The severe duty motors with their robust cast iron housing are the first choice for all major applications in normal industrial environments, as well as in harsh environments. They are very reliable, even under extreme conditions, versatile, extremely compact, and easy to handle. Very high efficiencies ensure economical and sustainable operation.
Converter-optimized motors
The variable-speed-drive motors are based on the platform of the Severe Duty Motors. The design corresponds to the line motors – the mechanical parts are identical. However, instead of the squirrel cage induction rotor, they utilize one of the two available synchronous technologies.
Synchronous reluctance motor
For particularly energy-efficient operation, with keeping the standard power-shaft height assignment, the best choice is a VSD system with an Innomotics reluctance motor. The reluctance technology, without any rotor winding, ensures particularly high dynamic performance and high efficiencies even in the partial load range, as well as high process quality.
In addition to induction (asynchronous) motors for direct-on-line and converter operation, two different synchronous motor technologies are available. These need to be used always with a frequency converter (VSD).• Converter-optimized synchronous reluctance motor (VSD4000)
For particularly energy-efficient operation, the best choice is a system consisting of a Innomotics reluctance motor and a converter. The reluctance technology ensures particularly high dynamic performance and high efficiencies even in the partial load range, as well as high process quality.
