Optional drive groups enable mounting of standard IEC, NEMA and servomotors.
Moreover, the gears are available with a free drive shaft or as a piggyback version.
In order to enable direct mounting of the motor on the gearbox, the interface on the drive side has been adapted.
However, the electrical data remains identical.
Using the Modulog principle (modular and logically optimised motor structure), functional units such as the brake, external fan and encoder are built onto a skeleton motor which always remains the same.
The motor can therefore be fitted with additional functional units, even after installation.
The standard motors conform to IEC/EN standards, with energy-saving variants supplied with EU certification in accordance with CEMEP (European Committee of Manufacturers of Electrical Machines and Power Electronics).
For operation in areas where there may be an explosion risk, geared motors are available for zones 1 and 2 (gas) as well as 21 and 22 (dust) in accordance with EU directive 94/9/EG.
Selection of these geared motors is made easier by using the electronic catalogue, which contains all motor data as well as CAD drawings.
