REDA Production Systems
Motor - Construction
It is simple in construction,
rugged and reliable. It’s speed is
practically constant, regardless
of load, when operated within
the normal working range.

Because the structure resembles the cage used to

exercise squirrels, rotors of this type are called
“Squirrel-Cage” rotors.
Because of the way the

stator is wound, the three
phase power establishes a
two pole magnetic field
within the stator.
The stator is the core or electrical

field of the motor.
Housing
Stator
The stator is composed of the
the housing material for a Stator
Core
desired diameter, the stator
core, and the stator windings .

Windings
Housing
The housing material forms

the cover for the motor and is
threaded at both ends for
head and base components.
The housing can be of five
different diameters:
3.75” = 375 series
4.56” = 456 series
5.13” = 540 series
5.62” = 562 series
7.38” = 738 series
The housing material can
also be chosen for different
applications, depending upon
the environment.
Stator
Core
The stator core is composed
of laminations stacked under
pressure to insure a
permanently tight core.
Laminations are thin sheets
of die-punched steel or
bronze material.
Laminations
The windings are made
from either Polyimid or
PEEK material, for primary
magnetizing winding wound
through the die-punched
slots in the stator core.

Winding Line
The stator is hand
wound by experienced
craftsmen. Each stator
is wound in three
phases with the
determined amperage
and voltage for each
order placement.
Windings
It is important to note that the PEEK winding material

cannot be utilized in open slot lamination design. Failures
may occur if the winding is exposed to the stator ID.
The rotor is a device
that rotates inside of
the stator core.
Rotor
The rotor is made up of rotor
laminations that are smaller
in diameter from the stator
laminations and these
creates the iron core. Inside
each slot are copper bars
with supporting copper end
rings.
540 562
The bars are shorted

together at each end by a
rotor “end ring”. Depending
on the motor, the end ring is
either braided or brazed to
the rotor bars.
540 Rotor Bearing
Rotor Bearings are one of the

most vital parts of the motor.
The REDA Production Systems
The Bearing Material is
Babbitt-lined steel and
machined after processing.
There are fluid holes to
insure oil circulation and
wide angle oil grooves on
the OD to distribute
lubrication evenly over the
entire length of the bearing
surface.
The bearing sleeve is a bronze
material for the sleeve
construction of the bearing.
This part is keyed to the shaft
and the hole on the sleeve is
aligned with the hole on the
shaft to insure proper cooling
and lubrication.
The construction of the rotor

bearing and sleeve have improved
slightly over the years. Its main
purpose is to provide the axial and
radial thrust capabilities.
Because of the design of the oil lubrication system, and

the effectiveness of re-oiling, the REDA motor can
operate for years at a time, without ever having to be
pulled or re-serviced.
The 562 motor has an added feature. It has a longer

base or reservoir chamber with a filtration system to
assist in cooling and lubrication features.
Although the 562 motor head
is designed to mate to a 540
protector, the 562 UMB and DME
units must be used on the
bottom end. Both of these parts
are designed with the same
reservoir and filter system as
the 562 single motor with no loss
in features and benefits.
The motor thrust bearing is installed

at the top of the rotor string. It is
designed to hold the weight of the
entire rotor assembly.
REDA currently uses four types of

motor thrust bearings.
9Babbitt
9Glacier (Peak coated tilting pad)
9Bronze pads
9REDA Bronze
The thrust bearing limits on the

system will indicate the type of
load required for the selected
bearing material.
The last main component

to discuss is the Pothead
connection on the motor.
REDA production system uses
mainly tape-in potheads versus
plug-in type for motor lead
connection to the pothead.
Historically tie in potheads have
been more reliable than plug in
ones.
The disadvantage is the time
taken for connections
