With the new StockMotors brand, Lenze have brought a greatly extended range of 3-phase AC motors onto the market. The StockMotors range covers powers from 90W to 315kW with a combination of economy and quality that leads to long life.
Motors are available from stock with nominal speeds of 2800, 1400 and 1000 rev/min. As well as the common B3 foot mounting, B5 flange and B14 face variants are available. We already have a significant share of the lower power end of the motor market says Lenze Marketing Manager, Geoff Spear.
Although standard AC motors often get overlooked, they are at the heart of most machines and this new StockMotors range takes us into higher powers with the added advantage of attractive prices.
Three phase AC motors are often viewed as a commodity. However customers still look for particular features, such as the knowledge that they can obtain one in a hurry and the expectation of a long service life.
StockMotors offer a high quality construction and are backed by a two-year warranty and worldwide service from the Lenze organisation.Ease of use is another benefit of the StockMotors range, illustrated by the well-sized terminal boxes fitted with two glands to speed up connections.
Up to 132 frame B3 motors have bolt-on feet that allow the customer to rotate the terminal box position by 90o increments. Motor protection by Klixon thermal switch or PTC thermistors is standard.
StockMotors are constructed with aluminium frames up to size 132, and cast iron from 160 to 355 frame size. They are enclosed to IP55 with Class F insulation and rated at efficiency level EFF 2. European C3 bearings are fitted.
Throughout the range, inverter running is possible and up to 3.0kW motors can be uprated by running with a nominal inverter setting of 87Hz.With the new StockMotors range Lenze have combined attractive prices with high quality construction, and motors are readily available throughout the UK.
As general purpose motors, they suit the majority of applications and are suitable for both new machinery and replacements.
