Motor Types and Parts

Motor Types and Parts

Rotor: 2 Types
  • Squirrel cage rotor
    • Iron core
    • Embedded conductor
  • Wound rotor

 

Stator parts
  • Coil winding
  • Shading band
  • Stator pole
  • Inside coil
  • Outside coil
  • Bearings…ball or sleeve
  • Frame…totally enclosed/vented/hermetic


Parts of the Motor
  • Fan
  • End bell
  • Electrical connection box
  • Winding
  • Stator
  • Rotor
  • External shaft
  • End bell

 

Motor Enclosures
  • Totally open motor
    Vents on sides + end
  • Modified totally open motor
    • Vents on ends only
  • Open drip-proof motor
    • Drips of liquid will not enter
  • Totally enclosed (non-vent motor)
    • Generally used when subjected to moisture


Sleeve Bearings
  • Lubricated by coil…..SAE 20, 30 0r refrigeration oil 200 or 300
  • Wicked system…consisting of a cotton or wool with in an oil reservoir
  • Slip Ring….consisting of brass clip ring on the motor shaft as the shaft turns the  ring turns slowly picking up oil from an oil pocket.

 

Ball Bearings
  • Lubricated by grease. These may be sealed or serviceable

Oil-less Bushing
  • A shaft passes through a sintered (porous bronze) bushing.  The bushing has been impregnated with oil at the factory considered to be permanently lubricated.  Used on low Hp. Fan Motors
