Commercial and industrial DC motors are known for their reliability and longevity in the toughest conditions. Pair a solid state control device with a high torque DC motor for variable speed and variable torque in low and high voltage applications.
IEC frame AC motors are found in commercial and industrial applications with frame standards defined by the International Electrotechnical commission for the electric motor global market.
Gearmotors (geared motors) are made up of a gearing and motor packages designed together and engineered for durability and reliability. Gearmotors come in a range of shaft, torque, and speed requirements for any operation.
Our motor accessories include EC (Electronically Commutated) harnesses, control modules, user interfaces, programmers and testers. We offer a range of mounting accessories for bases, rings, adapters, mounting-brackets, and mounting studs.
The electric motor overview explains and highlights the functionality and a brief history of AC and DC motors. Read to learn about their uses, enclosures, environments and mounting features available within the market today.
When tasked with choosing a new gearmotor, spending time researching and planning on the front end can lead to a big payoff in terms of overall efficiency and cost savings throughout the lifetime of the motor. Choosing a proper gearmotor will allow the application to operate at its optimal capacity and will ensure the motor lasts for many years.
The electric motor in its simplest terms is a converter of electrical energy to useful mechanical energy. While many types of motors are produced today, alternating current induction motors (AC motors) and direct current motors (DC motors) are among the most commonly used in commercial and industrial applications.
An industrial electric motor is an electrical machine that converts energy into motion. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied to the motor's shaft.
Industrial electric motors, traditionally ranging between 5 to 12,000 horsepower and frame sizes from 140 and larger, are used in a large variety of markets and industries. On the most basic level, electric motors turn electrical energy into physical motion in order to do something. They are creating the power to run conveyors, pumps, air moving systems, and many other needs in the toughest industries.
Understanding industrial motor nameplate data is the critical first step in determining industrial motor replacements. Much of the information needed can generally be obtained from the nameplate. Knowing how to read the nameplate and what the abbreviations stand for will help to ensure you select an appropriate motor replacement. It is also helpful to record all nameplate information as it can save time and confusion in the future.
As the world continues to ask questions such as “how are we using energy?” and “is this energy being used wisely?”, we are seeing increased governmental regulations, a focus on reducing strain on existing infrastructure, lower levels of fossil fuel emissions, and advances in materials and electronics. All these factors are causing the demand for Permanent Magnet AC (PMAC) motors to increase.
The amount of torque produced by an electric motor varies with speed and depends on the type and design of the motor. Learn more about the traditional types of torque speed curves found in motor applications.
Motor life expectancy is never guaranteed. Dozens of factors play into a shortened life and downtime. By keeping an eye out for these considerations, you increase the longevity of your electric motor in its application.
Standard electric motors are based on frame sizes and specifications established by the National Electrical Manufacturer Association (NEMA®*) or the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC®*). But what about those large motors required for heavy duty and extreme applications? For these applications that require industrial motors with frame sizes larger than NEMA 449 or IEC 315, we must turn to Above NEMA motors.
Washdown duty motors are constructed to withstand a wide range of environments and applications. These areas of usage have the potential for caustic cleaning and disinfectants in the pharmaceutical world to heavy wash down in milk processing environments, customers have an extensive range of needs for their motors. It can be difficult to sort through the noise of motor listings, but by focusing on these top considerations you’ll be able to narrow down your options quickly!
AC and DC drives are important electrical components that allow you to modify the level of voltage being supplied to an electric motor. Find out why they're so important and how you can modify your applications using one!
