Their reliability and longevity have made them popular in applications such as plastic and rubber extrusion, injection moulding, winders, lifting, test benches, and machine tools.

Machine building OEMs can now capitalise on a new generation of HDP motors to help them improve their replacement motor offering, while developing new and innovative machine designs. With frame sizes ranging between 80 and 400 – and output capacities of up to 2MW – the new HDP motors are designed for use with a variable speed drive (VSD) in a wide variety of machine types, sizes, and applications. The motor-and-drive packages offer superior machine performance and high energy efficiency, and are suitable for retrofitting or new designs. They’re also available in high-speed and water-cooled variants.

A quick step back

To grasp HDP motors better, it’s helpful briefly to look at their origin...
