1. When used on a motor nameplate, a number which indicates how much above the nameplate rating a motor can be loaded without causing serious degradation, (i.e., a 1.15 S-F can produce 15% greater torque than the 1.0 S-F rating of the same motor).
2. When used in applying motors or gearmotors, a figure of merit which is used to "adjust" measured loads in an attempt to compensate for conditions which are difficult to measure or define. Typically, measured loads are multiplied by service factors (experience factors) and the result in an "equivalent required torque" rating of a motor or gearmotor.
Industry:Electrical equipment
A defect in a winding which causes part of the normal electrical circuit to be bypassed. This frequently results in reducing the resistance or impedance to such an extent as to cause overheating of the winding, and subsequent burnout.
Industry:Electrical equipment
The rotating member of the motor which protrudes past the bearings for attachment to the driven apparatus.
Industry:Electrical equipment
Integral-horsepower shunt motors, are used where the primary load requirements are for minimum speed variation from full-load to no-load and/or constant horsepower over an adjustable speed range at constant potential. Shunt motors are suitable for average starting torque loads.
Typical applications include individual drives for machine tools, such as drills and lathes, and centrifugal fans and blowers which are regulated by means of the discharge opening.
Industry:Electrical equipment
Arrangement of laminations on a rotor or armature to provide a slight angular pattern of their slots with respect to the shaft axis. This pattern helps to eliminate low speed cogging effects in an armature and minimise induced vibration in a rotor as well as reduce associated noise. Also can help to increase starting torque.
Industry:Electrical equipment
A type of bearing with no rolling elements, where the motor shaft rides on a film of oil.
Industry:Electrical equipment
The difference between the speed of the rotating magnetic field (which is always synchronous) and the rotor in a non-synchronous induction motor is known as slip and is expressed as a percentage of a synchronous speed. Slip generally increases with an increase in torque.
Industry:Electrical equipment
Small resistance heater units mounted in a motor, that are energized, during motor shutdown, to prevent condensation of moisture on the motor windings.
Industry:Electrical equipment
Motor with special operating characteristics or special mechanical construction, or both, designed for a particular application and not falling within the definition of a general purpose or definite purpose motor.
Industry:Electrical equipment
An open motor in which the ventilating openings are so constructed that drops of liquid or solid particles falling on it or coming toward it in a straight line at any angle not greater than 100 degrees from the vertical, cannot enter either directly or by striking and running along a surface of the motor.
