Slip-ring Motors Modular

Slip-ring motors are used in applications requiring high starting torque or low starting current. These motors provide maximum availability, and are especially recommended for heavy load inertia applications like mill drives or situations where network conditions are weak.

Slip-ring motors are of modular construction and have a wide range of accessories. Depending on the application many alternative cooling and enclosure types are available.

The motors are of modular construction and have a wide range of accessories.
Slip-ring unit
Wound rotor motors (slip-ring motors) can be supplied with permanent contact brushes or brush-lifting gear. In both cases, the slip rings are enclosed in a housing, at the N-end, separate from the motor housing. This arrangement provides for easy access and maintenance. It keeps carbon dust out of the motor and offers the possibility of having different enclosures and cooling methods for the slip ring housing.
Slip rings with permanent contact brushes
The slip rings are manufactured from highly corrosion-resistant Cu-Sn-Ni alloy, and they are helical grooved as standard.
Slip rings with brush-lifting gear
The slip rings are manufactured from stainless steel and have a smooth, non-grooved surface. After the motor has achieved full speed, the brush-lifting and slip ring short-circuiting gear (BLG) first short-circuits the rotor winding and then raises the brushes from the slip rings.
Rotor construction
Depending on the size of the motor, a cylindrical or spider shaft is used. The rotor core is shrunk onto the shaft. Rotor coils are tightly fitted into the slots to minimize vibration. A rigid bandage is used to support the coil ends against centrifugal forces.
