This new series combines Flender Motox geared motors with new 1LA7/1LG4/1LG6 Siemens IEC motors, including energy-saving and explosion-proof versions.

These geared motors are certified for European, American and Asian markets, can be supplied with helical, parallel shaft and bevel helical gears in power ranges up to 200 kW and have a rated gear torque of up to 20,000Nm. Models with helical worm gears have outputs of up to 11kW at 1,590Nm and motors with worm gears have an output of up to 1.5 kW at 166Nm. Optional drive groups enable mounting of standard IEC, NEMA and servo motors. Gears are available with free drive shaft or as a piggyback version.

To enable direct mounting of motor to gearbox, the drive side interface has been adapted, but the electrical data remains identical. Using the Modulog principle (modular/logically optimised motor structure), functional units like 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 an electronic catalogue, which contains all the data as well as CAD drawings. E-mail anna.grimshaw@siemens.com
