Our presence as a world leader in the engineering and production
of DC motors is built upon a distinguished record of pioneering
achievement in the steel and mining industries.
Working with the steel industry, Westinghouse developed and installed
the:
- First electric motors in an American steel mill (1891)
- First electric drive for main rolls
- First reversing mill drive
- First large twin-motor reversing mill drive
|
Some of our significant achievements in the mining industry
include the:
- First application of separately excited shunt-wound
DC motors
- First Ward Leonard dragline systems
- First vertical
swing motors
- First laminated frame generators
- First dual circuit generator system
|
Among the many Westinghouse "firsts" in the history of DC
motors was the nation's first reversing rolling mill motor
(pictured above), which was installed in 1905. |
Perpetuating a proud tradition, TECO-Westinghouse has continued
through the years to refine our DC motor product lines with quality
enhancing features that secure our position of leadership within
the marketplace.
