Learning how to decrease oil changes can be time- and money-saving. Oil life can be long if contamination is eliminated, which is easier said than done. This infographic details how improved vertical labyrinth technology keeps oil in and contaminants out. In addition it shows how to decrease oil changes with this technology.
TECO-Westinghouse experience assures superior performance and reliability For over a century, Westinghouse has been the pacesetter in the design and production of electric machines for heavy industry. This tradition is carried forward by TECO-Westinghouse Motor Company. Their engineering, design expertise, rigorous quality control, and testing procedures ensure the superior performance and unsurpassed reliability of each machine. […]
J. Hilbert Anderson, President of Coupling Corporation of America, discusses some of the reasons why FLEXXORs are designed differently from all other flexible couplings, and why they have such an excellent record for solving difficult drive problems. In recent years, many new demands have been made on flexible shaft couplings. Years ago, most centrifugal compressor […]
What is a drive? A variable speed drive – also known as a variable frequency drive, VSD, VFD or inverter (hereafter referred to as a “drive”) – controls the speed and torque of an electric motor (in this case, an AC motor) by controlling the motor’s terminal voltage. A drive sits between the electrical supply […]
Handles Abrasives and Low-to-High Viscosity Fluids From drinking water to highly viscous cutting fluids, Hydra-Cell pumps handle the full spectrum of process fluids while maintaining high-efficiency operation. This includes non-lubricating fluids as well as difficult fluids with abrasives that can damage or destroy other types of pumps. This makes Hydra-Cell an ideal choice in a […]
Whether your application requires a 250 horsepower motor, a 30,000 horsepower motor, or anything in between, look to World Series® motors for the utmost in value and performance. World Series® motors are a top-quality line of induction motors that are distinguished by higher efficiencies, advanced software design capabilities, metric frame sizes and TECO-Westinghouse’s reputation for […]
Recent research has shown that a commonly used method to estimate transient pipe forces does not reliably yield conservative predictions. As the topic of transient compressible flow is quite complex, engineers should be very cautious in applying simple algebraic formulas to estimate loads for design use. With that caution in mind, some engineers would still […]
Discharge recirculation occurs when a pump is operating significantly away from its best efficiency point (BEP). The BEP is the operating point at which the angle of the flow most closely matches the impeller and diffuser/volute vane geometry. The close correspondence of the fluid angle and fixed vane angle at this point produces the least […]
TWMC marine application motors are specifically designed to meet IEC 60034-18-41/42 and can be used with any quality adjustable frequency drive. These motor designs also meet any of the major marine classification specifications, including ABS, DNV, LLOYDS, etc.

One of the key assumptions in modern steam hammer load analysis is based on an incomplete understanding of steam wave behavior. Compression waves generated after a valve closure steepen much more quickly than previously thought. The resulting forces generated on pipe runs separated by elbows can be significantly higher than those predicted using current methods. […]
