WEG: Quality From The Ground Up

FAN COVER
Steel covers on 143T up to 215T frames and cast iron on frames 254T and up.

BEARINGS
The bearings are dimensioned to ensure long life to the motor, even under heavy working conditions. Positive pressure lubrication system includes a drain plug that allows the outflow of excess grease on 254T frames up to 586/7.

EYEBOLT
For easy handling, motors 184T frames and larger are provided with an eyebolt. Footless motors are provided with two eyebolts.

FRAME
Made of FC-200 cast iron, with external fins for maximum cooling effect.

NAME PLATE
Stainless steel nameplate contains a complete and permanent record of all motor data (according to NEMA requirements).

ROTOR
Aluminum die cast into a magnetic steel lamination for low electric losses. Dynamically balanced for smooth operation, reduced vibration and noise.

FAN
Made of rigid plastic from frames 143T up to 505T and aluminum for frame 586/7. Non sparking, non toxic, resistant to environmental conditions, and ensures low noise operation.

TERMINAL BOX
Oversized, cast iron construction. Gasketed lid and between box and frame. NPT threads holes to connect conduit or cable glands.

WINDING
All copper winding wire enameled with class “H” polyester varnish. Insulating materials of high dielectric rigidity and solvent free polyester resin providing excellent mechanical resistance.

STATOR
Made of silicon steel laminations thermochemically treated to improve the electric characteristics, reducing electric losses and the operating temperature.

ENDSHIELDS
Made of cast iron, with external fins for heat dissipation. They also have polished bearing housings for longer bearing life.

V-RING SLINGER
In both endshields to protect bearings and motor from the aggressive components present in the environment.

DRAIN PLUGS
Provided with automatic drain plug that quickly drains condensation.
