13/08/2012 Rotor (UK) Limited / Regal Beloit UK
The complete range of Marathon Electric NEMA motors is now available in the UK through Betech of Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire. Marathon Electric are part of the Regal Group of companies and manufacture quality AC & DC Motors for both Industrial and commercial use.Betech is committed to holding an extensive stock of Marathon motors, enabling them to offer rapid delivery times. In addition it is able to source the more unusual motors direct from the USA, with lead times being optimised to meet customer requirements.
Marathon motors are premium efficiency, and of robust cast iron construction. They are ideal for competitively replacing NEMA frame motors operating in the UK, with UL/CSA approval and EISA compliance they are also a great option for OEMs looking to export their machinery to North America.
"There is a sizable market for the American standard NEMA motors in the UK," says Chris Benson, Managing Director of Betech. "Many American manufacturers use NEMA standards in their UK and European production plants, as part of their global supply/standard strategy; American OEMs export to the UK and their systems need technical support; and of course British OEMs build for the American market.
"There is another major segment in supplying to those countries under the American sphere of influence. This extends across the Pacific region and into parts of Asia, and embraces Canada and South America. Plenty of American equipment has found its way into Africa over the years and in more recent times they have pushed hard into the old Soviet countries and China too. In fact when you add it up, it is a good chunk of the world market."
Marathon makes a full range of AC and DC motors including UL Recognised, CSA Certified, Cast Iron foot mounted frames, with C-face kits available for easy modification; CE Marked -EISA 2007 Compliant for export back to USA and UL Recognised, CSA Certified, CE Marked with two year warranty. These are available in sizes up to 1250HP, with high efficiency versions in the range 3-75HP. Betech also holds inverter duty motors with high performance insulation in stock, along with constant and variable torque variants.
Betech was established over 25 years ago to sell the best quality brands in the power transmission, motion control and automation industries. It uses the latest technology to ensure fast accurate response and service, and its technical team offers application advice based on a wealth of experience in many sectors.
"Our aim with Marathon is to be able to serve the majority of UK needs directly from our warehouse here in West Yorkshire," says Chris. "For larger sizes, 6 Pole, 8 Pole, Open Drip Proof and other less common requirements, we aim to source from the USA but to still meet agreed delivery requirements. We can also order Marathon generators if requested."

It is part of the Regal family of companies, a leading manufacturing group of electrical and mechanical motion control and power generation products serving markets throughout the world.
