Determining motor size when not accurately stated
Determining motor size when not accurately stated
(OP)
I am a purchasing agent, and trying to verify the size (in watts or horsepower) of electrical motors that are used in power tools. They are typically 500 watts or less.
I suspect that our vendor is not giving us what is specified, but am having a difficult time figuring out how to gauge the size of an electric motor.
Any instructions would be really helpful. I know how to get the motor out of the product, but then what?
Thanks
John

If there not giving you what you specified -don't pay them. I learned a long time ago to treat required documentation just like any other part of an order. If they didn't send it, don't pay for any of it. If they don't want to pay send it back. Your PO should state what documentation is required and state payment is contingent on arrival of ALL of the order.

These brake pads are often asbestos so care must be utilized in their use or you create another type of problem.
