BELOIT, Wis.—Regal Beloit Corporation, a leading manufacturer of electric motors, electrical motion controls, power generation and power transmission components, announced that four of its products have been named finalists in Plant Engineering’s 2017 Product of the Year program:
- SealMaster Large Bore Performance Gold Line Mounted Ball Bearing;
- SealMaster Skwezloc Locking Collar;
- System Plast MODSORT Right Angle Transfer Module (see image above);
- UlteMAX Axial PM motor.
The finalist products will be voted on by Plant Engineering subscribers through January 5, 2018.
The UlteMAX motor’s unique profile and design offer a systemic shift in the commercial HVAC motor industry, featuring one-third the weight and size of a traditional induction motor and an integrated configurable control for fast, easy installation, operation and serviceability.
The Skwezloc Locking Collar achieves improved lock reliability through an innovative circumferential groove on its inner ring bore that reduces stress on the inner ring
The time-saving Axial Groove in the inner ring of the Large Bore Performance Gold Line Mounted Ball Bearing bore allows for easier bearing removal.
The MODSORT Right Angle Transfer Module is a low-noise, low-voltage station that easily integrates with new or existing material handling systems, with the ability to transfer a wide array of products.
