TECO-Westinghouse Direct Current (DC) motors are ideally suited to a multitude of industrial and marine applications in which high torque and variable speeds are required. These applications include ship propulsion, mine hoists and steel rolling mills. They also drive many other types of industrial equipment such as fan drives, Banbury mixers and extruders.
To meet the needs of a broad range of applications, our rugged DC motors are available in sizes ranging from 22-inch to 12-foot armature diameters, with available power ratings from 250 hp to over 35,000 hp.
