For Unequalled Dielectric Strength and Voltage Endurance

Thermalastic® is a proprietary, integrated insulation system that impregnates the wound and connected stator with a solventless epoxy resin. Developed by Westinghouse over 40 years ago, Thermalastic® is acknowledged as the industry’s premier insulation system and is under continuous development to maintain its position as the world’s finest.

Mica is the heart of the Thermalastic® insulation system and is applied to all of the stator coils. The form-wound stator is postimpregnated with epoxy resin in a vacuum pressure tank and then transferred to an oven for polymerization. The cycle is repeated to ensure elimination of corona generating voids. The result is a stator insulation system that withstands prolonged voltage stresses moisture, dirt, thermal cycling and chemical contaminants.

The bearing system used in World Series™ Motors has been designed and engineered for continuous, reliable performance and easy maintenance. Both anti-friction and split-sleeve bearings are offered. When required, bearing insulation can be added to either bearing type.

Our split-sleeve bearings are spherically seated and self aligning, thus easy to service in all field conditions. They also feature a high-tin content babbitt material and a heavy-duty, two-piece bronze oil ring. The oil ring lubrication process is easily modified for flood lubrication.

This bearing unit employs a sophisticated sealing system that is designed to prevent oil leakage along the shaft. An optional buffered seal can be provided when pressurization is required to keep hostile environments from entering the bearing.

The bearings can be inspected visually through an oil ring sight gauge and an oil level sight gauge on the housing. Bearing caps can be removed easily for bearing inspection without uncoupling the motor from the driven machine. No special tools are required for the inspection procedure.

Other types of bearings are available including:

  • Deep Groove
  • Angular Contact
  • Spherical Roller
  • Hydrodynamic

World Series™ Motors use box frame construction to provide frames that have the mechanical strength and stability to assure years of dependable, economical performance.

The fabricated steel frames are braced by heavy steel plate bulkheads and end plates to make the frames both laterally and torsionally stable. End brackets are reinforced to give the bearings rigid support and to minimize vibration. Located in line with the end of the frame, the bearing housing provides maximum bearing stiffness. Overall frame strength also minimizes vibration and virtually eliminates the need for realignment.

TECO-Westinghouse induction motor rotors are recognized as the most reliable in the industry, and their high performance standards are a hallmark of the World Series™ Motors.

The rotors advanced design features and rugged construction begin with single-piece laminations that help prevent motor shifting and vibration.

Rotor cores are held together by heavy-duty through-bolts and end plates. Core mechanical integrity does not rely on any electrically active component. Rotor bars and end rings are copper or copper alloy. Copper is the time-proven choice for rotor construction because it provides maximum performance and reliability.

Swaged rotor bars ensure long motor life by minimizing the movement and vibration that can cause bar fatigue and failure. End rings are centrifugally cast for a void-free cross section and purity, and they are joined to the bars by high-frequency induction brazing to reduce stresses and hot spots in the joint, which can cause fatigue and failure.
