The Baldor-Reliance direct drive motors are synchronous PM motors that use laminated finned frame construction to provide a highly efficient power dense package with flange mounting dimensions that can replace the right angle gearbox and jack shaft installation in many conventional cooling towers. This same technology is offered in conventional, yet power dense, foot mounted designs that can replace the belt and sheave application where more vertical mounting space is available. Derived from one of the toughest motor platforms used in the most demanding industrial applications, Baldor-Reliance direct drive motors are the right solution for operation inside the tower’s hot and humid environment. Direct drives are ideal for cooling towers, air cooled condensers and air cooled heat exchangers.
