TX Hang-Up Motor, Choices for Speed Control and Handpiece

Foredom’s most powerful flex shaft machines with 1/3HP have permanent magnet DC motors that feature the latest in flex shaft technology. These ball bearing models utilize advanced rare earth magnets (in place of the wound fields in our universal type Series SR motors) that deliver more torque at the low end and throughout the entire speed range of 500 to 15,000 RPM. No other flex shaft gives you greater control of the cutting tool, drill, or bur under any load. Comes equipped with a motor bale for hanging, and our standard 39″ long key tip inner shaft and outer sheath for connecting to any of Foredom’s key tip compatible handpieces.

Speed Controls: Each of these have electronics that convert AC current from an electrical outlet to DC current, the type required by Series TX motors. They also have a different style plug that is made to fit the motor’s shielded-type plug to avoid any confusion with other motors you might own.

C.TXR has a heavy duty plastic housing with an extra wide footprint, low profile, and non-skid pads on the bottom.

C.SXR foot operated speed control comes in a metal housing and the extra weight provides added stability and control. It features the same durable electronics as the C.TXR-1.

C.EMX looks the same as our standard table top variable speed control and it may be positioned anywhere on a work surface. The hand dial is used to adjust and set speed. This manual style control allows you to maintain and return to a desired speed, time and again by marking the setting on the dial. The C.EMX also has a replaceable fuse that protects the electronics during power surges and work overloads.
