Is There A Difference Between Aluminum Motor Body And Aluminum Motor Enclosure?

No, aluminum motor body and aluminum motor enclosure all refer to the same thing.

Which Are The Common Types Of Aluminum Motor Body Described By NEMA Standards?

The aluminum motor body will offer protection of the bearings, windings, and other mechanical components.

Besides, the protection is against chemicals, moisture, abrasion, and mechanical damage.

The NEMA standards ranging from MG1-1.25 to 1.27 highlight over 20 types of enclosures under the following groups:

• Open machines
• Machines with sealed or encapsulated windings
• Totally enclosed machines

Here is a list of the common types of the aluminum motor body as illustrated by NEMA standards:

Totally Enclosed Air Oven [TEAO]

This system is suitable for blower-duty motors and dust-tight fans.

Besides, the design is for shaft-mounted fans and belt-driven fans.

You must mount the motor of a totally enclosed air oven aluminum motor body within the airflow of fans.

Open Drip Proof [ODP]

This system will allow the circulation of air via the windings for cooling purposes.

Also, it will inhibit liquid drops from infiltrating the motor inside at an angle of 15 degrees from a vertical standpoint.

Besides, you will use an open drip proof aluminum motor body indoors, in a clean and dry location.

Explosion-proof Enclosures [EXPL]

This type of system has a totally enclosed unit.

For this reason, explosion-proof aluminum motor bodies can withstand the explosion of gases or vapor within the motor casing.

Therefore, explosion-proof enclosures will inhibit external ignition of the motors through flashing, sparks, or explosions.

Explosion-proof enclosures are suitable for use in hazardous scenarios.

For instance, it works well in an environment that has hazardous gases or dust.

Ensure the maximum operational motor temperature is below the ignition temperature of the gasses and vapors in the environment.

This will ensure that the explosion-proof enclosure for the aluminum motor body operates safely.

Also, the manufacture, testing, and design of explosion-proof motors are done following the requirements of the UL [Underwriters Laboratories].

Totally Enclosed Non-Ventilated [TENV]

This system will inhibit air within the unit and the environment from freely exchanging.

However, a totally enclosed non-ventilated aluminum motor body lacks cooling fans.

It, therefore, relies on convection for cooling to occur.

Besides, it lacks vent openings but is not airtight and the tight enclosure will inhibit the free exchange of air.

A totally enclosed non-ventilated aluminum motor body is suitable for scenarios containing dirt and is damp.

However, they are not suitable for extremely hazardous or moist areas.

The surface treatment will offer protection to the aluminum motor body.

Examples of surface treatments for an aluminum motor body include the following:

Aluminum motor body with different surface finish

Mill Finish

This type of surface treatment entails forming a texture on the aluminum motor body after exiting the rolling mill.

The texture is rough, lacking luster since there is no additional mechanical or chemical finish.

Anodizing

When anodizing an aluminum motor body, you will use an electrochemical process to form a layer of oxide on the surface.

The oxide film will therefore form a protective layer on the aluminum motor body.

Besides, anodizing needs you to apply no extra layer to the aluminum motor body.

The anodizing process will offer a protective layer that builds upon the existing aluminum material.

The oxide film will integrate fully into the aluminum due to strong molecular bonds.

Anodizing process protects the aluminum motor body and increases resistance to corrosion.

Also, the aluminum motor body will retain its appearance for a long time.

The hard and wear-resistant anodizing layer protects the underlying aluminum motor body thus enhancing its durability.

Besides, the layer of oxide will offer decorative properties as it allows the aluminum motor body to have several decorative colors.

It will retain the natural appearance of aluminum while making it acquire an attractive appearance.

During anodizing process, you can either use natural anodizing or hard anodizing.

Natural anodized surface treatment entails using an uncolored anodic film.

It is transparent and will show how the underlining aluminum motor body appears.

In a hard-anodized process, you will use a layer of oxides to harden the aluminum motor body.

This feature makes the aluminum motor body resistant to corrosion, hard, and durable.

Powder Coating

This coating will provide the aluminum motor body with a protective and decorative layer.

After several pre-treatments such as degreasing and rinsing, you will apply a powder coat through the electrostatic process.

Powder with a negative charge goes to the positively charged aluminum motor body.

The electrostatic process will form a temporary sticking effect of the coating.

Then, you will heat to cure the coating, and the coating will melt and flow hence forming a film of continuous liquid.

Besides, it is environmentally friendly since you do not use any solvents.

However, the final finish is a bit rough since the texture of granules is a bit visible.

Wet Paint

This process is useful when aesthetics is more important since it produces a smoother result.

Besides, you cannot powder coat to achieve certain decorative effects.

This process is simple since the dimension of the aluminum motor body is not an issue since you spray it in a spray booth.

Mechanical Finish

In this method, you will buff, polish, blast, sand, or grind the aluminum motor body.

The mechanical finish will enhance the surface quality of the aluminum motor body preparing it for more cosmetic finishes.

Pre-treatment

In this process, you will provide the surface treatment either through etching or cleaning with alkaline or acidic substances.

After cleaning, you will apply a pre-treatment coating that improves the paint or powder.

This effect will offer strong resistance against corrosion.

Bright Dipping

Here, you can bright dip the extrusion hence giving the aluminum motor body a specular or mirror-like finish.

Technicians will place the profile into a dipping solution such as a combination of nitric and hot phosphoric acid.
