Industrial & General Purpose Motors

Rolling mills and metal forming facilities are production environments where electric motors undergo some of their toughest tests. The process of crushing hot metal between rolls t... More Details

Wastewater treatment plants are industrial facilities that play a critical role in protecting environmental health and must run without interruption around the clock. The process o... More Details

Cement manufacturing represents one of the harshest operating environments in heavy industry. From crushing raw materials to firing clinker, from grinding to packing, hundreds of i... More Details

Escalators and moving walkways carry millions of people every day, from shopping malls and metro stations to airports and business centers, and they are expected to run without int... More Details

An electric motor cannot convert all the electricity it draws into mechanical power; some of it is inevitably turned into heat. For a single motor this heat may seem small, but in ... More Details

In industrial facilities that contain flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust, selecting an electric motor goes far beyond a simple calculation of power and efficiency. In the... More Details

Some loads are simply too large to fit within the power of a single motor. A belt conveyor hundreds of metres long, the lifting system of a heavy bridge crane, or the drive of a la... More Details

An electric motor cannot convert all the energy it draws into mechanical work; part of that energy inevitably turns into heat. In most facilities, this heat is seen as a loss that ... More Details

Compressed air is often called the "fourth utility" in industry; an infrastructure that sits alongside electricity, natural gas, and water and is found in almost every facility. It... More Details

For many years, industry produced heat by burning fuel. Today this equation is changing: industrial heat pumps take low-temperature waste heat and lift it to the higher temperature... More Details

At the heart of a data center sit the servers, but the infrastructure that keeps those servers running without interruption is the cooling system. If the heat produced by thousands... More Details

Power plants, although they are facilities that generate electricity, also consume a large amount of electricity internally. Most of this consumption comes from the electric motors... More Details

There are two basic ways to turn a machine or a pump: either set up a mechanical drive with a diesel generator or engine, or use an electric motor fed from the grid. This choice di... More Details

Ceramic production involves many stages, including raw material preparation, forming, drying, firing, and glazing. Electric motors are at work in nearly all of these stages. A wide... More Details

Overhead cranes are industrial lifting systems that move heavy loads both horizontally and vertically. In these cranes, travel motors drive the movement of the bridge and the troll... More Details

The asphalt used to build roads, highways and airport runways is produced in asphalt plants. These plants carry out many stages at once, from aggregate feeding and drying to screen... More Details

Paper and pulp production is a continuous, energy-intensive industry made up of many stages, from processing the raw material to winding the finished product. In these plants, refi... More Details

Recycling plants process plastic, metal, paper, glass and waste to make them reusable, making them facilities of vital importance for the environment. In these plants, shredders, c... More Details

From furniture to construction, from joinery to packaging, wood is processed with a wide range of machines. Saws, planers, milling and sanding machines, CNC routers; all of them ru... More Details

Cold storage rooms, supermarket refrigeration, industrial cooling systems and air conditioning all run on refrigeration compressors. At the heart of these compressors is the electr... More Details
