Unique Inverter Duty AC Motors

August 31, 2011

Unique Inverter AC Motors by GroschoppGroschopp’s AC motors are inverter duty classified.

The inverter duty motor is small and compact. Thus, reducing energy consumption. The smallest AC motor offered, the AC65, measures just 2.88 inches square and 5.22 inches in length. This motor series is designed to directly integrate with Groschopp’s standard reducer lines with minimal interface components optimizing both size and cost. Groschopp’s AC motor further reduces energy consumption with its ability to run at varying speeds.

Since this motor has no common wear parts such as brushes and commutators, it is highly reliable, featuring long life potential and low maintenance. Since the AC motor maintains speed over a wide range of torque it integrates well with commercial ovens, conveyors, insulation blowers, augers, medical beds, X-ray tubes and other conveyor and continuous motion machines. With customization options for speed control and high heat resistance along with the convenient customization from standard to food-grade grease permits the AC motor to synchronize well with commercial, industrial, and construction applications.

The standard features in a Groschopp AC motor include: rugged ball-bearing construction, high-efficiency stator and rotor tolerances and impregnated windings designed to withstand more than twice the nominal voltage.

The Groschopp AC motor has a superb heat dissipation system.

Groschopp’s AC motors have innovative cooling channels in the motor housing to avoid dust and grime build-up that can cause overheating and motor damage. To further withstand the heat, these motors also have insulation that meets “H” class temperature ratings with the ability to withstand temperatures up to 180 degrees Celsius.

Because of this, Groschopp offers a single phase, 115 and a 230 VAC motor and a high power, 230 volt, three phase motor. Groschopp can also custom build a dual voltage AC motor. Depending on the supply voltage and control requirements, both our single- and three-phase design options provide multiple cost-effective choices.

How to use the Motor Search Tool

Narrow your search by selecting motor type, gearbox, voltage, and phase options for your desired motor.

Select a dominant variable: choose one of the three parameters to narrow your search. The selected variable determines which slider bar you will be able to manually move.

Use the slider corresponding to your dominant variable to further narrow your motor selection. The other sliders will automatically move to show available ranges based on the range of your selected variable.

Results will upload as your search criteria changes. If you have any questions regarding your results or how to use the search tool, you can chat with us using the green tab on the left-hand side of your screen.
