Centrifugal and turbo blowers are dynamic-type air machines that deliver a large volume of air at low or medium pressure. They are at the heart of high-airflow applications such as... More Details

The most reliable way to know whether an asynchronous motor can drive a load correctly is to read the motor's speed-torque (M-n) curve. This curve shows how much torque the motor p... More Details

When ordering an electric motor, the voltage and frequency values on the nameplate are the most fundamental data determining where and how the motor will operate. In Turkey and Eur... More Details

The shaft hoist and skip systems that lift ore from hundreds of metres below ground to the surface are among the most critical and most demanding pieces of equipment in a mine. At ... More Details

Before connecting an IE3-efficient three-phase motor to the panel, the single most critical question is this: should the windings be wired in star (Y) or delta (Δ)? This decision i... More Details

An efficient motor consumes electricity even while idling without drawing load. Although the motor seems to be doing nothing, the iron loss spent building its magnetic field and th... More Details

You bought a high-efficiency IE4 or IE5 motor; the efficiency figure on the nameplate is impressive. But if the transmission element (belt or coupling) that carries the power from ... More Details

If you run your IE4 motor with a variable frequency drive (VFD) to produce continuous full torque at low speed, the fan on the motor's own shaft end may let you down halfway. In a ... More Details

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
