Customer Preference 90% 2000 Percentage of of studies conducted The percentages shown reflect resultsresearch studies in which Baldor was chosen most preferred. in which Baldor was chosen as “most preferred” For nearly 100 years, Baldor has strived to provide customers with the best value and reliability in industrial electric motors. That kind of dedication results in satisfied customers and a strong preference for Baldor•Reliance motors, as the chart above shows. Here are just a few of the things Baldor does to earn such recognition: Baldor offers the industry’s broadest line of...

Baldor•Reliance Large Frame AC Motors... value customers expect! Baldor•Reliance motors provide industry leading value largely because of their 100+ year heritage of exceeding customer expectations. This includes providing Large AC Motors to customers for more than 50 years and in doing so, gaining a deep understanding of a broad range of industries and critical applications. The Baldor•Reliance product legacy extends from a wide range of general purpose motors to motors designed for the most hazardous and critical application extremes. In addition to Baldor’s being the most preferred supplier...

Baldor Large AC Motors: Built for Reliable Performance Optional fabricated conduit box found on custom built Large AC Motors. Note: The standard stock motor conduit box is cast iron. Inlet cone to direct air into the cooling chamber. This minimizes recirculating air and improves fan efficiency. Class F (or better) insulation system allows windings to withstand higher temperatures resulting in longer life. Medium voltage motors feature formed copper coils with glass mica-wrapped magnet wire, further insulated with Nomex® tape. Lead separator/ gasket between frame and conduit box keeps contaminants...

Big Motors can mean Big Savings by understanding how to make Energy Efficiency work for you Why all the talk about Motors and Energy Efficiency? Electric motor-driven systems used in industrial processes consume about 63% of all electricity used in the U.S. industrial sector according to a U.S. Department of Energy report. In a later report the D.O.E. also said that “best practices” have shown an average energy savings of 33% when these practices include motor and motor systems upgrades, including the use of adjustable speed drives. Thinking beyond the Initial Purchase Price The D.O.E. has shown...

Test and Verify Baldor employs state of the art design tools, advanced materials and dependable manufacturing methods to achieve a precise combination of desired performance characteristics. Additionally, both individual components and assembled motors are rigorously tested and proven to meet the specified requirements. Materials and components are tested before assembly to make certain material specifications are being met by suppliers. During the manufacturing process, sub assemblies such as stator and core are tested prior to final assembly. After final assembly every motor gets a Routine...

Insulation Systems for Large AC Motors For motors utilizing form wound constriction for the stator coils there are (3) options available for the type of insulation system used. SolidCure - This is the standard insulation system and is the foundation for all Baldor•Reliance medium voltage motors, and when form wound coils are specified for low voltage motors. It is a Class F rated system using Class H materials. Coils are wrapped with layers of mica imptrgnated nomex tape. Stators recieve additional bracing in the coil-heads, and the whole stator is processed in 100% solid epoxy resin through...
