Vertical Mount Electric Motors

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 mount electric motors.

The definite purpose application of vertical motors dictates a number of construction features that set them apart from horizontal motors. We provide drive modules motors control systems and plc scada solutions. Drives and automation ltd are a one stop independent shop for a full range of industrial automation products and system integration services. Vertical motors typically drive pumps using thrust bearings.

By jim bryan electrical apparatus service association easa bearing construction is a key difference between vertical motors and horizontal motors that are mounted vertically. Above nema vertical p base motors are the ideal fit for any pump or fan system where space is at a premium. 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. That is because horizontal foot mounted motors are bolted to a solid base.

Independent advice is provided on the most suited product by application. 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. 1 horizontal machines have bearings designed to hold the motor weight as a radial vertical plane loading with accommodation for axial thrust as necessary.

Vertical motors can experience greater vibration than horizontal motors. Offering performance and reliability to the chemical oil gas industry above nema p base. Offerings more power and thrust in a smaller frame provides a solution to minimize the overall pump or fan system footprint. Grainger carries motor mounting brackets to help you install or maintain a variety of blower motors.

The abb synchronous motors for vertical applications are known for meeting the high performance standards demanded by many of key industries and industrial sectors all over the world. Vertical motors differ from horizontal units in various ways including their oil leak risks. From the electrical perspective there is no difference between horizontal and vertical mounted machines.
