A manufacturer of overhead mixers to grind plant seed materials needed a motor that could operate at extremely high speeds and high torque in order to grind the material into dust. Groschopp worked with them on a few prototypes to find something that could hold up to their torque requirements. After heat-treating the shafts to increase their strength under load and modifying the end bells, Groschopp’s PM10816 motors met the customer’s needs.
Challenges
- High torque and speed requirements
- Long life with intermittent operation
Solution
- PM10816 with customized output shaft and end bells
- Heat-treated output shaft for increased strength under load
- Long operating life
