Introducing the Industry's First Product Line of Permanent DC Motors with All-Stainless Steel Construction
The Industry's first PMDC motors will be marketed as part of LEESON's Premium All-Stainless Steel product line of motors. Premium All-Stainless Motors are specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of the pharmaceutical, food processing, and beverage industries - they are also ideal in clean room and severe chemical processing applications involving frequent washdown with corrosive solutions containing caustic lye, bleach, nitric acid, alkaline, and concentrated surfactants. These motors will be available from stock in LEESON District warehouses in 31 locations in North America and Europe.
LEESON's Premium All-Stainless DC Motors feature:
o All exterior components are 300-series stainless steel.
o Nothing on the exterior of the motor is painted or coated in any way.
o All sealing components are Viton® for superior chemical resistance.
o Full-fact nameplate is laser etched on the motor frame - no separately attached nameplate to trap dirt or contaminants.
o Endshields are O-ring sealed to the frame.
o Double-lip shaft seals on both ends of the TEFC motors (shaft end only TENV motors).
o Removable hydrophobic breathers in opposite shaft endbell and conduit box equalize pressure not allowing moisture to enter.
o Exterior fasteners used minimizing the number of entry points for moisture. There are no holes in the frame for attaching a nameplate. Bearing lock screws are located inside the motor and the conduit box mounting screws have been eliminated.
o Double-sealed bearings are pre-lubricated with moisture-resistant high-temperature grease for long life.
o Interior coatings applied to armature and frame/magnet assemble protect against corrosion.
o Brush tubes are sealed with Viton® O-rings to keep moisture out
o Easy to clean construction is BISSC Certified for bakery applications.
o Available in NEMA & IEC (metric) mounting configurations.
