Application Considerations

CONSIDER LIFECYCLE OPERATING COSTS FIRST The initial cost of an electric motor makes up 5% or less of the total cost of operation. So all aspects of the motor operation should be considered when purchasing motors.

ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS

LOW VIBRATION MEANS LONG LIFE Vibration is bad for motors and driven equipment. Motor bearings, in particular, begin to wear faster with high vibration levels. Beyond focusing on proper alignment, base, and voltage, users should also pay more attention to the design of the motor itself. In most cases, manufacturers are content to simply stay within the NEMA or IEEE standards because many engineers, of course, specify these limits.

Each petroleum, chemical, power generation, pulp/paper, mining, metal, mineral, water/wastewater, and general process application has unique torque, speed, voltage, enclosure, temperature, and industry standard requirements that must be designed into motors.

Ultra Series Vertical Since bearing wear is one of the leading causes of motor failure, reducing its chances reduces your unplanned downtime. Our application engineers have been told by many users that their driven equipment tends to run smoother with low vibration motors. All of this leads to lower maintenance costs on the entire drive system. XSD Ultra Horizontal It is well documented that motors designed with low vibration have longer bearing life.
