ABB has expanded the availability of its Vertical Hollow Shaft (VHS) motors in Mexico following the achievement of NOM and ANCE certifications, enabling broader deployment across critical water and industrial applications. The move strengthens ABB’s position in the region by ensuring compliance with national safety and energy efficiency standards.
The certified VHS motors are specifically designed for vertical pumping applications and are widely used in sectors such as agriculture, mining, municipal water systems, wastewater treatment, and industrial processing. With regulatory approvals in place, customers and equipment manufacturers in Mexico can integrate ABB’s solutions with confidence.
The NOM certification represents mandatory technical compliance with Mexican regulations governing product safety, quality, and performance. ANCE certification further validates conformity through rigorous testing and evaluation processes, ensuring that electrical equipment meets national standards for efficiency and reliability.
ABB’s VHS motors are engineered to deliver durability and ease of maintenance in demanding environments. Their top-mounted coupling design allows simplified access to pump components, reducing downtime during servicing. Additional features include high-thrust capacity for deep-well and high-load applications, rugged construction for harsh operating conditions, and compatibility with standard NEMA dimensions for easy installation or replacement.
The motors also incorporate design elements that support operational efficiency, including energy-saving performance, compatibility with variable speed drives, and mechanisms to prevent reverse rotation. These features contribute to improved system reliability while lowering long-term operational costs.
As demand for water infrastructure continues to rise in Mexico, driven by agricultural requirements, urban expansion, and industrial activity, the need for efficient and dependable pumping systems has become increasingly critical. ABB’s expanded portfolio is positioned to address these challenges by providing solutions that balance performance with sustainability.
Company representatives noted that the introduction of certified VHS motors aligns with broader efforts to support water security and resource management in the region. By reducing energy consumption and extending equipment lifespan, the motors contribute to more sustainable operations across key industries.
ABB’s global expertise in motors and drives, combined with regional support capabilities, enables the company to deliver tailored solutions that meet both technical and regulatory requirements. The availability of NOM/ANCE-certified products is expected to facilitate
