Functional and Engineering Methods of Upgrading the Quality of Induction Traction Electric Motors

Abstract

The results of research on the creation of induction traction electric motors (EM), which made it possible to improve their technical, environmental and operational qualities, are presented. The main criterion for assessing the quality of EM were selected vibration levels. The main research methods were experimental and statistical methods. New technologies for assembling bearing units assemblies and EM as a whole were studied. New design and technological solutions have been developed. The dynamic characteristics of structural vibration damping have been improved by methods of rational distribution of masses, stiffness and distance between supports of bearings. The achieved reduction in vibration levels makes it possible to predict an increase in the resource developed by the EМ by 2-3 times.
