Nidec Motor Corporation Introduces New U.S. MOTORS Brand Cast Iron 6813 Frame Vertical Motor

All cast iron frame simplifies construction and shortens delivery time to end users

Nidec Motor Corporation (NMC) recently unveiled the U.S. MOTORS brand cast iron frame 6813 vertical motor, designed for applications in the water/wastewater, mining, and oil and gas industries.

The new frame construction, built with higher horsepower ratings, delivers a motor with less design variation and one which produces consistent performance. Constructed in a single piece frame along with cast iron upper and lower brackets, the easy assembly ensures a more robust and reliable motor and a shorter lead time for end users. Additionally, some of the current 8000 frame ratings will now be produced in the new 6813 frame size. This feature gives end users a high horsepower motor with a smaller footprint.

“The benefit of a cast iron frame compared to a welded fabricated sheet metal frame is a motor with fewer components that can cause variations in performance. The cast iron frame is a single piece which makes assembly much easier,” said Patrick Hogg, NMC Product Manager.

The ability to increase horsepower ratings in a smaller footprint is another benefit of the new 6813 frame motor. “The newly designed cooling air intake provides more efficient cooling, so we are able to pack more horsepower into a smaller frame,” Hogg said.

The 6813 is manufactured and assembled in Mena, Arkansas and is now available for quotations. For more information about U.S. MOTORS brand vertical motors for the water/wastewater, and oil and gas industries, visit www.usmotors.com.
