A robot includes a plurality of motors that drive respective joint shafts and gas-tight chambers in which the motors are disposed. The robot is placed in a second ambience, and at least one of the joint shafts is provided with a hollow motor integrated with a reduction gear.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a housing (1) for an electrical operating means such as a light, plug-in device, measuring instrument, switch, distributor, or the like, having at least one first and one second housing part (2,3) that can be assembled with one another in an explosion-proof fashion. Each housing part has one joining surface (4,5); when the housing parts are assembled, said joining surfaces are in contact with one another, forming a penetration-proof gap (6). In order to provide a novel structure of joining surfaces by means of which a corresponding penetration-proof gap is formed independently of the cross-sectional shape of the housing parts and to be able to substantially unite the advantages of both joining surfaces and the housing mentioned above, the joining surfaces run substantially perpendicular relative to the rest of the housing parts and surface profiles (7, 8) are formed in said joining surfaces, the penetration-proof gap being formed between said surface profiles.

A hydrogen cooled generator assembly includes a hydrogen cooled generator and a fundament, wherein the generator is mounted on the fundament, and wherein the fundament includes at least one cavity underneath the generator. The at least one cavity includes at least one terminal box disposed adjacent to the generator and extending downward from the generator for collection of a plurality of electrical links from the generator; at least one collection box disposed beneath the at least one terminal box having a top wall and a first and a second side wall and configured to guide the plurality of electrical links from the at least one terminal box in a further downward direction; a lateral space; and a seal plate covering the lateral space at an upper end of the lateral space.
Abstract:
A System and Method for Explosion-Proof Pump is provided comprising a component being mated to an adjacent component by sealing means. An embodiment provides that the component is a switch housing having a cavity formed therein. A switch is secured in the cavity and the adjacent component is selected from the group access plate and motor housing.
Abstract:
An electric motor has at least one component that is submerged in a cooling fluid held in a fluid-filled cavity. The stator, rotor, and rotor shaft bearings are all possible components that may be submerged. The cooling fluid floods the stator, rotor, and/or bearings to cool the components. The fluid may have a high electrical resistance to isolate the motor components from any contact with flammable gasses as well as prevent arcs or sparks. The cavity holding the fluid also ensures continuous lubrication by preventing fluid from leaking or evaporating out of the motor.
Abstract:
A braking device for equipment driven by an electric motor, in particular by an explosion-proof electric motor, is described. The casing of the device is separate from the frame of the electric motor and means are provided for connecting during rotation the rotating shaft to a shaft driven by an electric motor.
Abstract:
A novel explosion-proof motor, which, in certain embodiments, features a housing with flame paths between various joints in the housing. These flame paths may contain and cool hot gases and flames produced by a detonation within the housing. In certain embodiments, the explosion-proof motor includes a stator having a plurality of laminations and an end ring. The end ring may have a generally circumferential surface to interface with other components of the housing. The explosion-proof motor may also include an end-bracket having a second generally circumferential surface configured to mate with the end ring. The mating circumferential surfaces of the end-ring and the end-bracket may form a flame path to prevent the propagation of an internal detonation.
Abstract:
The enclosure of the stator of an electric machine for an integrated compressor drive should be improved. To this end, the winding heads (4) of the stator (2) are embedded in a solid structure on which the enclosure (6) is supported. The structure is preferably made of a potting compound (5) in which additives for increasing the thermal conductivity are introduced. A film (6) serving as a chemical barrier is thus supported pressure-resistant in the outer area on the potting compound (5) and in the inner area on the lamination stack (3) of the stator (2). As a result, the need for complex pressure enclosures in the air-gap area can be eliminated.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to dissipation of shaft charge. According to an exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides a charge-dissipating device that includes a dissipation member disposed in an explosion-proof enclosure. When mounted to a rotatable shaft of an electric motor, for example, the dissipation member is configured to generally abut against the rotatable shaft. The dissipation member dissipates shaft-charge developed in the rotatable shaft during operation of the motor. By dissipating shaft charge, the likelihood of arcing and/or bearing current (Ib) occurrences are reduced or eliminated. In accordance with another exemplary embodiment, a transmission member is configured to impart a voltage signal onto the shaft.

Abstract:
The present invention is a electronic motor control apparatus designed for use in hazardous/classified environments, such as described in Article 500, Section 500.7 of the NFPA 70/National Electrical Code. The invention comprises a third party approved (i.e., UL Listed, UL Classified, CSA Certified, FM Approved, CE Approved) explosion-proof outer shell of aluminum, an interior controller, and a plurality of conductive plates to carry heat away from the interior controller to the external shell and environment. The controller may be an inverter or a solid-state device, and may be capable of variable frequency and voltage output. Interior and/or exterior cooling devices, such as fans, may be attached or adjacent to the apparatus to assist in heat dispersal. Interior air circulating booster fans may be installed inside the apparatus to increase internal air film coefficient, thus providing a maximized heat dissipative atmosphere. Exterior cooling devices rated to the area may be used to assist with maintaining the external air film coefficient and/or maximizing the thermal capabilities of the environment surrounding subject enclosure.
