Products & Services
DC Motor Starters
DC motor starters combine a controller (most often a contactor) with overload protection, allowing a motor or motor-controlled equipment to be turned on and off.
Motor Starters and Contactors
Motor starters and contactors are motor-starting devices. They combine a contactor with overload protection and are designed for starting AC or DC motors.
AC Motor Starters
AC motor starters are used to turn-on and turn-off electric motors and motor-controlled equipment. They use solid-state or electromechanical technologies, and are designed for single-phase or three-phase motors.
Oxide Ceramics
Oxide ceramics include alumina, zirconia, silica, aluminum silicate, magnesia and other metal oxide based materials.
Industrial Ceramic Materials
Industrial ceramic materials are non-metallic, inorganic compounds that include oxides, carbides, or nitrides. They have high melting points, low wear resistance, and a wide range of electrical properties.
