  • ABB’s improved Baldor-Reliance Food Safe stainless steel motors bring a higher level of reliability and cleanability | Press release

    Now, more than ever, it is vital that food and beverage companies choose supplier partners that understand their processes, helping to improve plant reliability, sustainability and achieve productivity goals.
  • Designs and construction features of marine motors

    Commercial marine motors in general are high-grade motors treated for corrosion resistance and designed for use on shipboard applications. These motors meet the regulatory requirements governed by three major specifications: the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Rules for Building and Classing Marine Vessels1, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) Electrical Engineering Regulations2 and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard 45, Recommended Practice for Electric Installations on Shipboard3. Marine motors are also used for other-than-shipboard service in functions on offshore drilling rigs, shipyard applications and port equipment. Marine motors are usually mounted to steel structures, which are subject to vibration and shock or pitch and roll movement, and typical marine application settings are very humid and salt-laden harsh environments. Therefore, the environments in which shipboard motors operate and the functions they perform require unique design and construction considerations above those of standard industrial motors.
  • ABB expands its family of Baldor-Reliance EC Titanium motors | Press release

    ABB has added IEC frame options to its integrated motor-drive offering of Baldor-Reliance EC Titanium motors. Standard features include aluminum housed top-mount of axial mount integrated drive, IP55 enclosure, internal shaft grounding brush and class-F insulation. EC Titanium motors are rated for inverter use per IEC 60034-18-41. The IEC integrated motor-drive is capable of operating as a top-mount drive in ratings of 1 to 10 HP (0.75 – 7.5 kW), or axial-mount drive in ratings 1 to 7.5 HP (0.75 – 5.5 kW).
