Reliable Power and Precise Feed Control
The Vari-Feed Drive Motor is engineered to provide consistent power to the feed roll system of Williams & Hussey variable speed molders.
This 1/17 HP, single phase motor drives the feed chains and sprockets that regulate material movement through the cutting head. Precise feed control is essential for maintaining molding quality, minimizing chatter, and ensuring smooth finish results.
Designed for demanding shop environments, this motor operates quietly across the full speed range while delivering stable torque and long service life.
