Robust frame ensures great stability and
optimum dynamic behavior
For maximum flexibility, ABB synchronous motors are
designed for horizontal, inclined or vertical mounting
(vertical mounting available for motors with eight or more
poles). The robust frame transfers dynamic and static
stresses directly to the foundation, reducing vibration
and contributing to the overall excellent performance
of the motor.
We can supply motors – even up to the largest sizes and
outputs – as complete, ready-to-install units (in some cases
the heat exchanger or terminal box has to be removed prior
to shipment). This means that no further on-site assembly
is needed, which substantially reduces installation times
and cuts the risk that something could go wrong during
installation.
Our R&D team works closely with manufacturers of driven
equipment, using FEM and dynamic animation techniques,
to analyze vibration models, test critical parts and verify that
hazardous mechanical resonances will not occur in the motor.
Corrosion protection
Our motors are designed and built to withstand the
relevant
environmental conditions. All surfaces made of steel, aluminum
alloy or cast iron are treated in accordance with the chosen
paint system. Selection of a suitable paint system gives reliable
anti-corrosion protection even under the most severe
environmental conditions. For moderate indoor conditions
the standard finish is moisture-proof in accordance with the
relevant standards. Solvent free paints are used wherever
possible in order to minimize environmental impacts.
