ABB’s motor manufacturing facility in Ozark, Arkansas, USA, is the region’s third-largest employer and manufactures nearly 3,000 Baldor-Reliance NEMA industrial electric motors every week. These seven-and-a-half to 30 horsepower NEMA 250-frame steel and cast-iron motors are used to power fans, pumps and blowers – and other systems – that keep air, liquid and even data flowing safely and efficiently.

Strong performance improvements in Q4 and long-term margin target achieved early.

Following a detailed selection process, ABB’s Board of Directors has nominated Denise C. Johnson, group president of Caterpillar Inc, as a new member for election at the company’s upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Zurich on March 23, 2023.

Choosing the right motor and drive for an application is central to achieving the desired performance and service life. Strategic monitoring and testing help to keep the devices and systems in top form. The following are some offerings that further these crucial goals.

Pumps are literally the heart of a food plant, moving vital fluids around. And as with human hearts, electronic monitoring of their condition can ensure continued health. Digital technology has enhanced the performance and the maintenance of many kinds of industrial equipment, and pumps are no exception. The right kind of monitoring and control of pumps, and of the motors and drives that power them, can go a long way toward improving their performance and making sure they keep running.

Most readers of Plant Engineering magazine are familiar with electric motors made to National Electrical Manufacturers Asso­ciation (NEMA) standards as commonly used in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, some parts of South America and Saudi Arabia. But nearly 70% of the indus­trial motors sold worldwide are made to International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards. Motor standards for these motors are MG 1 for NEMA and the 60034 series and 60071 for IEC that define mechanical, electrical, and performance specifications.

ABB’s Baldor-Reliance Severe Duty XT motor is a true severe duty motor that bridges the gap between the Baldor-Reliance General Purpose and XEX premium severe duty motor lines.

Quick disconnect, or QD bushings, are a concentric shaft attachment method allowing easy installation and removal of v-belt sheaves, sprockets, and couplings.

ABB has extended the scope of applications for ABB Smart Sensors with a new generation design for motors in hazardous areas. Chemical and oil and gas customers can now benefit from cost-efficient condition monitoring in a wide variety of applications.

The results are in! Once again, ABB and Baldor-Reliance motors have been recognized as most preferred in the category of Electric Motor technology in the 30th annual Reader’s Choice Awards balloting for Control Design Magazine. The readers who responded anonymously to the survey represented diverse process industries with the majority of responses from North America.
