    VFD Motor to Replace Wound rotor Motor

    We have one conveyor that is currently powered by 5 -1250 hp WRM.4 motors driving 2 pulleys at the head end, and 1 motor at the tail drive.The length of the conveyor determines the # of drives needed to move a certain load. Soon we will be increasing the Tonneage on this conveyor and it appears...

    Electric motor shafts

    We have always used hard-chrome to repair bearing journals on our electric motor shafts.Fifteen or twenty years ago we did experiment with spray welding,results were disastrous in some cases,reason why we stayed with chrome ,unless the damage was greater han .020" in which case we...
