Overview
The Control Techniques DXE-4120W servo motor is a legacy-design industrial motor engineered for precision motion control applications. This Control Techniques servo motor operates at 230VAC single-phase input with a rated speed of 3000 RPM and delivers continuous torque of 120 lb-in. The splashproof English-mount design with 4-inch frame accommodates wet and washdown environments. Discontinued by the manufacturer, this motor remains a reliable choice for retrofit and replacement applications where exact specifications match your automation system requirements.
