WEG's New W50 Three Phase Electric Motors

WEG July 16, 2018

WEG has released the new generation of WEG Motors for heavy duty applications. The WEG W50 motors offer not only excellent performance, but comply with the strictest efficiency and safety criteria in the most severe applications. The compact design provides high performance, while their robust frames ensure low vibration levels.

The new mechanical concept not only optimizes characteristics like mass and length, but also offers product versatility and reduced maintenance.

Features:

- Compact and robust frame

- Low noise levels (82 dB(A) at 3600rpm)

- Optimum efficiencies due to low mechanical losses

- Innovative design of the DE endshield fins for maximum heat dissipation

- Uniform temperature distribution across the motor frame due to the exclusive internal ventilation system

- Easy access to accessories

- State of the art air deflector on the DE endshield ensuring lower bearing temperature

- Modular forced ventilation kit

- Wide range of options and accessories

- Terminal box location on either left or right side

Electrical Performance:

- Suitable for VFD applications

- High output/weight ratio

- Low starting current

- WISE® insulation system for low voltage motors

- VPI insulation system for medium voltage motors

- Insulated NDE endshield for all motors

- Wound stator winding and bearings with temperature sensors

- Low bearing temperatures ensure longer lubrication intervals and extended bearing lifetime

- Low vibration levels ensure longer motor lifetime

Put to the Ultimate Test – Part 1: Torsion Tests by HELUKABEL

DCS Put to the Ultimate Test Part 1 Torsion Tests by HELUKABEL 1 400x275

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.

For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
