Machine & Equipment Dress

Machine and product dress

Two details make a machine recognizably ours. The brand ring is a narrow band of RPG Red (RAL 3020) around the drive-end flange or the front bezel. The nameplate band is a red strip behind the rating plate that carries the Rotor symbol and the product-brand lockup in white. Both are applied at the factory as powder coat or a cast-in insert, and neither is moved, painted over or trimmed in the field.

On drive cabinets, control panels and benches taller than 1.2 m, the Rotor symbol goes on the upper left of the main door, at least 150 mm across and never on a vent grille.

Red is an accent, never a base color. No housing, door or frame is painted RPG Red overall.

RPG ServiceLine contact label

Application guidelines

Version 3.0, issued January 2026

Summary

Introduction

The RPG ServiceLine contact label tells an operator who to call when a motor, drive or cabinet needs help.

It goes on every product we ship, repair or refurbish, and on every customer asset covered by an RPG ServiceLine contract. The label carries the ServiceLine lockup, the service phone number, the service email address, a QR code that opens the asset's service record and the serial number in readable type.

These rules apply to all plants, repair centers, channel partners and contractors.

Printing materials

Labels have to survive oil mist, washdown, heat from the motor surface and years of sunlight on outdoor equipment. Order them only from the approved label list in the RPG Production System, supplied by Kessler Druck, in one of these materials:

• Polyester (PET) face stock, 50 µm, matte white, for general indoor equipment
• Polyimide face stock where the housing runs above 90 °C at the label position
• Brushed aluminum foil, 0.1 mm, for outdoor, marine and WindTurn installations
• Permanent acrylic adhesive rated from -40 °C to 150 °C
• Clear polyester overlaminate with UV inhibitor on every printed label
• Thermal transfer printing with resin ribbon for serial numbers and QR codes, never direct thermal

Sizing

There are three standard sizes. Pick the largest one that fits a flat, clean area of the housing or door without wrapping around an edge, a cooling fin or a fastener.

Never scale the artwork to an in-between size. The QR code stays at least 15 mm square so a phone can read it at arm's length.

Standard sizes, width by height:

• Small: 50 x 25 mm, for MicroX, RoboTorq and other motors under 80 mm frame size
• Medium: 80 x 40 mm, for most servo, BLDC, pump and traction motors
• Large: 120 x 60 mm, for drive cabinets, control panels, test benches and CargoMax units

Placement

Place the label where an operator in the normal working position can read it without opening a guard or removing a cover. Keep it at least 20 mm from the rating plate so the two are never confused.

• Motors: on the non-drive-end side of the housing next to the terminal box, text horizontal as mounted
• Cabinets and panels: on the main door, lower right, between 1.2 m and 1.6 m from the floor
• Test benches and stands: on the operator-side frame near the emergency stop, never on or around it

Compliance

The ServiceLine label never replaces or covers a safety label, a CE or UL mark, a rating plate or any marking a customer contract requires. If space is tight, those markings win and the ServiceLine label moves somewhere else.

Repair centers check every returned unit for a present, readable label before it ships back. Missing or damaged labels are replaced free of charge. Send questions to Ananya Kulkarni, ServiceLine Operations, at service@rpgmotor-works.com.
