In 1879, GE founder, Thomas Edison constructed the first electric
motor ever made for a 110 to 120 Volt line at Menlo Park, NJ. This
device still exists and is operative! It is located in the Edison Historical
Collection in New Jersey.
Since then, GE has been designing, developing and perfecting DC
motor technology for industrial applications—culminating in the
MD800 Armored Mill Motor.
Applications and Standards
This low base speed, high torque motor is used in high performance,
automatic control systems that require a fast transient response.
These motors are ideal for use in steel plants, excavating equipment,
shipyard cranes, coal and ore dock cranes. They operate well in
constant potential or adjustable voltage drive systems with either
rectified power supplies or motor-generator sets.
MD800 motors meet standards established by the Association of
Iron and Steel Technology (AIST).
Key Features
Heavy-duty, double tapered shaft is removable and replaceable
•
Single width cylindrical roller bearings for high intermittent
•
and impact thrust capacity
TIG welding of the armature coil leads to the commutator
•
makes the motor highly resistant to overloads
GE Benefits
Fast dynamic response and smooth speed control due to
•
optimal system inertia
Advanced Tape-Reinforced Encapsulated Construction

Ventilation and Cooling
A new design was developed to improve
heat transfer with a low-pressure drop
Proven GE commutator design has greater stability
for severe MD motor applications with improved
tracking resistance
Cartridge-type bearing assemblies protect

Viton®is used to seal commutator bands, preventing
penetration of contaminants into critical areas
Drain holes allow excess moisture to drain
from bottom of motor
Constant-pressure brush holders help to assure
excellent commutation without
