Baldor-Reliance industrial electric motors are available for most general purpose applications and processes. However, some AC Variable Speed applications require high performance capabilities including constant torque down to zero speed, wide constant horsepower range, high response applications that require low inertia rotors, or high speed capabilities. The RPM AC motor is most suitable for tough variable speed industrial applications where high performance, and power density (compact size and weight) is most important. RPM AC laminated frame motors are available in both standard induction and ultra high-density Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) versions.
Features:
- Extensive HP range (up to 1750Hp or 1305kW)
- Square laminated steel frame
- Wide CT (constant torque) speed range is standard; wide CHP (constant Hp) is available
- Power Density: up to 3 frame sizes smaller than traditional AC motors
- IPM rotor design delivers IE5 level efficiency
- Corona free insulation Class H
- Optimum pole design
- Thermal Protection 3 N.C. thermostats (1 per Phase)
- Integral shaft grounding brush included as standard
- Insulated bearing on ODE (RL5800 offers insulated bearing on both ends)
- PLS (Positive lubrication system)
- Wide variety of enclosures (DPFV, TEBC, TEAO-PB, TENV, TEFC)
- Oversize, rotatable mill conduit boxes
- Quick ship program available thru web-based configurator
- Provisions for ABB Ability condition monitoring
- QR code on nameplate for motor details and drive set-up information
Common Industries:
- Steel mill
- Pulp & paper
- Oil and gas
- Plastic and rubber
- Converting
- Automotive
- Class 1 Division 2 hazardous locations
Common Applications:
- DC replacement
- LAC replacement
- Center wider
- Roll-out tables and pick duty lines
- Extruders
- Crane and hoist
- Oil drilling
- Test stands low/high speed
- Tension reels
- Traction motor

As we began 2022, global material shortages and rapidly increasing costs have now become the new reality. The types of materials that have suddenly become difficult to procure are wide-ranging and include computer chips for automotive manufacturing, wood for new construction, and electrical components – just to name a few.
These shortages have created great uncertainty, which is reflected in a recent poll of contractors in the U.S. by the Chamber of Commerce. They reported:
- •83% are experiencing product delays.
- •71% are struggling to meet schedule requirements.
- •68% are experiencing delays expected into 2023.
- •58% are putting in higher bids on projects.
- •53% are saying major project shutdowns/delays are a top concern.
- •41% are saying material shortages continue.
- •39% are turning down work opportunities.
One of the major material components that affect the cost and availability of wire and cable is copper. This widely used metal, which traditionally has been a volatile commodity, has been steadily increasing in price, which is due to several supply and demand issues.

Omron Whitepaper - MVRC: Mark, Verify, Read and Communicate
Utopias are common in fiction, from Plato’s The Republic to The Federation in Star Trek. For manufacturers, a world without unplanned downtime would be the perfect utopia. The question is, is abolishing unplanned downtime a far-fetched dream, or is it closer than we think? Here, Jonathan Wilkins, marketing director of obsolete industrial equipment supplier, EU Automation shares his vision for a downtime free age.
According to research by Oneserve, machine downtime is costing British manufacturers over £180 billion a year. Unplanned downtime halts production, but can also lead to wasted raw materials or damage to the system itself – amplifying the cost beyond loss of production. Further research conducted by GE Digital found that 70 per cent of companies lack full awareness of when equipment is due for maintenance, upgrade or repair..
