Increased productivity with maximum energy efficiency, this is the meaning of the new WEG electric motor platform. High efficiency and Low cost of Ownership throughout the entire motor lifetime have been the basis for the W22 development. A design created to anticipate concepts on performance and energy savings.
A product that can operate the most of its designed lifetime consuming the minimum possible energy with high levels of productivity operating continuously without unplanned stops and with top performance, thus generating the maximum value to the user – this is what is behind W22 new concept.
Costs with energy correspond to approximately 90% of total operational costs throughout motor lifetime, being acquisition, installation and maintenance cost the other 10%. W22 new industrial motors platform are supplied with efficiencies above the EFF1 minimum required values, thus guaranteeing energy savings and reduced payback time.
The new concept allows terminal box to be mounted top, right or left by using an extensor without disassembling the complete motor, thus reducing modification time and reducing stocks.
W22 motors are built using high quality cast iron at WEG own foundries, assuring maximum durability and high performance in aggressive conditions. The new fan cover design provides great resistance against impacts. Additionally the non-drive endshield has been redesigned for a better bearing heat dissipation.
The exclusive WISE insulation system used on the W22 range increases windings dielectrical resistance, thus allowing VFD operation up to 575V without requiring further modification which results in flexibility and extended motor lifetime.
The W22 platform, offering high efficiency and low lifetime costs, will be the basis for further WEG developments. For example, as well as new permanent magnet motors and Exd motors, an Eco design of compact motors with optimised materials of construction are in development offering a reduced frame size per output. WEG is confident that the principles of the W22 design are the basis for a highly successful international class of electric motors.
Redesigned to provide improved air flow through all motor frame keeping low operational temperatures and assuring reliability and extended lifetime. The aerodynamic concept of the fan cover increases effective airflow, thus minimizing losses due to the recirculation of air between fan and fan cover. The impeller was designed to provide a tough structure and to reduce noise level. Motor terminal box and eyebolts was repositioned to allow better airflow.
This new cooling system also contributes to:
- Cooler bearing temperature extending relubrication intervals and providing a longer bearing lifetime.
- Lower Noise Level fulfilling the most demanding Health & Safety regulations.
- Lower Overall Operational Temperature resulting in a more efficient material usage.
Increased internal space and terminal block more accessible to the user reflecting in an easier cable handling and cable connection. The dimensions were optimized to provide more space to the power supply cables inlet and to auxiliary connectors resulting in easier assembly.
Terminal box was placed closer to the drive end side of the motor resulting in bering temperature and noise level reduction once the airflow is better distributed through the frame. Motor feet are solid providing a more resistant structure against vibration. The frame design has also points that can be used as provisions for vibration sensors as a standard feature.
Benefits from the new frame design:
- Motor temperature reduction.
- Eyebolts repositioned - easier handling in the application.
- Provision for vibration sensors - frame and endshields with provisions 90° displaced according to maintenance technical recommendations. Easier and more reliable vibration analysis.
- Solid feet - Enhanced resistance when operating at high vibration application and also provide easier alignment on installation.
extends motor lifetime when operating in aggressive environments by protecting the motor against water and dust guaranteeing proper degree of protection.
