Product Description
The 2AD132C-B05OA1-BS03 is manufactured by Rexroth Bosch. One significant feature is the Squirrel cage rotor. The name of the squirrel cage was derived from the form of the rotor that looks like a cage. This type of motor is widely applied in numerous industries due to its stability in operation, long service life and versatility. In a squirrel cage rotor, the rotor is formed from conductive bars of aluminum or copper, short-circuited by ring-shaped brass. This offers a cylindrical geometric form that resembles a cage of a squirrel. The stator is the non-rotating part of the motor that produces a revolving magnetic field. The phenomenon of eddy current is utilized where the magnetic field is established in the surface of the rotor's conductive bars and causes motion. The stator has a revolving magnetic field, while the rotor rotates slightly slower.
Asynchronous motors are preferred especially due to their inherent low maintenance and high efficiency thus giving them a competitive edge as used in many industries. These motors are commonly used in industrial applications where the exact speed is not required, but smooth running is vital.
Squirrel cage rotors are used in pumps and fans to supply power to these systems to enable their operation with efficiency. They are also used in a conveyor that employs motors that are expected to run for many hours without stopping. Furthermore, squirrel cage rotors are used in HVAC systems, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning due to their ability to provide a consistent drive for the motor. To sum it up, squirrel cage rotors are important components in asynchronous motors which are widely used in different industries. Their construction is plain and rugged making it ideal for challenging industrial applications.
