We are distributors for US Electrical Motors, Emerson Power Transmission, AC Tech Drives, Sprecher & Schuh Controls, WEG Electric and GE Electric Motors. Most electric motors operate through the interaction of magnetic fields and current-carrying conductors to generate force. The reverse process, producing electrical energy from mechanical energy, is done by generators such as an alternator or a dynamo; some electric motors can also be used as generators, for example, a traction motor on a vehicle may perform both tasks. Electric motors and generators are commonly referred to as electric machines.
