Lathem's encapsulated coils are covered with DuPont's ZYTEL 70G33L resin, a glass reinforced nylon. By using encapsulated coil motors, Lathem Time Recorders and Document Stamps have a superior resistance to moisture (15% greater dielectric strength*), as well as power surges. The encapsulation process also produces stronger lead wires which reduce the chances of wires being pulled out of the motor (double the "pull-out strength"*). These compact Lathem motors are permanently lubricated and require no maintenance during their lifetime.
