This company has expanded its line of Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC) vertical motors, with a new medium-high thrust motor (photo). This U.S. Motors products are available in frame sizes 182 through 286 and are engineered for use in severe-duty environments. The motors drive pumps that are used in many different industries, such as water and wastewater, petrochemical, power and mining. They feature improved conduit box sealing, cast-iron frame, brackets and fan cover guard, and through-the-bearing lubrication for better expelling of used grease, which extends motor life and is particularly critical for vertical motors. The motors also include an option to meet API 610 driver requirements. — Nidec Motor Corp., St. Louis, Mo.
