VPF Food Grade Motors Repair

Manufactured by Allen-Bradley, the VPF series food-grade motors feature the permanent magnet rotary servo motors and they are optimized to the ratings of Allen-Bradley Kinetix 5500 and Kinetix 5700 servo drives. The VPF food-grade motors feature the food-grade enclosures that include food-grade shaft seals. The units under the VPF food-grade motors series fall under 2 different voltage classes. The VPF food-grade motors’ voltage classification is either the A class which is 200 Volts rated and the B Class that is 400 Volts rated. The Allen-Bradley VPF food-grade motors feature the bolt circle diameter frame sizing system. There are a total of 6 different frame sizes and the VPF food-grade motors feature a magnet stack length of up to 4. The VPF food-grade motors come with 9 different speed ratings, while the feedback classification is available in 4 feedback types. The different feedback classifications include the C, P, Q, and W feedback options.

The VPF food-grade motors come with couplings and pulleys that are mechanical connectors to the unit’s motor shaft. These couplings and the pulleys require torsion rigid coupling and a reinforcement of the timing belts. The food-grade motors are prone to electromagnetic interference, also known as electrical noise. Therefore, ensure that the EMI prevention guidelines are adhered to when installing, servicing, or repairing the units. The VPF food-grade motors come with the mounting pilot that is used for the alignment of the motors to the applications. Ensure that the installation of the VPF food-grade motors conforms to all the local regulations while promoting safety and electromagnetic compatibility.
