If you are going to mount a cast iron motor to a gearbox, pump or machine via a flange, a single letter in the order code decides whether the motor will seat on the machine. Is the... More Details
An IE5 synchronous reluctance (SynRM) motor delivers its ultra-premium efficiency only when driven by a correctly matched variable frequency drive (VFD); therefore the DC bus volta... More Details
In boiler, furnace, dryer and industrial combustion plants, the ID fan (induced draft fan) that draws the flue gas from the environment is the backbone of the plant's continuous an... More Details
At the top of the causes of burnout in three-phase asynchronous motors is an insidious fault that often develops unnoticed: single phasing (phase loss). The interruption of one of ... More Details
The most critical mechanical component determining the life of an electric motor is the bearing, and the bearing's life depends directly on correct lubrication. The majority of mot... More Details
An aggregate washing sand screw (also called a log washer) is a screw-type machine used in sand quarries and aggregate plants to wash sand and aggregate with water, separating the ... More Details
A hammer mill is a heavy-duty machine used across a wide range of industries, from grinding grain and raw materials in feed factories to fine-crushing material in mining and recycl... More Details
The bearing is the most worn and most frequently failing part in an electric motor. Although greasing maintenance extends the bearing’s life, when the balls or races are dama... More Details
The biggest obstacle to transitioning to high-efficiency motors is often not technical but financial. A facility knows that when it replaces its old standard motors with IE3 or IE4... More Details
In most industrial applications, 2-pole (3000 rpm) and 4-pole (1500 rpm) motors are standard; however, some jobs by their nature demand low speed. Large-diameter fans, slow mixers,... More Details
Cast iron body electric motors are noticeably heavier than their aluminium-bodied counterparts. In the field this weight provides a great advantage as mechanical strength and vibra... More Details
When you place an IE5 synchronous reluctance (SynRM) motor next to an asynchronous motor of the same power, they look mechanically similar; however, their electrical behaviour diff... More Details
In an electric motor order, there is a detail as practically important as power, speed, frame size and mounting position but most often noticed at the last moment: the orientation ... More Details
When ordering an electric motor, there is one piece of information as important as power, speed and frame size but often overlooked: the mounting position, that is, the IM code. Th... More Details
When people think of pumps, centrifugal pumps usually come to mind; however, positive displacement pumps are used in applications requiring high-viscosity fluids, precise flow and ... More Details
Star-delta starting is one of the most common methods for reducing starting current in medium and large asynchronous motors. However, the success of this method often depends on a ... More Details
In crusher and stone-crushing plants, the main crusher is usually driven by a V-belt and pulley system rather than a direct coupling. There are two reasons for this: the crusher sh... More Details
Frequently starting and stopping a motor to position, align or run it in short pulses (jogging or inching) is a far more demanding regime for the motor than it appears. At every st... More Details
When deciding which motor to replace in a facility, most operators rely on guesswork: "This motor is old, it must be inefficient" or "This line must be drawing a lot of electricity... More Details
A screw air compressor is one of the longest-running pieces of equipment in most facilities; it often runs continuously at full load 16–24 hours a day. For this reason, selecting t... More Details
