NovaGen™/NovaDrive™ 400 high-speed motor and generator

Lubrication-Free, High-Performance Motor or Power Generation: The NovaDrive™ 400 and NovaGen™ 400

The NovaDrive™ 400 high-speed motors and NovaGen™ 400 generators provide high-efficiency, excellent load capacity and high-speed operation without the need for gearboxes and lubrication systems. That means less cost, lighter weight and greener operation, without the potential for oil contamination. Remote monitoring and integrated controls provide precise operation and help minimize downtime and costs of ownership. NovaDrive™ and NovaGen™ 400 applications include the HVAC, renewable energy, petrochemical and oil and gas industries.
