Siemens Releases Modular Design Motors

The Siemens Drive Technologies Division is presenting a new series of main motors. According to Siemens, The 1PH8 series is designed for universal use in various motion control applications.

Based on a flexible modular system, the motors are available both in an asynchronous and a compact synchronous version, either with forced ventilation or water cooling. The motors are available as main drives with outputs of 2.8 kW to 1,340 kW. Typical applications of the motors are main drives in presses and extruders, converting applications, eccentric rotational axes in the paper and printing industry and cranes.
