Brother Gearmotors, a division of Brother International Corporation that offers a wide range of ultra-reliable, sub-fractional AC gearmotors and reducers for the food & beverage, packaging and material handling industries, will showcase several new benefits for customers in North America at WestPack Booth #4442, February 10-12 in Anaheim, CA. The company’s presence at WestPack represents its heightened emphasis on North America, and demonstrates the company’s continued commitment to the OEM marketplace.
Brother Gearmotors is one of the world’s largest fine-pitch gear manufacturers and meets industry demand for smaller, lighter, reliable and energy-efficient power transmission components. At its WestPack booth, Brother will be touting the opening of its U.S. assembly facility in Bartlett, TN, which will house onsite assembly of over 27,000 unique SKUs and serve as a maintenance and repair hub for the Gearmotor division. This large product variety allows Brother Gearmotors to meet customers’ needs with a 3 to 5-day delivery, as well as provide emergency overnight delivery when necessary.
At the Bartlett facility, on-site technology also makes available a more comprehensive product mix to North American customers, including 16 different gear ratios and six voltage options. In addition, Brother Gearmotors’ expanded range of bore sizes open up a broader potential customer base for the company’s gearmotors.
Key attributes of gearmotors from Brother include:
-
Light, reliable and compact in size
-
High torque at low speed
-
Sealed for life for maximum efficiency and reduced labor
-
Standard high-grade grease for lifetime lubrication and reduced maintenance/downtime
-
High-quality, durable, e-coat paint to withstand the toughest environments
More efficient than worm gearboxes as a result of hardened hypoid gearing
“Brother Gearmotors’ emphasis at WestPack is on showcasing our greatly expanded product offerings and service capabilities for customers in North America, centered on the assembly center in Tennessee,” said Matthew Roberson, Senior Director of Brother Gearmotors. “In doing so, we further enhance our reputation for providing gearmotors that are durable, reliable and comparably low on energy consumption.”
