WEG-CESTARI launches new industrial gearbox platform
[ad_1]
The new WCG50 gearboxes are versatile, reliable, and have a modular design, which allows them to be used in a wide range of applications in the most diverse segments, such as mining, steelmaking, sugar and ethanol, fertilizers, and cellulose and paper.
Efficiency and modularity in a versatile solution
The modular and split housings were designed to facilitate maintenance and assembly in the most diverse working positions. The 2-stage models have finned casings, offering better thermal dissipation and oil circulation, providing longer life to its components.
The gearing, with optimized tooth profile, has been specially developed to reduce noise levels and increase durability and efficiency. Available with parallel and orthogonal shafts in R and T shapes, it has a greater variety of sizes with better torque distribution and fewer components, offered in two, three, and four-stage gear ratios from 6.3 to 450 and a torque of 22 kNm to 92 kNm.
Modular in design, singular in performance
Designed with a modular motor flange, it allows for a greater number of motors with fewer components, is able to receive a fan, and has optional coupling for classified areas. Available with single and double ended solid output shaft, hollow shaft with keyway or shrink disk.
Designed with standard coil thread and cartridge-type heater, dipstick-type oil level and VITON retainers, and with standard forced lubrication and cooling SKID.
A reference in manufacturing high-efficiency gearboxes in Brazil, this launch is one more of the versatile and efficient solutions with the WEG-CESTARI guarantee and reliability.

WEG supplies a big package of electric motors to the largest oil and gas production platform in Brazil
[ad_1]
WEG will be supplying about 40 MV electric motors with rated output up to 13,400 kW, over 100 LV electric motors and five MV variable speed drives (three of them with 11,723 kW rated output) for the largest oil and gas platform in Brazil.
These products, which are already being produced at the WEG manufacturing site located in Jaraguá do Sul/SC, Brazil, will be supplied through compressor and pump manufacturers from Europe and Asia, and will be driving these machineries at Bacalhau oilfield.
Designed for the Santos Basin pre-salt and with the first oil production scheduled between 2023/2024, the new platform will have a production capacity of 220,000 barrels of oil per day and 15 million m³ per day of natural gas.
In the last decade WEG has consolidated itself as the world’s largest supplier of electric motors for oil and gas FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) platforms, mainly due to the high technology used in its products and high operating reliability.
“For projects like this, where final destination is Brazil, our customers can also count on the largest local service structure with highly trained and qualified engineers to provide prompt support in case of any need,” says Elder Stringari, WEG´s International Director.

WEG creates virtual motor testing platform
[ad_1]
Continuously investing in innovation and technology, WEG has developed a virtual electric motor testing plataform, allowing customers to monitor remotely the tests at WEG manufacturing plants.
What is WEG Virtual Inspection?
WEG Virtual Inspection is inspected testing that occurs in real time and allows the monitoring by those in charge at WEG and at the customer, according to the motor specification. In the process, it is possible to monitor the images of the motor under testing and the values measured during the tests simultaneously; it is even possible to ask questions and interact with the system operator at WEG. The experience is the same as if the customer were at the bench, monitoring the data collection system together with the Laboratory Technician performing the testing and the Sales Analyst or Coordinator, who masters the electrical and mechanical parts of the motor. Such monitoring of the tests by WEG professionals is essential to provide full support to the customer, answer questions regarding the project and explain the processes, especially the code of ethics and safety.
How does WEG Virtual Inspection work?
After being added to the platform developed by WEG, the customer only registers for the first access, remaining connected to the WEG Virtual Inspection until the end of the tests. Once the inspection is confirmed, the customer accesses the URL and monitors the inspection, which takes place in a virtual room, which is accessed by authorized and registered people only. During the process, the customer sees the screen of the laboratory computer, which collects the values measured during the tests, and the image of a fixed camera showing the motor being tested. If necessary, images can be captured through a mobile camera to highlight a specific feature–everything in real time.
The platform also provides audio and chat resources for communication with the inspection coordinator. During and after the test, the documentation related to the inspection is provided directly by the platform so that the customer can reliably and safely follow the entire process.
In what units is WEG Virtual Inspection available?
Remote inspections are currently available at WEG motors and generator plants in Jaraguá do Sul and São Bernardo, in Brazil, and in WEG Portugal. The plants in the United States and China are finishing the structure to deploy the process. Other WEG units, such as the Transmission and Distribution Center in Blumenau, Brazil, also have this resource.
In a year as challenging as 2020, having alternatives like this is important to maintain the measures adopted by companies to minimize the impacts of the pandemic, including the holding of meetings by means of video conferencing or other remote technologies, such as the WEG Virtual Inspection. In addition to being a safe way to carry out inspections, it helps reduce travel expenses, following the recommended actions to contain the coronavirus.
WEG, recognized for the excellence in energy efficiency for various applications, offers the market different high performance solutions to bring more innovation, technology and reliability for industrial processes worldwide.
WEG Virtual Inspection* is a WEG development.
