Elwood Introduces H-Series Motors as Direct Replacements for Rockwell Legacy Motors

Racine, WI - The Elwood Corporation announces the introduction of authorized original equipment replacements for the Rockwell Automation legacy servo motor product lines:  H-Series, 1326AS, and S Series.  Introduction of the H-Series motors expands Elwood Corporation's relationship with Rockwell Automation through their Encompass Partner and Enabled programs. 

As true drop-in replacements, Elwood's H-series servo motors feature original equipment rotors, stators, feedback, and connectivity. Adding in identical mounting and dimensions, Elwood H-Series motors drop-in without changes to motor data files, tuning parameters, cables, or couplers/adapters for installed applications.  These replacement motors are not "close" to original factory design, they are exact replacements and meet original equipment specifications.

All replacement motors are built or repaired using original equipment documentation and specifications. In addition to providing replacements, Elwood can perform repairs and supply original equipment components.

Motors are produced in Elwood's 80,000 square foot Racine, Wisconsin facility.  In addition to the Rockwell legacy products, Elwood is the original equipment producer of servo motors under the label of Gettys, Modicon, AEG, Gould, and API.

Elwood Corporation is an Engineering-Manufacturing company with product lines including servo motors, hydraulic valves, photoelectric controls, proportional solenoids and high voltage capacitors.  Elwood, founded in 1973, has facilities in Oak Creek, WI; Racine, WI; Cedarburg, WI and Dalian, China.
