The new motor complements Movigear, the company’s mechatronic drive system, and makes this significant energy saving technology available to users of standard gearboxes. It can be supplied with new product or it can be used as a retrofit on applications with existing geared motors driven by conventional motor technologies.

The new DRC motor is available in two sizes, 1.5kW and 0.55kW, supplementing the company’s product portfolio of mechatronic drive systems. The new motor has a nominal speed of 2,000rpm, with IP65 and IP66 rated protection and a 250% overload capacity. It fits to standard SEW gearboxes from the R, F, K and W ranges, and can be supplied on its own with an IEC shaft and flange.
