 BEI Kimco Magnetics offers high-performance motor for a down hole measurement while drilling (MWD) application. Key to the down hole tool string design was a motor capable of operation at elevated winding temperatures of up to 220 °C and pressures approaching 30,000 psi. The motor is used to position a sensor that would take measurements of the materials encountered during oil exploration operations. To meet the manufacturer’s requirements, BEI Kimco developed a high performance, 3.0-in. diameter x 8.5-in. length motor with a custom housing and dual shafts for gearbox and resolver mounting. High-energy samarium-cobalt magnets are used to provide high operating efficiencies and superior corrosion resistance. The motor was also designed for operation while filled with oil, to compensate for the high pressures.
