In a crusher plant, material is most often carried from the crushers to the screen and stockpile by inclined belt conveyors. These belts can be hundreds of metres long and climb a... More Details

When you want to bolt an IE3 motor to a pump, a gearbox or a machine, the success of the installation is decided as much by the flange type and dimensions as by the construction t... More Details

You don't want a conveyor belt to spill its load when it stops, a crane load to drift downward while suspended in the air, or an automatic door to coast freely as it closes. This ... More Details

The speed of an electric motor is directly determined by the number of poles, and this simple relationship plays a key role in solving many of the drive problems encountered in ind... More Details

A fire pump system is one of the most critical mechanical installations for the life safety of any facility, and the silent hero of this system is often overlooked: the jockey pump... More Details

For every manufacturer exporting machinery or motors to the European Union market, the motor's efficiency class is no longer a choice but a legal requirement. The EU's Ecodesign re... More Details

The most important line of defense protecting an electric motor from burning out is the thermal protection sensors that monitor the winding temperature. When the winding temperatur... More Details

IE5 ultra premium efficient synchronous reluctance motors, while offering the highest efficiency class, are often run in harsh dusty, wet or washdown environments. In these environ... More Details

In IE4 super premium efficient motors operating in humid and outdoor environments, condensation water accumulating inside the frame is a problem that often goes unnoticed yet cause... More Details

In any belt-and-pulley driven system, one of the most critical yet frequently overlooked mechanical components that determines how efficiently and reliably the motor will run is th... More Details

Crusher and stone-crushing plants are mostly built in the open field, on construction sites or in quarries, and their motors run all day in dusty, humid conditions with large tempe... More Details

An IE3 motor to be used in ship, offshore platform and marine projects must withstand far harsher conditions than a motor in a land plant. On board, a motor must cope simultaneousl... More Details

In many applications where the speed of asynchronous motors must be held steady and accurate, the motor's actual speed has to be measured and fed back to the drive. One of the olde... More Details

In high-power plants, an often-overlooked yet decisive topic in motor selection for cost and reliability is the supply voltage. Although the low-voltage grid standard in many count... More Details

In a food and beverage plant a pump, fan or blower motor must do far more than simply provide the right power and speed; it has to survive an aggressive hygienic cleaning regime, h... More Details

When exporting a machine or plant, the electric motor on it must suit the grid frequency and voltage of the country it is going to. While Turkey and most of Europe use a 50 Hz grid... More Details

One of the most insidious enemies of an electric motor appears not while it runs but while it stands still: condensation. When a motor stops, its frame cools, the air inside releas... More Details

The marine environment is one of the most demanding operating conditions in the world for an electric motor. Continuous vibration, the ship's inclination and roll motions, salty hu... More Details

IE4 super premium efficiency motors sit at the heart of modern, energy-saving drives. But a motor being highly efficient does not always mean it offers precise speed and position c... More Details

In large cast iron framed electric motors, bearing selection is one of the most critical decisions determining motor life and reliability. While rolling element bearings (ball and ... More Details
