DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMON , 211 KW, DC TRACTION MOTOR WITH TAPER ROLLER SUSPENSION BEARING ARRANGEMENT FOR BOTH METER GAUGE amp; CAPE GAUGE DIESEL ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE APPLICATION

摘要

A common DC traction motor for both meter gauge and cape gauge Diesel- electric locomotives comprising a high permeability steel magnet frame (19), an armature having its core assembled on the shaft (26), the armature core having lap wound conductors connected to a copper commutator, a brush gear having four brush arms positioned symmetrically around the commutator, the shaft (26) being connected to the locomotive axle through a single reduction gear unit for transmission of power, the nose of the motor being supported in the bogie with resilient rubber-sheet sandwitch mounting, characterized in that the motor is dimensioned for both meter gauge and cape gauge applications.
