Better Bearing Protection
02 November 2012
With enhancements to its patented bearing protection AMETEK Floorcare & Specialty Motors claims to have eliminated a major cause of failure for vacuum motors used in wet pickup applications.
The latest generation of AMETEK wet pickup vacuum motors also offers enhanced performance and improved energy efficiency.
Bearing protection improvements involved moving the bearings to a clean dry area and relocating the cooling fan. The enhanced design also includes a labyrinth run-in seal for added protection. The enhanced bearing protection puts an end to operator concerns about motor failure due to grease wash out.
With enhancements to both the motor and fan design, AMETEK’s new 6.6-inch, two-stage vacuum motors are said to outperform similar 3-stage, 5.7-inch diameter motors, while consuming less power.
