Tormek T-8 Voltage and Frequency compatibility





Greetings,

I’m interested in buying Tormek T-8 and I’m located in Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, the official retail in my country (hawitools.com) doesn’t have any stock for a long time so I decided to order the machine online. The voltage in my country is 220-240V with a frequency of 60 Hz (Not 50 Hz), therefore I will be ordering it from Europe. However, I noticed that in the description of the machine, on almost all European retailers websites, that it works on 230V and 50Hz Only

My questions are:

Is the description accurate? i.e. Do you manufacture machines that work only on 50Hz?

If the answer on the above question is Yes. Does it harm the motor if I run it on 60Hz.

Please note that I’m asking about the 230v model (not 110v model).

Awaiting your kind response and advice.

Best Regards,
Bander

  • Hi Bander.
    Yes you can run our 220-240V T-8 motors on 60Hz. They are 50-60Hz compatible.
    The only difference is that the machine will run a bit faster on 60Hz instead of 50Hz. From approximately 90rpm to 105-107rpm.
    It will not damage the motor at all.
