Vertical mount electric motors. 1 horizontal machines have bearings designed to hold the motor weight as a radial vertical plane loading with accommodation for axial thrust as necessary. The definite purpose application of vertical motors dictates a number of construction features that set them apart from horizontal motors. Converting motors from horizontal mount to vertical mount examine mechanical factors that should be considered when applying a horizontal ball bearing motor in a vertical mounting position. We provide drive modules motors control systems and plc scada solutions.
Independent advice is provided on the most suited product by application. By tom bishop p e easa. That is because horizontal foot mounted motors are bolted to a solid base. Most vertical motor vibration problems involve system resonance.
Offerings more power and thrust in a smaller frame provides a solution to minimize the overall pump or fan system footprint. From the mechanical perspective. Vertical motors differ from horizontal units in various ways including their oil leak risks. Choose from adjustable welded 3 ring brackets rugged galvanized stamped steel butt mount brackets double wire band lug mounting kits and more.
Drives and automation ltd are a one stop independent shop for a full range of industrial automation products and system integration services. By jim bryan electrical apparatus service association easa bearing construction is a key difference between vertical motors and horizontal motors that are mounted vertically. Grainger carries motor mounting brackets to help you install or maintain a variety of blower motors. Offering performance and reliability to the chemical oil gas industry above nema p base.
Some differences are obvious such as a vertical motor typically drives a pump and has a p base mount without feet and a horizontal motor may have a footed or footless mount with a c or d flange or no flange. Vertical motors can experience greater vibration than horizontal motors. With vertical motors only the lower end is attached to a mounting flange while the upper end remains unsupported. This can be seen in our extensive line of synchronous vertical motors which range from 1 to 70 mw 8 pole and higher typically up to max of 40.
Vertical motors typically drive pumps using thrust bearings.
