Submarine Motors
Thats some neat info
"Argyle" argyle@nospam wrote in message ... Had a visit last week at a customer site to look at upgrading and automating their plate mill. I was quite surprised to find the top 2 and bottom 2 main drive motors labled port and starboard. I had to ask. They told me they were motors from a salvaged WWII submarine. Another customer has twin motors the the last stand of their cold mill. The motors were made by Westinghouse and were about 20 to 30 years old. I sent a letter to what is now Teco-Westinghouse asking for motor data so I could tune the motors and drives. They refused to give me any information since the motors were from a decommissioned nuclear submarine and the information I sought was still clssified. All I wanted were the simple flux tables. No big problem, I ran them myself at the customer expense. Interesting to see salvaged marine motors in use in heavy manufacturing. Regards, Argyle |
