Slip Ring Motors

Felco slip ring motors are a specialized type of asynchronous motor, designed for heavy-duty applications that demand high starting torque, smooth acceleration, and precise load control. Unlike standard squirrel cage motors, these motors feature a wound rotor connected to external resistors via slip rings and brushes. This allows for variable rotor resistance during startup, enabling reduced starting current and optimized torque characteristics. Felco slip ring motors are ideally suited for demanding industries where reliable performance under high mechanical loads is essential — including cranes, elevators, conveyors, crushers, and mills.
