Mounting, drive motor

Small batch retorts, heated electrically or hy combustion, are widely used as carburizing furnaces and are applicable also to chemic processes involving the heat treating of particulate sohds. These are mounted on a structural-steel base, complete with cyhnder, furnace, drive motor, burner, etc. Units are commercially av able in diameters from 0.24 to 1.25 m and lengths of 1 to 2 m. Continuous retorts with helical internal spirals are employed for metal-heat-treating purposes. Precise retention control is maintained in these operations. Standard diameters are 0.33, 0.5, and 0.67 m with effec tive lengths up... 

One of the critical measurements is torque or shaft power. A variety of methods is recognized direct methods such as torque meters or reaction mounted drivers (dynamometers) and indirect methods such as electrical power input to drive motors, heat balance, or heat input to a loop cooler. See Part 7, Measurement of Shaft Power, PTC 19.7 1961 [3] for additional information. 

Large towers often have the motor mounted horizontally connected to a right angle gear drive. The motor can be closely coupled- in the air stream- or connected with a drive shaft with the motor outside the air stream. Maintenance personnel typically prefer the external TEFC motor- when available- for its easier access. Cooling tower fans- like all fans- operate in accordance with the fan laws one of which states that the horsepower required to drive a fan increases to the cube of fan speed. 

Chain Tension. All chain drives should have some means of controlling the chain sag caused by normal joint wear. This is of utmost importance when the drive is subject to shock or pulsating loads or to reversals in direction of rotation. The most common methods taking up chain slack are (1) drive units mounted on adjustable base plat, slide rails, or similar units these are used extensively in motor-driven applications and (2) the use of adjustable idlers (Figure 3-40) and chain tensioners. 

The holder for the work piece or pieces consists essentially of a metal rack or jig, on which the articles can be held by means of clips or other such accessories it may be used stationary, or in more elaborate forms with rotary or planetary movement in such cases the drive is by means of an electric motor mounted externally on the chamber, with the shaft led into the chamber through a vacuum-tight seal. Planetary movement of the work holder in particular requires further description typically, the articles are clipped to individual cages (called planets ), which are attached to the main frame of the holder. The frame is driven and by means of gearing and inter-connecting drive chains the planets in turn can be made to rotate in a selected ratio to their speed of rotation (the usual ranges of ratios are from 5 1 to 10 1). 

Another type of batch centrifuge is driven from the bottom, with the drive motor, basket, and casing all suspended from vertical legs mounted on a base...

Nuclear Reactor with a Hole in the Head On March 6,2002, personnel repairing one of the five cracked control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) nozzles at Davis-Besse Nuclear Plant, Oak Harbor, Ohio, discovered extensive damage to the reactor vessel head. The reactor vessel head is a dome-shaped structure made from carbon steel housing the reactor core. The reactor vessel head is placed such that it can be removed when the reactor is shut down to allow spent nuclear fuel to be replaced with fresh fuel. The CRDM nozzles connect motors mounted on a platform above the reactor vessel head to control rods inside the reactor vessel. Reactor operators withdraw control rods from the reactor core to start the operation of the plant and insert the control rods to shut down the operation of the reactor. 

The wheelhead carries the wheel spindle, which is mounted in precision bearings. The complete grinding-wheel collet assembly is fitted on a taper on the end of the spindle. Drive to the spindle is by vee belt and pulley from the motor mounted in the bottom of the column. 

The temperature of these 4 driving motors are presented with bilateral symmetry, front-rear unevenly distribution pattern which can be seen from the simulation results (Table 4). This is because the symmetrical layout of the pipe to the motor, the same flow resistance of branch pipe and the same water flow capacity. So, the cooling water temperature and end-winding temperature is the same for the two side motors. However, the flow resistance of the water channel is caused by the friction loss and local loss of the pipe, for the long distance of pipe from water tank to the motors mounted on the rear body of ADT, the flow resistance of rear branch is higher than the front branch. The flow of the rear branch pipeline will be small than the front branch which will cause the temperature of the two rear motors are higher than that of front motors. 

The motors mounted on the front wheel of ADT are close to the cooling tank which is connected with the diesel engine water tank. Fixed the diameter of pipeline to the motor 2, the flow distribution of these two motors can be optimized by increasing the diameter of pipeline to the motor 1. The Flow distributed to the driving motor 1 and 2 can be seen in Figure 13. The x-axis in Figure 13 represents the diameter difference of the pipehnes which connected to the motor 1 and 2 respectively. 

BMW ActiveE was presented at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show. It is a zero-emission 1-Series powered by an electric motor. Based on the same principles as Mini E, BMW ActiveE is a front-drive vehicle with an electric motor mounted on the rear axle. It uses two different lithium-ion battery packs, as shown in Eigure 10.17 the first in the traditional area of the fuel tank (rear module) and the second replacing the distribution system (tunnel module). 

With regard to stressing of the tank, it has to support the inner rotating drum which may contain up to 30 kg washing/water, carry concrete counterbalance weights (16 kg and 9 kg), and also have mounted on it the main drive motor, heater element, and thermostat. Inlet and outlet hoses are also connected to the tank.
