French Die Caster Offers
Copper Motor Rotors
10-Year R&D Program Leads to Full Commercial Production 
FAVI S.A., a major French supplier of copper and copper alloy die castings, now offers custom-designed, copper-based rotors for squirrel-cage electric motors in sizes ranging from fractionals to 100 hp. Announcement of the company's breakthrough to full commercial-scale production is certain to be greeted with interest by motor manufacturers and others who might be thinking about entering the "super premium efficiency" motor market but are hesitant to take on the considerable technical hurdles involved. FAVI has already crossed those hurdles thanks to a 10-year R&D program conducted at the company's Hallencourt, France, facilities.
The manufacture of copper rotors is a natural evolution for the FAVI organization, which has built a strong reputation throughout Europe as a supplier of die-cast copper-alloy components for a variety of industries. The company began 47 years ago as a leading manufacturer of plumbing and water-handling products. It then found new opportunities in other die-cast products such as lock parts, electrical hardware and automotive components. Most products are die cast in standard brasses or in custom copper alloys designed by the company's metallurgists. MORE >> |
