Nidec expands TITAN motor line with new frame sizes and 2-pole extension

Nidec U.S. MOTORS has expanded its TITAN motor line with two additional weather-protected vertical frame sizes and a new totally enclosed fan-cooled 2-pole model. The new manufacturing process for the frames enables faster production. TITAN motors are used in applications such as water and wastewater systems, petroleum, chemical processing and electric power.

The new Weather Protected I (WPI) and Weather Protected II (WPII) 6810 and 6811 frame vertical motors are available in both HOLLOSHAFT and solid shaft constructions. While maintaining the high thrust capability of its legacy U.S. MOTORS brand TITAN I 6800 frame vertical motors, the two new frames include a dedicated normal thrust design that uses grease-lubricated ball bearings.

Nidec’s new Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC) 6800/7000/450 frame horizontal 2-pole motor is available in antifriction ball bearing and RENK sleeve bearing.

The new 6800 vertical motor frames are made from cast iron rather than fabricated steel, allowing the winding and frame assembly processes to take place at the same time instead of sequentially. This change reduces production time and supports faster delivery to customers. Additionally, the TITAN II 6800 frame features a new size 3.5 cast iron main conduit box with a volume of 6,440 cubic inches, along with optional internal shaft ground ring and/or brush mounting on the lower bearing cap.

The TITAN 6800/7000/450 frame horizontal motor offering has increased the U.S. MOTORS brand max 2-pole horsepower from 800HP to 1100HP. This new line of TITAN TEFC 2-pole motors is available in two different frame lengths and three different shaft heights resulting in 6808, 6809, 7007, 7008, 450ALM and 450BAL frame sizes. Each frame size is tri-drilled for the rated frame size and two frames smaller for ease of field matching of existing motors needing replaced.

These new TITAN products are manufactured and assembled in Mena, Arkansas.
