Original Press Release:
For Tube Rolling Applications, Electric Rolling Motors Must Be Especially Rugged
Long Island City, New York USA--When expanding tubes in boilers, heat exchangers and other pressure vessels, the rolling motor must often be run to a stall, and that can damage many electric motors.

The Wilson 41238 and 22488 Electric Rolling Motors both offer features that specifically address tube expanding applications:
- These motors can repeatedly be run to a stall without damage
