Traction-Motors

TRACTION MOTORS

Rotomotive Traction Motors are high-performance electric motors engineered for railway propulsion systems, translating electrical energy into torque to drive train wheels. Designed with robust construction, compact packaging and efficient power delivery, these motors are suited for demanding rail applications where durability, dynamic response and continuous duty are critical.

 

WAG-9 (freight) and WAP-7 (passenger) locomotives. It is designed for high-power, heavy-duty operation with significant advantages in maintenance and efficiency over traditional DC motors. 

The motors are designed to operate under severe environmental conditions, including high dust and temperatures up to in direct sunshine. 

Key Advantages

High air-gap flux density for superior dynamic performance

Outstanding power-to-weight ratio, enabling powerful output in a compact form

Large torque-to-inertia ratio for rapid acceleration and control

Insulation System: Uses the Class 200 (Veridur) insulation system, offering high thermal resistance (Class 200).
