There is only a twenty-five percent power gap between 200 kW and 250 kW; but this relatively small difference seriously changes the motor's frame size, weight and delivery process.... More Details

1.5 kW and 2.2 kW are the two most-used mid-range power classes in industry; from pumps to fans, from conveyors to small machines, you encounter these motors in countless applicati... More Details

When electric motors are mentioned, large powers often come to mind; yet a very large part of industrial automation runs on motors in the smallest power class. The 0.12 kW (approxi... More Details

In cement factories, the end of the production line is the packing and bagging section where the product becomes bags and pallets. This section is one of the dustiest and harshest ... More Details

Port and terminal operations depend on long-haul belt conveyors to move bulk cargo (coal, grain, clinker, ore, fertilizer) from ship to storage, and from storage to wagon or truck.... More Details

Paint and varnish production is one of the most sensitive areas of the chemical industry in terms of electric motor selection. Solvent vapors, flammable resins and volatile organic... More Details

Ice cream production plants present one of the food industry's most demanding mechanical environments: continuous low temperature, high humidity, washdown water and hygiene pressur... More Details

Pulp and cellulose production relies on large, continuously running electric motors operating in a humid environment, from grinding the wood and fiber raw material to preparing the... More Details

Battery and cell production relies on electric motors operating in a precise, continuous and often corrosive environment, from mixing the electrode paste to the coating line, from ... More Details

Glass wool and rock wool insulation material production relies on critical electric motors operating in a high-temperature, high-speed and dusty environment, from melting the raw m... More Details

Ceramic, porcelain and glaze-tile production relies on dozens of electric motors operating under high torque, heavy load and a dusty-abrasive environment, from raw material grindin... More Details

Bottle, jar and flat glass production relies on a continuous drive chain stretching from the melting furnace to the blowing machine, from the annealing (lehr) furnace to the packag... More Details

When you look at a facility's electricity bill, you see that the bulk of the consumption comes from motors. Pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors and production machines are all turn... More Details

When an IE3 motor fails, plants always face the same dilemma: should the motor be sent to a rewind workshop and rewound, or should a new IE3 motor be purchased from stock? At first... More Details

IE5 synchronous reluctance motors represent the final frontier in energy efficiency; but the only way to achieve this high efficiency in the field is to commission the motor with t... More Details

A 132 kW electric motor is no longer a product easily carried on a desktop; it is usually a project item in the 315 frame class, weighing several hundred kilograms. Making the righ... More Details

Geared motor selection looks confusing at first glance because the buyer often starts with the wrong question: "How many kW of motor do I need?" Yet in a geared motor the real dete... More Details

Ordering a motor in the horizontal version and then trying to fit it to a vertical pump or fan is one of the most common and most costly mistakes in the field. Because the motor's ... More Details

The cylindrical capacitor you see when you open the black box of a single-phase motor is really the heart of that motor. A single-phase supply needs this capacitor for the motor to... More Details

Two motors may have the same power, the same speed and the same efficiency class; yet one runs silently for years while the other soon changes bearings, wears its housing and stops... More Details
