Universal Motor (UM) in Customized Housing

This customer is a quality-conscious provider of insulation, fire, and sound products. Their product is sold through major home centers, building supply retailers and lumberyards

The Challenge

This customer was experiencing failures with motors in their insulation blowers after less than 20 hours of operation.  Groschopp was charged with not only refining the motor specification and coming up with a completely new design, but designing to an existing installation limitation and tight deadlines.

The Solution

• PQ Frame UM Motor with a special housing
• Re-use of proven steel core commutator technology designed for another OEM
• Special-design extruded housing to retrofit new motor to existing system design
