The Quattro-Pole technology is a universal motor platform with a unique configuration of four magnetic poles and two coils.  Quattro-Pole technology delivers more power in a smaller package than conventional universal motors.  The unique magnetic flux path design reduces reluctance and therefore increases efficiency.  The Quattro-Pole product line will be deployed to address multiple industry segments, including kitchen appliances and power equipment.

For kitchen blenders and food processors, the Quattro-Pole motors can deliver 30 percent higher torque at low speeds or 30 percent higher speed with more power for a wide range of food preparation options.  The overall motor performance enables manufacturers to create more efficient kitchen appliances.  For outdoor power equipment such as electric leaf blowers, the Quattro-Pole motor can generate 20 percent higher air power, in a 20 percent lower weight package.  The overall motor performance enables faster leaf cl
