Wound-Field DC Motors Features & Benefits
Wound-Field DC motors features and benefits are listed here for series wound, split series wound, shunt-wound and compound wound DC motors.
Contact DC Motors Inc. for more information and for recommendations on the wound-field DC motor best suited for your application.
Rugged Construction
Heavy-duty cast iron or die-cast aluminum brackets, precision machined to provide uniform air gap alignment and to give rigid bearing support. Welded on a rigid base allows all angle operation.
Brush Design
Excellent commutation even under adverse conditions. Brush pressures are carefully controlled for quite efficient operation. Ease of brush replacement provides minimum maintenance time. Two pole design provides excellent commutation even under adverse conditions.
Insulation
Normal Class insulation for high thermal and electric characteristics.
Internal Ventilation
Internal fan and unique stator design supplies maximum airflow over the field coils and across the armature in an open drip-proof design.
Laminated Stator Field and Armature Construction
Provides high efficiencies and lower losses. Available with series, split series, shunt, and compound windings allowing maximum variation for the performance best suited to your application.
Dynamically Balanced Armature
Armatures are dynamically balanced to provide smooth vibration-free operation and to reduce axial bearing loading. Armatures are dipped and baked in Class F insulating varnish, insuring maximum stress protection and maintenance-free life.
High Armature Skew
Designed specifically for optimum performance at low speeds. Provides quiet operation and minimizes cogging on S.C.R. controls.
Ball Bearing Design
Precision ball bearings pre-lubricated with high-temperature grease.
