Sprint Electric, a leading UK manufacturer of advanced AC and DC drives, has announced a strategic partnership with TEC Motors, the UK’s largest electric motor distributor, to supply matched motors for its latest innovation, Generis, the ultra-low harmonic and fully regenerative AC drive.
Alan Baird, global head of sales, comments: “The partnership with TEC motors brings together two British companies that are committed to innovation and quality, with the shared goal of supporting the future of efficient industrial automation. Generis is designed to deliver high-performance AC electric motor control using our patented switching technology.
“With ultra-low harmonics, intermittent or continuous regeneration and energy-efficient operation, Generis is engineered to extend the lifespan of connected equipment while offering superior reliability and precision. The compact size and light weight are key features of the drive, so we are delighted to find the motor range with the exact specifications to match the requirements of Generis,” said Alan.
Neill Drennan, business development manager, said: “The matched motors are force ventilated to offer a large speed range (100:1) and have encoder feedback to give high accuracy and dynamic performance. The voltage and frame sizes are matched to meet the IEC standard sizing and offer effective power output, which is ideal for industrial applications.”
Gary Keen, director at Sprint Electric, said: “This partnership with TEC Motors marks a significant step forward for Generis. TEC’s reputation for reliability and technical excellence in the UK industrial sector made it straightforward decision. TEC motors has an exceptional depth of stockholding and is known for excellent service, so we are confident the partnership with TEC motors will deliver the performance needed for Generis.”
Gareth Richardson, sales director at TEC Motors, added: “We are very pleased to be partnering with Sprint Electric with the matched motor and drive combination for Generis. Our expertise in power transmission allowed us to deliver the precise motor specifications required. We are excited to contribute to a step forward in motor control, work with the Sprint Electric team and continue to develop our relationship in the future.”
