Vertical Mount Electric Motors

By jim bryan electrical apparatus service association easa bearing construction is a key difference between vertical motors and horizontal motors that are mounted vertically.

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. Drives and automation ltd are a one stop independent shop for a full range of industrial automation products and system integration services. Choose from adjustable welded 3 ring brackets rugged galvanized stamped steel butt mount brackets double wire band lug mounting kits and more. 1 horizontal machines have bearings designed to hold the motor weight as a radial vertical plane loading with accommodation for axial thrust as necessary.

Independent advice is provided on the most suited product by application. Offerings more power and thrust in a smaller frame provides a solution to minimize the overall pump or fan system footprint. Vertical motors differ from horizontal units in various ways including their oil leak risks. 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. The definite purpose application of vertical motors dictates a number of construction features that set them apart from horizontal motors. Above nema vertical p base motors are the ideal fit for any pump or fan system where space is at a premium. 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.

From the electrical perspective there is no difference between horizontal and vertical mounted machines. Vertical motors typically drive pumps using thrust bearings. From the mechanical perspective. 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. 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. Most vertical motor vibration problems involve system resonance. By tom bishop p e easa.
