Is the motor shell the difference between cast iron or aluminum?

5 thoughts on “Is the motor shell the difference between cast iron or aluminum?”

  1. The difference between the motor shell is cast iron or aluminum is:
    1, the motor shell is cast iron, durable, tapped, and the mechanical strength is high. Disadvantages: Its weight is relatively heavy, easy to rust, and heat dissipation is worse than aluminum.
    2, the motor shell is aluminum, which is beautiful, not easy to rust, easy to process, and good heat dissipation. However, the mechanical strength is poor, the cost is also high, and the corresponding price is also high.
    3, in terms of electrical performance, whether the motor shell is cast iron or aluminum.
    Them motor aluminum shell has the following considerations:
    1. The density of aluminum is relatively small, which can reduce the weight of the whole machine.
    2. Aluminum thermal conductivity is better than iron, which is conducive to motor heat dissipation.
    3. The intensity of aluminum is low, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing and saving processing costs.
    aluminum shell motor
    aluminum's heat dissipation coefficient is much better than cast iron. Easy to process but cost more expensive, but the mechanical strength and hardness are not good. The output torque of the 315 large motor 315 is large, and its mechanical strength must be considered.
    Because of the insufficient mechanical strength.
    The cooling performance of the aluminum shell, light quality, and easy processing.
    So in most cases, aluminum shell motors are still selected

  2. The motor with a shaft above 315 has almost no aluminum shell because of poor mechanical strength.
    M motor with a shaft is about 80 to 225, with both cast iron shells and aluminum shells. These two materials should have no great impact on the overall performance of the motor.

  3. The cooling coefficient of aluminum is much better than cast iron. Easy to process but cost more expensive, but the mechanical strength and hardness are not good. The output torque of the 315 large motor is large, and it must consider its mechanical strength

  4. Well, there is no aluminum shell in the center of the center because the mechanical strength of aluminum is not enough.
    Them motor aluminum shell has the following considerations:
    1. The density of aluminum is relatively small, which can reduce the weight of the whole machine.
    2. Aluminum thermal conductivity is better than iron, which is conducive to motor heat dissipation.
    3. The intensity of aluminum is low, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing and saving processing costs.
    We we know that in the AC motor, the case does not participate in the conduction of circuits and magnetic circuits in the motor, so it will not affect the electrical performance of the motor, but it will only affect the mechanical performance.

  5. The is very reasonable, but I still have a few points to add:
    1. Generally speaking, the aluminum motor shell is more beautiful than the iron, and the style is a little bit.
    2. Now it is more and more manufacturers of iron motors, and at the same time, it has made aluminum motors because of material reasons.
