Baldor servo motors cope with high-pressure washdown
Baldor has launched a range of brushless servo motors optimised for clean environments. Believed to be the first 'washdown duty' servo motors on the market, the range is known as the WBSM Series.
A white epoxy coating, stainless steel hardware and shaft extension, premium moisture-resistant wire, a weld-sealed stator stack, special shaft seals, O-rings and double-sealed bearings all combine to give maximum protection.
Together, these features prevent water and cleaning agents from entering the housings. The maintenance-free brushless design and thermal cut-out switch also mean that the motors offer high reliability for extended lifecycles in harsh environments.
