AC Motors, Stainless Steel

Baldor has added IEC-frame models to its range of all-stainless-steel washdown-duty AC motors. Offering exceptional energy efficiency, combined with special construction features that assure users of extended life and reliability, the unique new SSE motors are ideal for applications involving exposure to caustic chemicals. Designed for maximum corrosion resistance, these are particularly suitable for food and dairy product processing, and pharmaceutical and brewing industries, which frequently employ caustic solutions and high-pressure jets for cleaning. The motors are equally suitable for use in chemical processing and manufacturing plants, as well as for outdoor applications – especially in hostile environments involving corrosive agents such as salt spray. The motors operate from standard 50 Hz three-phase supplies and are available initially in IEC D80, 90, 100 and 112 frame sizes, spanning a power range from 0.37 to 4 kW — with higher power versions following. Motors with ratings up to 0.75 kW employ TENV (totally enclosed, non-ventilated) housings, while higher output models use TEFC (totally enclosed, fan-cooled) enclosures. Users can choose from different mounting options to suit the application. All external surfaces — including the casing, mounting feet and flanges, cable conduit box and drive shaft — are constructed from stainless steel, making them virtually impervious to corrosion. And labyrinth seals are used at either end of the drive shaft to prevent the ingress of moisture, and help protect the motor bearings by rotating and expelling contaminants.
