Custom Radiation-Resistant Motor

Product Overview

The WHEATSTONE Custom Radiation-Resistant Motor is specifically engineered for environments where motors are exposed to high levels of ionizing radiation, such as nuclear power plants, particle accelerators, medical equipment, and space or defense applications. By utilizing radiation-hardened materials, specialized insulation systems, and robust mechanical design, this motor maintains long-term reliability, safety, and performance in conditions that would rapidly degrade conventional motors.

Key Features

• Radiation Resistance – Motor components are built using radiation-hardened insulation, wire coatings, and structural materials to withstand cumulative doses exceeding industry requirements.

• Custom Engineering – Tailored designs are available for voltage, torque, cooling methods, and frame size to match specific project demands.

• High Reliability – Optimized for continuous operation in hazardous conditions with reduced maintenance needs.

• Thermal Stability – Advanced winding and cooling options ensure consistent performance under variable load conditions.

• Compact & Flexible – Available in special shapes, frameless kits, or sealed housings for integration into specialized equipment.

• Safety Compliance – Designed in accordance with international nuclear and radiation safety standards.
