Vacuum pumps can benefit from smaller
motors
AEG Electric Motors is introducing a new single-phase motor for the drive of small, oil-lubricated slide vane rotary vacuum pumps that enables motors to be downsized - with corresponding benefits.
AEG Electric Motors is introducing a new single-phase motor for the drive of small, oil-lubricated slide vane rotary vacuum pumps that provides the manufacturer with a technically improved and cost-efficient solution to its cold-start condition requirements Because oil is more viscous at lower temperatures, conventional single-phase motors using centrifugal switching or relay devices have been sized for the worst-case cold-start condition

New range of aluminium induction motors introduced
Available in frame sizes 63-180 and powers 0.12-30kW, the new AEG Electric Motors aluminium induction motor range has improved efficiencies and now complies with the CEMEP Eff 1 category
As the pump starts, the oil heats up, typically from 100C to 400C, reducing the running torque requirements on the motor.
The AEG solution optimises the switching from start to run condition by allowing for the temperature of the oil into its circuitry.
This refinement allows the motor's active-material to be re-sized for the running condition rather than just the cold-start.
The result is a more compact motor design which brings down cost, a smoother current/speed curve and a quieter operation.
Another demand from the industry has been the requirement for multi-voltage inputs for global markets.
The new motors from AEG have a voltage selection in the range 100-120/200-240V in frequencies of 50-60Hz.
Current development has been in the power range 0.37 - 0.75kW but larger models are being considered.
