When an asynchronous motor starts directly from the grid, it draws, for a brief moment, a starting current several times the rated current. As this high current flows through cable... More Details

Conveyor drives, mixers, large-diameter fans, mills and directly driven heavy machinery; the common feature of these applications is that they require high torque and low speed. Th... More Details

Building basements, septic pits, stormwater collection sumps, industrial wastewater lines and agricultural drainage channels all share a common need: a submersible pump motor capab... More Details

Many businesses that switch to efficient motors notice that the electricity bill does not drop as much as expected. The most common reason is the reactive energy penalty. The react... More Details

A textile facility is not a single machine but a complex production chain made up of dozens of different machines, from spinning to weaving, from knitting to the dyehouse and garme... More Details

The IE5 efficiency class represents the highest energy-efficiency level achievable in electric motors, and the most common way to reach this class is synchronous reluctance (SynRM)... More Details

Switching a facility to high-efficiency motors solves only part of the electricity bill. The reason is that electric motors draw two kinds of power from the grid: active power (kW)... More Details

The IP protection class printed on the nameplate of a cast iron motor covers not only the sealing of the frame, but also the sealing of the terminal box and of the cable entering t... More Details

In crusher and mining plants, compressed air is often as critical an infrastructure as the main crusher. Pneumatic cylinders, clamps, filter cleaning systems, dust suppression and ... More Details

The failure of a critical IE3 motor in an industrial facility often leads to unplanned downtime lasting hours or even days. The cost of this downtime far exceeds the price of the m... More Details

The rotor of an asynchronous electric motor does not stay in the same axial position when stationary and when running. The small back-and-forth movement the rotor can make along th... More Details

When electric motors come to mind in Turkish industry, the first speed that appears is the roughly 1500 rpm delivered by 4-pole motors. In conveyors, gearbox inputs, mixers, pumps,... More Details

A self-priming jet pump is widely used in garden irrigation, booster (hydrophore), well and cistern applications where the water level sits below the pump axis. Unlike a classic ce... More Details

Buying an efficient motor is only the first step toward saving energy; the real gain comes from running that motor with the right control strategy. This is exactly where VFD flux o... More Details

From the outside, a bottle and water filling line may look like a single machine, but it is actually the sum of dozens of separate stations working in synchrony. The filling, cappi... More Details

When running an IE5 synchronous reluctance motor with a frequency drive, there is a critical parameter that most engineers overlook but which directly determines efficiency, heatin... More Details

In some applications, instead of a single motor, two motors driving the same load together are preferred. This approach offers important advantages such as redundancy, modularity a... More Details

An electric motor turning at high speed faces completely different mechanical challenges than a low-speed equivalent. A 2-pole motor turns at about 3000 rpm at 50 Hz, which means 5... More Details

In crusher, aggregate and mining plants, bucket elevators that lift material vertically are among the most critical and most heavily loaded pieces of equipment on the line. The ele... More Details

Storing an electric motor correctly is just as critical for protecting the investment as buying it. Especially for motors that will sit in stock for a long time or whose commission... More Details
