These custom-wound AC induction motors can produce an amazing amount of power and torque at excellent levels of efficiency. Some of the benefits of an AC induction motor are a longer power band, higher RPM, regenerative braking, and easy reversing. They do not require contactor pre-charge resistors or diodes.
The AC 50 motor is an 8" motor that is capable of producing 73 horsepower and 110 ft-lbs. of torque. It was designed for use in an automotive application with a curb weight of 3500 lbs or less. This system is used in other vehicles that require the torque and horsepower that this motor supplies. It is available with or without a 7/8" auxiliary shaft. This motor is very popular in the mining industry. It can also be used for marine craft.
The AC 51 motor is the same 8" motor that has been designed around the Curtis 144 volt controller. It is capable of producing 88 horsepower and 108 ft-lbs. of torque. It was designed for use in an automotive application with a curb weight of 4000 lbs or less. This system is used in other vehicles that require the torque and horsepower that this motor supplies. It is available with or without a 7/8" auxiliary shaft.
Typical applications for which this motor can be applied:
