What are single-phase gearmotors and what does their treatment consist of

According to the number of power phases used by electric motors to provide energy, we can distinguish between single-phase, two-phase and three-phase motors that have different powers to power a wide variety of machines and tools.

When we talk about single-phase gearmotors we refer to motors that transform electrical energy into mechanical energy through single-phase electrical power.

That is to say, the The wiring of the part consists only of two wires that operate with a potential of up to 3Kw. This main characteristic means that they are used to a large extent for minimum powers, unlike other electric motors that have a higher voltage.

However, today there are certain single-phase motors whose power can reach up to 10 hp and operate using a 440V connection. Beyond power, always require the use of a capacitor to start due to the impossibility of creating a rotating magnetic field since they only do so through an alternate field.

Uses of single-phase gearmotors and possible problems

Los single-phase gearmotors are recommended for basic electrical uses. For this reason, they are usually used in applications where the Power supply occurs directly between the equipment and the network such as in homes, commercial stores, small companies that do not work with large machines such as refrigerators and commercial cold displays, offices, among others.

Among the most common uses of this type of engine We can highlight the appliances, the commercial refrigerationThe homely one, the heating and ventilation, the opening and closing systems in Doors of Parking, utensils or electrical tools used in everyday life such as hammers, drills and others.

On the other hand, its use is recommended for systematic and continuous work Since they don't have internal brushes What if wear out easily due to normal friction of the parts as is usually the case with other mechanical parts.

While the single-phase gearmotors have their problems like any other type of gearmotor, it is important to note that they are easy to repair and care for, in addition to being very affordable. The most common problems that occur are:

• Wear/breakage of the gear teeth of the kinematic chain.
• Passage shaft hole wear, making it larger and producing a game in the movement of the gears.
• Engine malfunction due to some Electrical fault.
• Lack of lubrication or use of inappropriate lubricants.
• Noise due to deformations in the gears or their poor manufacturing.

CLR experience in single-phase gearmotors and success stories

In CLR We have four decades of experience and work making single-phase motors to find the perfect movement and power that are adapted to the specific demands of each of the businesses managed by our clients.

Our objective is the development of precision single-phase gearmotors and parts that adapt perfectly to small dimensions under the most demanding current quality standards.

Among our success stories We can highlight a developed project per a renowned company in the hospitality sector dedicated to the manufacture and sale of machines with a 25-year history, he had problems related to the supply of orders to your customers in terms of lack of time and delay in deliveries.

In addition, theThe machinery was exposed to degradation and wear as a result of the high temperatures to which it is continuously subjected by the proximity.

El The challenge consisted of increase mechanical strength of equipment at high temperatures, using specific lubricants and motors with thermal protection.

The result was a safety system based on temperature control that prevented engine failure and timely supply, which affected the company so much.

Meet another project, The one that our work has been working on team of engineers, to improve the system of density control for slushies and coolers. and thus, offer more machines Efficient, reliable and quiet.
