Western Electric Company. Constant-speed motors from 5/8 to 60 H. P. for all voltages and great varieties of speeds are manufactured by this company, using the same frames as their belted generators shown in Fig. 61. They are built for all mountings and the various grades of protection. Fig. 103 shows one of these motors driving a band saw. Another line of motors from ½ to 5 H. P. at speeds from 2,600 to 1,100 for the three standard voltages gives the
smaller sizes. They are bipolar with a circular yoke. The poles are of a peculiar shape, circular in cross-section where the field coil is, but present rectangular pole faces to the armature. Fig. 104 is a section of this type and shows the construction. They also manufacture 4-pole, series-wound, hoisting motors with totally enclosed frame, small power motors, grinders, and several forms and sizes of fan motors. |
