Transcript: Today I am going to introduce you to our AC Electric Motor range of products stocked, modified, and supplied by John Brooks, an Industrial and Automation Supplier.

An electric motor is a device used to convert electrical energy into Rotational energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in the wound wire to generate force in the form of torque applied to the motor shaft. Here at John Brooks, we offer unique solutions that are interchangeable with all leading brands and stocked locally in New Zealand. This includes: B3 – Foot Mounted, B3B5 & B3B14 foot and Flange mounted, Brake Motors complete with hand release.
