Electric Motors
As the world’s energy demands continue to climb, the abundance of electric motors has reached an all-time high. Zeus provides a number of motor components focused on insulation that are designed to minimize system losses and protect against operational and manufacturing hazards. Together, Zeus insulated wire, extruded slot liners, and heat shrinkable insulation can improve your motor performance.
Insulated Wire
PEEK Insulated Wire
PEEK insulated wire is engineered specifically for challenging environments such as those found in the oil and gas, aerospace, and electrical industries. PEEK insulated wire provides excellent abrasion resistance and the ability to withstand intense pressures and exposure to caustic fluids. These properties make it an excellent choice for applications where long-term durability and reliable insulation are critical. PEEK wire is 100% AC spark tested in-line during production.*
Key Benefits and Capabilities:
- High Dielectric Strength
- Wall Thickness available up to 0.080″ (2.032 mm)
- Available in AWG sizes #2 – #40 (additional sizes upon request)
*Allowances for PEEK insulated wire are customized and based on various design requirements.
Slot Liner Insulation
Extruded Tubing
Stator slot liners are a crucial component of motors that help protect magnet wire from abrasion during the motor winding process. Custom extruded slot liners are offered in round, Lay-Flat™, and custom profile configurations. A range of polymer options are available depending on the physical and mechanical properties of your system.
Key Benefits and Capabilities:
- Custom Sizes Available
- Available in FEP, PEEK, PFA, PTFE, and more.
- Electrical and Mechanical Protection
Splicing Aids
PEEKshrink™
PEEKshrink™, our heat-shrinkable PEEK tubing, provides a shrink-to-fit layer of protection for sensitive components and connections and serves as an excellent wire splicing aid. PEEK’s electrical properties, temperature tolerance, and strength allow it to be used in a variety of challenging environments where temperature, pressure, chemicals, water, or dielectric interference pose a threat to electrical components.
Key Benefits and Capabilities:
- Working Temperature up to 500 °F (260 °C)
- High Dielectric Strength
- Shrink Ratios up to 1.4:1
