Standard features on most models include fan-cooling for high output power, aluminum center ring and end shields for high thermal efficiency and light weight, totally enclosed IP-20 rating, hardened helical output gearing for quietness, and high output torque. Hollow-shaft versions of right-angle gearmotors are also available.
