Product Description
Foredom's most popular SR motor with a Square Drive Industrial flexshaft, foot pedal, and H.44T handpiece.
. Foredom is the world leading manufacturer of flexshafts. This SR pendant hanging motor is the most popular motor of all.

Why is the label red rather than blue - is this a fake?!
No, the label is red to show it is a UK 230 voltage motor, rather than a US voltage.
Any Foredom hanging motor you buy in Europe SHOULD have a red label. If it is blue it is designed for 110V.
