Motors

A reliable ventilation system starts with the right industrial electric motor. Whether you need a replacement motor for an existing fan or a motor for a new installation, we supply solutions tailored to your technical requirements.

Our range covers 0.06 kW up to 355 kW, suitable for everything from compact ventilation units to heavy industrial applications. From standard IEC motors to ATEX and smoke extraction (RWA) executions, we help you select a motor that matches performance, safety and durability requirements.

When combined with our centrifugal fans, axial fans or heavy duty fans, we ensure the motor and fan are perfectly aligned in terms of capacity, pressure and operating conditions.

Industrial electric motors with wide technical range

Companies searching for an industrial electric motor, electric motor for fan or 3 phase motor for industrial ventilation usually require more than a standard catalogue product. That is why we offer extensive configuration options.

Power range

  • 0.06 kW up to 355 kW

Suitable for light-duty and heavy-duty industrial environments.

Motor types and executions

  • Standard IEC norm motors
  • IE3 and IE4 high-efficiency motors
  • ATEX motors for hazardous areas
  • Smoke extraction (RWA) motors
  • Dahlander motors
  • 2, 4, 6 or 8 pole executions

 

The pole configuration directly determines motor speed and therefore influences airflow and pressure performance.

Mounting and electrical configurations

Selecting the right electric motor for an industrial fan requires mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Mounting options

  • Foot-mounted (B3)
  • Flange-mounted (B5 / B14)

Electrical configurations

  • 400V / 3-phase / 50 Hz
  • 230V / 1-phase / 50 Hz
  • Alternative voltages and frequencies available on request

 

Whether you need a 3 phase motor for continuous industrial operation or a single-phase motor for smaller systems, we ensure proper technical alignment.

ATEX and smoke extraction motors

For hazardous environments, we supply ATEX motors suitable for use in explosive atmospheres. When combined with an ATEX fan or heavy duty fan, we make sure the complete solution complies with relevant safety requirements.

For safety-critical installations such as parking garage ventilation systems, we also provide smoke extraction (RWA) motors designed to operate under emergency conditions.

Replacement electric motor for fan

Need to replace an existing industrial motor? In many cases, we can supply a technically compatible replacement without modifying your installation.

We verify:

  • Power rating (kW)
  • Speed (pole configuration)
  • Shaft dimensions
  • Mounting type
  • Voltage and frequency
  • Ambient conditions

 

This ensures minimal downtime and reliable performance.

Technical advice and reliable supply

Choosing an industrial electric motor is about more than matching kW. Starting torque, duty cycle, inverter compatibility, bearing load and energy efficiency class all influence long-term reliability.

You receive clear technical advice and a reliable supply solution, tailored to your application.

Frequently asked questions about industrial electric motors

What is an industrial electric motor?

An industrial electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and is used to drive equipment such as fans, pumps and conveyor systems. In ventilation systems, the motor determines speed, torque and overall airflow performance.

Industrial motors are designed for continuous operation and demanding environments.

Selecting the right electric motor for a fan depends on:

  • Required power (kW)
  • Speed (2, 4, 6 or 8 pole configuration)
  • Voltage and frequency (e.g. 400V / 3-phase / 50 Hz)
  • Mounting type (foot or flange)
  • Environmental conditions (temperature, ATEX zone, dust, humidity)

 

We help you determine the correct specification based on your application.

IE3 and IE4 refer to energy efficiency classes according to IEC standards.

  • IE3 motors offer high efficiency and are widely used in industrial applications.
  • IE4 motors provide even higher efficiency and lower energy losses.

 

For installations with many operating hours, IE4 motors can significantly reduce energy consumption.

Yes. We supply ATEX motors suitable for hazardous areas. These motors are often combined with ATEX fans or heavy-duty ventilation systems in industrial environments.

We verify the correct zone classification and temperature class to ensure compliance and safety.

A smoke extraction motor is designed to operate under extreme conditions, such as during a fire, as part of a smoke and heat exhaust system.

These motors are commonly used in parking garages and industrial buildings where smoke control is part of the safety concept.

In many cases, yes. We check power rating, speed, shaft dimensions, mounting type and electrical specifications to determine a compatible replacement motor.

This minimizes downtime and ensures reliable operation.

Yes. In addition to standard 400V / 3-phase / 50 Hz and 230V / 1-phase / 50 Hz, alternative voltages and frequencies are available on request.
