siemens0115Siemens completes the range of "Simotics FD" low-voltage motors and now covers a power range from 200 to 1600 kW and shaft heights from 315 to 450 mm. The motors are optimized for converter operation and are particularly energy-saving in the partial load range. In combination with Sinamics low-voltage converters, they form an integrated drive system (IDS) and achieve system efficiency class IES2. Compared to the reference system of the standard, this means a reduction in losses of 35%.

The modular design gives the user the greatest possible flexibility: For example, he can choose between air or water cooling or internal or external ventilation. Service concepts such as condition monitoring enable predictive condition monitoring.


BEN Buchele water-cooled electric motorWater-cooled electric motors: compact, powerful, quiet


The Simotics FD motors are designed to work in concert with Sinamic's low-voltage converters and, as IDS, are a cost-effective, low-noise, energy-efficient complete system. Combined with Sinamics low-voltage converters, the powertrain achieves system efficiency class IES2. If the drive system is consistently water-cooled, heat recovery can further increase efficiency. The water-cooled motors are extremely compact due to their up to 30% higher power density.


Easy-to-install IE3 asynchronous motor in eco-design


The combination of Sinamics G120P inverter and Simotics FD motor was specially designed for pump-fan applications and is particularly powerful here. The Simotics FD motors are now in use in all sectors such as plastics, cement, mining, steel, marine, paper, cranes, water / wastewater and chemicals. The expansion of service now covers the entire performance range.
