Principles of Medium & Large AC Motors, 1st Edition - IEC

  • February 2020
  • Number of views: 56591
  • Article rating: 4.3

This manual covers horizontal and vertical squirrel-cage induction motors in the 300 to 5,000 horsepower range, low- and medium-voltage. Most of the principles covered apply to other sizes as well. This manual focuses primarily on IEC motors and standards.

Root Cause Failure Analysis, 2nd Edition

  • September 2019
  • Number of views: 35308
  • Article rating: 4.2

This book was developed to help electric motor technicians and engineers prevent repeated failures because the root cause of failure was never determined. By using a proven methodology combined with extensive lists of known causes of failures, one can identify the actual cause of failure without being an “industry expert.” In fact, when properly used, this material will polish one’s diagnostic skills that would qualify one as an industry expert.

Fundamentos de Reparación Mecánica de Motores Eléctricos

  • March 2022
  • Number of views: 18130
  • Article rating: 4.0

En toda reparación mecánica, la capacidad para desmontar, reparar y volver a montar el motor de forma apropiada sin dañar innecesariamente ninguna de sus piezas es fundamental.

Esta obra contiene muchas sugerencias sobre el manejo apropiado de las diferentes partes de un motor para minimizar los daños durante el proceso de reparación. Sin embargo, es imposible desarrollar un listado que las incluya todas.

En cambio, el principio básico de tomarse el tiempo para usar la herramienta adecuada y por lo general el procedimiento apropiado guiará a los técnicos por el camino correcto.

Vertical Motor Operation and Repair

FREE for Members of EASA

Vertical motors differ from horizontal motors in numerous ways, yet some view them as “just a horizontal motor turned on end.” The obvious differences are the (usually) thrust bearings, with arrangements varying from single- to three-thrust bearings with different orientations suited for specific load, rpm and applications. Less obvious differences are in the ventilation arrangements, shaft stiffness, degrees of protection and runout tolerances. This recording will cover those topics.

Principios de Motores C.A. Medianos y Grandes - NEMA

  • February 2019
  • Number of views: 16673
  • Article rating: 4.5

Las versiones impresas y en forma de descarga del valioso manual didáctico / recurso de EASA, “Principios de Motores C.A. Medianos y Grandes”, se  ahora disponibles en inglés y en español. El manual incluye gráficos e ilustraciones, fotografías y mucha información técnica sobre máquinas C.A., incluyendo como funcionan, información específica sobre los tipos de encerramientos, fabricación de componentes y aplicaciones.  Muchos de los principios incluidos en el libro aplican a todos los motores C.A., especialmente a aquellos accesorios que fueron asociados en el pasado con las máquinas más grandes (como encoders, RTDs, termostatos, calentadores de espacio, sensores de vibración, etc.).

Principles of Medium & Large AC Motors, 2nd Edition - NEMA

  • August 2015
  • Number of views: 16636
  • Article rating: 4.3

This manual, a companion to EASA's 2-day seminar of the same name, covers horizontal and vertical squirrel-cage induction motors in the 300 to 5,000 horsepower range, low- and medium-voltage. Most of the principles covered apply to other sizes as well. This manual focuses primarily on NEMA motors.

Converting motors from horizontal to vertical mount

  • September 2018
  • Number of views: 16476
  • Article rating: 4.8

Occasionally an end user wants to take a motor designed for horizontal mounting and use it in a vertical position. In this article, we will address some of the key mechanical factors that should be considered when applying a horizontal ball bearing motor in a vertical mounting position.

Start with cause of oil leaks in repair process on sleeve bearing motors

  • July 2000
  • Number of views: 13937
  • Article rating: 2.5

Have you ever repaired a sleeve bearing motor, only to have the customer complain that it leaks oil? Perhaps the motor had a history of oil leaks, and the windings were oil-saturated when you dismantled it. Two-pole machines are especially notorious as chronic oil leakers. The first step toward correcting an oil leak is to identify the cause. 

Convirtiendo motores de montaje horizontal a vertical

  • Number of views: 12902
  • Article rating: 4.5

De vez en cuando un usuario final quiere utilizar un motor diseñado para montaje horizontal en posición vertical. En este artículo, trataremos algunos factores mecánicos clave que deben ser considerados cuando se utiliza un motor horizontal con rodamientos de bolas en una aplicación en la que trabaja en montaje vertical. La Figura 1 ilustra un motor horizontal en posición vertical con el eje hacia abajo.

Los factores clave incluyen:

  • Capacidad de carga axial del rodamiento que soporta el peso del rotor.
  • Peso del rotor
  • Peso de los elementos acoplados al eje de salida
  • Empuje axial de los equipos de impulsión acoplados directamente
  • Trayectorias de lubricación de los rodamientos
  • Retención del lubricante de los rodamientos
  • Orientación del eje: Hacia abajo o hacia arriba
  • Protección contra ingreso
  • Fijación axial del rodamiento de empuje
