Motors
Thrust bearings
Electrical equipment; Motors
Special bearings used to handle higher than normal axial forces exerted on the shaft of the motor as is the case with some fan or pump blade mountings.
Tube cooled
Electrical equipment; Motors
A motor in which heat is dissipated by air-to-air heat exchange.
Vacuum degassed bearings
Electrical equipment; Motors
Vacuum degassing is a process used in the purifying of steel for ball bearings assuring a very dense and consistent bearing surface. This results in a longer lasting superior bearing. All Reliance ...
Variable torque
Electrical equipment; Motors
A multi-speed motor used on loads whose torque requirements vary with speed as in some centrifugal pumps and blowers. The HP varies as the square of the speed.
Vertical motor
Electrical equipment; Motors
A motor being mounted vertically (shaft up or down) as in many pump applications.
Voltage
Electrical equipment; Motors
The force that causes a current to flow in an electrical circuit. Analogous to pressure in hydraulics, voltage is often referred to as electrical pressure. The voltage of a motor is usually ...
Voltage drop
Electrical equipment; Motors
Loss encountered across a circuit impedance from power source to applicable point (motor) caused by the resistance in conductor. Voltage drop across a resistor takes the form of heat released into ...
