Features | Customer benefits |
Wide speed control range with constant power rating (field weakening) | Optimum adaptation to the torque and speed requirements of the rolling process |
Overload capability up to 275% of the rated torque: minimum speed changes – also for maximum load changes (e.g. for the load impact of heavy passes) | Sufficient power reserves for process tolerances and the ability to add new steel types to the range. |
Low moment of inertia, e.g. for reversing motors | Short reversing times for a high throughput, high control quality in the drive train |
Slip-ring excitation | Power reserves for high throughput. Constant tension over the complete speed range, outstanding control dynamic performance secures consistently high quality of the rolled material |
Pedestal bearings for high power ratings: can withstand axial surge loads of up to 700 tons | Absorbs the axial forces of gearless rolling stands even in fault situations |
Rugged technology with a long service life, proven Micalastic insulation system, cylindrical rotor | Continuous disturbance-free motor operation guarantees the highest degree of availability of the complete plant |
Compact, material-optimized motor design | Low capital investment, lower lifecycle costs |
Adapted to address customer requirements: e.g. existing foundations | Cost/time saving for retrofits ensures a fast payback time of the investment |
Drive system and plant solution possible | Everything from a single source from sector experts, no unnecessary interfaces, high reliability through components that are harmonized and coordinated with one another |
Large installed base – more than 3300 rolling mill motors worldwide | Process know-how secures high-quality, competent service from Siemens head office or a Siemens partner close to you |
