Irrigation

These motors are configured for either vertical or horizontal applications based on pump requirements & system configuration.

Our motors designed for irrigation are typically cooled using air-to-air or air-to-water methods with heat exchangers mounted based on specific requirements. Coolers are designed for easy dismantling and assembly, facilitating cleaning and logistical convenience.

For large vertical machines with significant thrust, TDPS manufactures thrust and radial bearings designed for easy maintenance. Smaller machines use anti-friction bearings for both vertical and horizontal applications, typically with grease lubrication.

Stator bodies are fabricated with weld-type construction, emphasizing effective cooling paths, torsional rigidity, and a flat foot or flange mount design. Shafts are specially forged and constructed with heat-treated carbon steel to meet torsional and fatigue requirements. Stator and rotor use electrolytic grade copper to ensure desired efficiencies.

Vertical motors often feature flywheels for braking applications and are equipped with hydraulic or pneumatic brakes. Motors are designed to go beyond the rated speed, and some may include non-reversible ratchet arrangements to prevent pump rotation in reverse and sustain high torques.

Our motor starting configurations depend on valve conditions, either for minimal torque requirements with shut valves or high torque starting with open valves, employing DOL, VFC, or SFC starting based on motor type or application.
