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

In industrial facilities, electric motors consume a large part of the electrical energy; therefore, motors are always a priority in energy management. The ISO 50001 Energy Manageme... More Details

When the winding of an IE3 motor burns out or fails, the classic question facing businesses is: is it more sensible to rewind the motor or to buy a new IE3 motor? At first glance, ... More Details

IE5 synchronous reluctance (SynRM) motors are becoming increasingly common in industry with their ultra premium efficiency; however, the most important difference of these motors f... More Details

Buying a 132 kW high-power electric motor is a very different process from taking a small-power motor off the shelf and bolting it on. In this class, the motor becomes a project it... More Details

Selecting a small-power geared motor that runs on a 220V single-phase supply may look simple at first, but it is in fact an engineering decision where output speed, reduction ratio... 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

The six terminals and few bridge pieces you see when you first open a motor's terminal box are actually the most critical decision determining the voltage at which the motor will r... More Details

The asynchronous motor is the most widely used drive element in industry, and most of its reliability depends on a part almost no user ever sees: the squirrel-cage rotor. When the ... More Details

Fermentation and bioreactor plants are production environments at the heart of the food, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and beverage industries, where hygiene and process control ar... More Details

Salt processing and refining plants are among the industrial environments where corrosion is most decisive for an electric motor. Salt (sodium chloride), when exposed to moisture, ... More Details

Lime kilns and calcination plants are among the most demanding industrial environments for an electric motor: high temperature, dense lime and stone dust, heavy mechanical load and... More Details

Modern egg and poultry (broiler) houses are fully automation-based facilities: feed distribution, egg collection, manure removal and ventilation are now managed by electric motors.... More Details

Textile dyehouses and finishing plants are among the most demanding electromechanical environments in a textile factory: high temperature, dense steam, chemical vapors and constant... More Details

Galvanizing and hot-dip coating plants are among the most demanding industrial environments ever built to protect steel against corrosion. Molten zinc baths, pre-treatment tanks co... More Details

Ice factories and cold chain facilities are among the most demanding industrial environments for electric motors. Continuously running ammonia refrigeration compressors, tank agita... More Details
