A vertical motor has thrust bearings, except in the case of some close-coupled pumps; a horizontal motor rarely does. Typically a vertical motor is used to drive a pump and will have a P-base mount without feet. A horizontal motor may have a footed or footless mount with a C or D flange, or no flange.
What is a vertical motor?
Vertical motors are directly connected to the equipment they drive. Because these are designed to take high loading in the axial direction, but little in the radial direction, they are exclusively mounted in a vertical position on their flanged base.
What is a bearing on a motor?
The purpose of a bearing in an electric motor is to support and locate the rotor, to keep the air gap small and consistent and transfer the loads from the shaft to the motor. The bearings should be able to operate at low and high speeds whilst minimizing frictional loses.
What is a radial bearing?
Radial ball bearings are designed to withstand forces that are perpendicular to the direction of the shaft, or radial loads. Some ball bearings are able to withstand a radial and axial load applied on the shaft, these combined axial/radial load bearings are achieved by axial angular contact.
What are bearing and its types?
Type Description
----------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plain bearing Rubbing surfaces, usually with lubricant; some bearings use pumped lubrication and behave similarly to fluid bearings.
Rolling element bearing Ball or rollers are used to prevent or minimise rubbing
Jewel bearing Off-center bearing rolls in seating
What are the three types of bearings?
While there are several types of bearings on the market, the primary types are ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, tapered roller bearings, and needle bearings. Ball bearings are the most commonly used; however, each type has its own unique set of advantages and disadvantages to keep in mind.
What is bearing and its types PDF?
A bearing is a machine element which supports another moving machine element (known as journal). It permits a relative motion between the contact surfaces of the members, while carrying the load. Bearings can be split into two groups: Rolling bearings and Sliding bearings.
What are the types of bearing materials?
- Carbon Steel Bearings. Also called 'commercial grade', carbon steel is not stainless steel, instead features a carbon element of up to 2.1% in weight.
- Chrome Steel Bearings.
- Stainless Steel Bearings.
- Ceramic Bearings.
- Polymer Plastic Bearings.
- Hybrid Bearings.
Which kind of bearing is used when a motor is to be mounted horizontally?
For smaller motors used in horizontal equipment, the most common bearing arrangement consists of two deep-groove ball bearings mounted on a short shaft in a cross-locating bearing arrangement to control shaft movement.
What is B3 mounting of motor?

What is horizontal mounting?
Horizontal-Mount, Type 3R eliminates the need of a vertical mounting structure in applications such as such as rooftops or pads. It is used as a wiring, junction or pull box outdoor in outdoor applications that require protection from rain, sleet, snow or dripping water.
What are the four types of bearing?
There are several types of bearings, the four main types are: ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, tapered roller bearings and needle bearings. While ball bearings are the most common mechanisms, each device has its advantages and disadvantages.
