Traction motors are powered by electricity and generate the power to rotate the wheels of the train. The turning force produced by traction motors is transmitted to the wheels via the driving gear unit and axle. Traction motors are typically mounted in the trucks where the wheels are housed.
Features
Low maintenance: Completely sealed structure prevents dust intrusion. Reduced number of components for fewer items requiring maintenance and reduced frequency.
Low noise: Completely sealed structure to keep noise at a minimum. Improved accessory devices such as cooling fans also help keep noise levels low.
High reliability: Robust structure achieved by integrating the stator and brazing the rotor bar using high frequency heating.
