Electric Motors

An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, typically through electromagnetic phenomena. The most commonly used motor in industrial applications is the three-phase induction motor. TECO offers motors with a range of phases, voltages, and power options. 

A low-voltage motor operates at a rated voltage of less than 1000V, while motors with a voltage of 1000V or higher are classified as high-voltage motors. In industrial settings, AC motors are the preferred choice due to their reliability and cost-effectiveness.

While other motor types, such as servo motors and synchronous motors, are used for specific applications, three-phase electric motors, including the TECO MAXe3, TECO IE2, and TECO Te3 remain essential for industrial operations. Their ability to deliver consistent power and high torque makes them ideal for demanding applications.

Yes, TECO offers in-house modification capabilities through their Mod Shop which is fully authorised to manufacture specific types of hazardous area motors. These custom solutions can be fine-tuned to your specific needs with the goal of delivering optimal performance for your applications.

  1. Start by determining whether your application requires a low, medium or high voltage motor.
  2. Next, consider your efficiency needs. If energy conservation and lower operational costs are important considerations, opt for a high-efficiency motor.
  3. Now, access your environmental conditions. If your application is within a hazardous environment, you’ll need to select a motor designed and certified for such conditions.
  4. Remember to take into account various performance characteristics. If your application demands flexibility in design, the TECO Open Drip Proof motors offer that but if you have space limitations, then the TECO AFJN MAXe3 Mining is a good alternative.
  5. If your needs are unique, explore our in-house modification capabilities for custom solutions.
