FIMEC motors type 'VE' and 'DP' are enclosed by an external surface ventilation and provided with a squirrel cage rotor. They are designed, manufactured and tested in compliance with the agreed CEI Standards 2-3, with the IEC 34-1 International Recommendations and with the main foreign Standards.

With regard to the coupling power sizes, these motors are standardised and comply with the agreed UNEL National Standardsthe IEC 72 International Recommendations and the Standardisation adopted by EU member countries. From size 71-160 these motors can aslo be provided with a d.c. light security brake (type 'T') without altering the overall dimensions.

Both the 'Three Phase Motors' and the 'Three Phase Motors With Security Brake' can be manufactures with special and/or reduced flanges and shafts.

The FIMEC Asynchronous Three Phase Brake Motor consists of an enclosed motor (manufactured in accordance with the agreed UNEL-IEC dimensions) and of a friction disc brake with electromagnetic attraction which stops when the current is interruputed. Consequently the main feature of this motor is that it stops after any intentional or unintentional interruption to the current. There are two benefits from this. Firstly, if the current is unintentionally interruped, the brake motor immediately stops the machines moving components. Secondly, should it ever become necessary to stop the machine quickly, this can be done by simply applying the motor brake.
For the above reasons, the use of brake motors is usually preffered to that of standard motors, particularly in cases where the ability to stop the machine quickly is of primary importance. Features of the FIMEC brake motors are as follows:

1. Uniform breaking in both rotation directions (due to friction disc brake).
2. Braking without any axial shaft movement.
3. Electromagnetic altenate current (avoiding us o rectifier).
4. Three-phase winding electromagnet with same tension as motor. Enables motor to be fed directly from terminal box.
5. Option of feeding motor and brake seperately.
6. Option of leaving electromagnet connected, even when motor is stopped.
7. Multi connections per minute.
8. Immediate braking on current interruption.
9. Simple, strong, low maintenace brake.
10. Simple screw lever to enable brake unclamping.

FIMEC brake motors are also available with a double polarity. They are manufactured with a single winding with six buckles (type 'F'), or with a double winding with twelve buckles (type 'DPF').
