Groschopp announces its new Harsh Environment IP66 Motor and Gearmotor product line.
Welcome to the most comprehensive and durable family of IP66-rated fractional horsepower motors and gearmotors available in the industry.
“Very few manufacturers in our industry achieve the level that we have gone to in developing this product line they stop at IP65,” said Sales Manager. “This new product line captures our many years of engineering experience that has been tested and proven with a wide variety OEMs, and it packages that experience into these optimum harsh environment solutions.”
The product line includes Permanent Magnet DC, Brushless DC, and AC Induction motors ranging from 0.05 hp to 1.0 hp. Any of the motors work with Right Angle, Parallel Shaft or Planetary speed reducers to create an integrated, IP66-rated gearmotor solution.
Over a decade of experience with several Tier 1 companies in the heavy automotive transmission industry has honed Groschopp’s expertise in designing and manufacturing to meet IP66 ratings. Some of the many rigorous test specifications met for this expertise include the following: high vibration, salt spray, mud, temperature extremes, and “million-mile” operating guarantees.
“Most of our customers and prospects, when they hear these application stories, are impressed with our engineering capabilities,” added Tullar. “Its our depth of engineering expertise that convinces them that they can trust the Groschopp team to follow through – from design promise to execution.”
Solid experience with fluid power and pumping applications provides a firm foundation for the IP66 capability. This is particularly notable where acidic solutions and corrosive chemicals are involved. Typically these applications require the motor/gearmotor to be completely watertight. Additionally, they must be capable of withstanding extremes in vibration and submersion. That being said, Groschopp’s proven and tested knowledge of both bearing materials and sealing methods specific to these OEM applications allows us to quickly and reliably propose cost-effective designs for these hostile environments.
Tullar reports that recent OEM engagements have specifications that exceed IP66. As a result, both the customers and Groschopp engineers are confident that these next level designs can be achieved.
“With each new project in our IP66 product line, our capability continues to expand and ultimately, all of our customers can reap the rewards,” he concluded.
