Vertical Motors
The vertically installed electric motor is a specialized type of motor used in applications where the motor must be mounted vertically. Such motors find common use in many pump applications, especially when the pumps are for deep wells and water treatment, and are also found in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, and other industrial processes wherein vertical space optimization is vital. These types of motors handle the thrust load that comes from the impellers in the pump to ensure not just adequate but also reliable system performance. They do this while providing power to the impellers at optimal levels—both axially and radially.
There are several ways to configure vertical motors, but two basic designs predominate: hollow shaft and solid shaft. Both types of motors are used in many different applications—aerospace, automotive, pharmaceuticals, food processing—wherever a motor is needed to drive something. Whether an application requires a hollow-shaft or solid-shaft motor often boils down to how the pump's shaft must connect to and operate within the motor.
