The vertical gearmotor-VGM, is a highly efficient drive package for low-speed vertical pumping applications with high power requirements. This product is built on a standard low pole count motor platform, utilizing proven, highly efficient Dodge planetary gear technology. The VGM offers significant benefits, especially compared with common pump drive technologies that utilize large pole count motors, which can be large, expensive, and often result in a drastic reduction in efficiency and power factor.
VGM benefits versus high pole vertical motors:
- Higher efficiency with low pole induction motors
- Better power factor with low pole induction motors
- Optimized pump speeds through gear rations for system efficiency
- Smaller physical size reduces facility requirements
- Less weight reduces freight, handling and support structure costs
- Easy to maintain
