Falk Introduces New

High-Efficiency Gearmotor

A new gearmotor, named the

Ultramite™ for its high efficiency and compact size, has been intro- duced by the Falk Corporation. The

Ultramite gearmotor is ideal for a wide range of general purpose, fac- tory and plant low hp/kW power transmission applications.

Substitutions, drop-in replace- ment and retrofits are reportedly made easier due to the Ultramite gearmotor's base-mounted design that has a footprint that matches those of other major manufactur- ers. A simple, plug-in and bolt-on design makes this new drive com- patible with standard, off-the-shelf

NMA and IEC-C face motors per- mitting the use of customer-pre- ferred motor brands.

The Ultramite gearmotor is avail- able in several sizes in the .25 kW (.25 hp) to 15 kW (20 hp) power range and features hardened, heli- cal gearing for energy efficiency over worm gear drives.

Falk's new gearmotor is also available in flange-mounted hous- ings for additional flexibility. The

Ultramite gearmotor is available locally virtually anywhere in the world via Falk's global distribution network.

Engines To Chinese Yard

Volvo Penta Marine Commercial has, via its Hong Kong importer

Jebsen & Co. Ltd., secured a major order from China, a contract to sup- ply 36 engines to a local shipyard.

The order is worth about $2.1 mil- lion.

The German shipping company,

Fisser & v. Doornum recently placed an order for a dozen 4,600-dwt con- tainer vessels with Chinese ship- builder Xingang Shipyard. Each vessel will be equipped with two complete genset units and an emer- gency generator supplied by Volvo

Penta.

The vessels will each be supplied with electrical power by two Volvo

Penta TAMD162C six-cylinder, tur- bocharged diesels, each rated at 375 kW, while the emergency generator will be powered by a Volvo Penta

TAMD 71 developing 110 kW.

Located immediately south of

Beijing and employing 6,300 people, the Xingang yard is part of the China

State Shipbuilding Corporation.

The engines are scheduled for de- livery in 1995 and 1996.

Volvo Penta opened up a sales of- fice in Hong Kong following recent successes in Far East markets, espe- cially China. The company has also decided to open an office in Singapore for its Asian operations. The new office will be headed by Anders

Bevreus, currently vice president of

Volvo Penta Industry.
