80% of our customers should get an SR.
Our best advice is to go with a model within the Series SR. Series SR flex shaft motors are 1/6 HP, run in forward and reverse at speeds up to 18,000 RPM, and offer all of the power and speed needed to accomplish most every job. Keep in mind that our motors are rated at continuous duty or maximum efficiency and NOT maximum output. If we adopted the max output rating used by other manufacturers, it would qualify as 1/5 or 1/4HP.
Series SR motors come in 115 Volt and 230 Volt (for use where 115V is not available). Two Year Limited Warranty on Motor and Control.
M.SR Motor is a hang up motor with a standard 39″ long key-tip shaft for connecting to any of Foredom’s interchangeable, quick disconnect handpieces.
C.FCT-1 Speed Control is Foredom’s most popular speed control. It features solid state circuitry in a heavy duty plastic housing with an extra wide footprint, low profile, and non-skid pads on the bottom. It provides smooth control throughout the entire speed range. CSA listed. 7-1/4″ long, 4-1/2″ wide, 2-1/2″ high; ship wt 2 lb/1 kg
A Handpiece is Required to Operate your Flex Shaft Machine and comes separately. The Foredom flex shaft system is designed to allow interchangeability of most handpieces.Sets: Sets are popular combinations of Motors, Speed Controls and Handpieces.
Additional Motor Details: The 1/6 hp, ball bearing Series SR has 33% more power than our older 1/8 hp motors, and 66% more than our original 1/10 hp models. The added power helps to reduce stalling or slowing down under normal workloads.
