Vascat SA has recently supplied several customised asynchronous servomotors (30kW) for torsion control systems in tubular stranders. The motors have been integrated inside the tubular cage, rotating at a constant speed of 500rpm, so subjected to significant centrifugal forces. An important characteristic of these motors is the reinforced frame and shock and vibration-resistant design. As a result of close collaboration between Vascat and the customer, important dimension savings have been achieved and machine versatility has been substantially improved.
