Submersible & Traction Motors

BRUSH has many years valuable experience with the design and manufacture of submersible motors and traction motors. This experience has been built up over the years as a major supplier to the main dredging and transportation companies.

Submersible motors

Submersible 1Low speed submersible designs are available up to 6.5 MW leaving out the need for a gearbox to improve the reliability of the underwater drive system. Specifics for the BRUSH design are:

  • The BRUSH submersible motors have a generous overload margin with solid lamination, winding and rotor design
  • The BRUSH submersible motor is oil filled and therefore no re-greasing of the bearings is required. The oil filling also prevents from condensation of water in the motor
  • The motor will be supplied with bearings to cope with the pump impeller forces and are designed for 30.000 running hours minimum
  • Cooling of the motor can be either natural cooling or forced cooling both by the surrounding seawater
