range of motors is the best available, allowing our standard rotor nl motors to be used with confidence in harsh operating environments. As a manufacturer, we are also able to deliver modifications at very short notice, making our motors suitable for most applications. Our motors are also accredited to all major quality standards, allowing them to be fitted with complete confidence to any processing application."

The rotor nl range is available in frame sizes up to 315, and certain sizes come with larger bearings than standard motors. The motors are readily available in face-, flange- and foot-mounted options from a large stock held by Rotor in the UK.

Rotor UK can also meet special demands at short notice. These can include special shafts and customising motors to provide additional security from harsh conditions, including epoxy protective coatings, ATEX certification and also increased ingress protection to IP56, which makes the motors suitable for use in processing applications where there is an explosion risk or corrosive materials are used.
