Motor/gearbox

P is the impeller power requirement, i.e it represents the rate of energy dissipation within the liquid. The electrical power required to drive the motor will exceed P by the motor, gearbox, and bearing losses. 

It must be borne in mind that the power requirement which is calculated from power curves gives a measure of the energy dissipated within the liquid. It does not give any indication of whether or not this power is dissipated effectively. Furthermore, it does not contain the losses which occur in the motor/gearbox/ bearings which must be considered in sizing the drive unit. 

Mechanical Vapor Compression Scaling and acid treatment problems can also occur. The mechanical compressor and its motor, gearbox, and lubrication system require considerable maintenance.

An extruder is a complex device used in plastics plants. It is composed of a heated jacket, set of screws or screw, heated die, large motor, gearbox, and pelletizer. The extruder melts a polypropylene granule mixture to encapsulate additives, quickly quenches it, and cuts it into small pellets that are easier to handle. A simple plastics system includes equipment for extrusion, molding, casting, laminating, and calendering.

The last variation of the basic lead screw drive model considered here is shown in Fig. 5.7. In this configuration, the lead screw is fixed in place and the nut rotates, causing it to translate along the lead screw together with other moving parts (i.e., motor, gearbox, payload, etc.). The equation of motion of this system is also given by (5.18). 

Figure 9.8 shows the 3-DOF model of the parameter identification test setup. Similar to the system in Fig. 9.7, the model consists of three parts, i.e., DC motor, gearbox, and lead screw mechanism. These parts are connected to each other via couplings with torsional compliance.
