ABB: Vertical gearmotor VGM

June 27, 2019

The vertical gearmotor-VGM, is a highly efficient drive package for low-speed vertical pumping applications with high power requirements. The VGM is built on a standard low pole count motor platform, utilizing proven, highly efficient Dodge planetary gear technology. Compared with common pump drive technologies, which can be large, expensive and inefficent, the VGM offers significant benefits.

Features

  • The Dodge Vertical Gearmotor has a smaller footprint and is lighter than traditional pump drive systems. Weight differential depends on the application, but is typically 10% to 30% less. This reduces support structure and facility costs.
  • The ability to use a lower pole count motor offers a significant cost savings opportunity over high pole count motors. The use of standard 4-6 pole motors increases availability.
  • Utilizing the reducer to accommodate thrust loading is more cost effective than designing this functionality into the motor.
  • Where an anti-rotation device is required, it is easily incorporated into the Vertical Gearmotor configuration.
  • Higher Efficiency and Power Factor
  • Optimal Pump Shaft Speed

Common Applications

  • Pumping applications

Common Industries

  • Chemical, Oil, and Gas
  • Water and Wastewater

5 Things to Know About IE5 SynRM Motors

 

Let ABB start at the beginning. What difference does the efficiency of an electric motor make to you and why should you care? The answer is that by using less energy we can help prevent climate change. Today, 45% of all electricity is converted into motion by motors in buildings and industrial applications. And generating electricity causes a significant amount of CO2 emissions, which cause global warming. So, if we want to reduce emissions and stop global warming, making motors more efficient is one of the best places to start. And in the world of motors, IE5 synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM motors) are the very best place to start.
