Larger Conduit Boxes with Stud Type Terminal Block Engineered for Increased Efficiency and Easy Installation

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, is introducing new, larger conduit boxes – complete with stud type terminal blocks – as a standard offering for its 1-3 horsepower gearmotors.

All orders placed after July 1 will come with the next-generation conduit box and stud type terminal blocks. The upgrade replaces existing E-Boxes and features several important benefits:

Increased efficiency: All 1-3 horsepower gearmotors will include conduit boxes with stud type terminal blocks
Easier wiring: Larger size allows for easier and safer handling of wires
Quicker installation: Stud type terminal block allows for quicker and more secure wiring connections
Flexible: Easily accommodates wiring changes

All Brother Gearmotors in the 1-3 HP range are compliant with the new government (DOE) mandate for small electric motors that took effect June 1, 2016.

“We anticipate complete satisfaction with our new conduit boxes, and believe their efficiency and flexibility will enhance our customers’ experience with Brother’s high-efficiency, hypoid bevel gearmotors,” said Matthew Roberson, Senior Director of Brother Gearmotors.
