DR2C Motor

Designed for industries focused on minimizing total cost of ownership, the DR2C motor reduces energy consumption, minimizes heat losses and enhances operational reliability. The DR2C motor series utilizes Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) technology, which integrates permanent magnets within the rotor instead of surface-mounted ones. This design increases torque density and achieves the highest normative efficiency class, IE5, resulting in energy losses up to 50% lower than those of standard IE3 asynchronous motors in the same power class. This leads to extended service life and reduced environmental impact.

ABB

Baldor-Reliance Food Safe SP5+ Motor

All SP5+ motors feature an energy-efficient design that leverages rotor technology to reduce energy consumption and optimize performance. Meeting or exceeding IE5 efficiency standards, the SP5+ motor offers sustainability when paired with a required variable-speed drive. Built for food and beverage applications, the motor’s IP69-rated stainless-steel construction is engineered to endure high-pressure washdowns, steam cleaning and exposure to dust. Fully compliant with NSF and Meat Institute hygiene standards, it’s ideal for facilities requiring rigorous sanitation practices.

Rockwell Automation

M100 Electronic Motor Starter

The M100 Electronic Motor Starter integrates into intelligent motor control setups, boosting productivity and minimizing downtime. It serves as a cost-effective, space-efficient option. The M100 incorporates point-on-wave (POW) switching technology. It offers zero stacking with no derating up to 55C, providing flexibility in installation without compromising performance. Removable terminal blocks, available in both screw and push-in variants, add convenience and adaptability. The M100 also supports direct-on-line (DOL), reversing, and safety capabilities in the same form factor.

NORD

IE5+ Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors

The new generation of NORD IE5+ synchronous motors feature permanent magnet technology for reduced energy loss, consistent high-efficiency even at partial loads and low speeds, and high-power density. Their constant torque over a wide speed range enables fewer system variants. A smooth surface, non-ventilated variant (TENV) is available for hygienic wash-down environments, while a ventilated variant (TEFC) offers optimized heat dissipation for applications with heavy traffic.
