High efficiency is one of the principal benefits of the new GVM series. Offering high power densities and compactness, the motors offer continuous power up to 167kW, peak torque up to 710Nm, and 8,000rpm maximum rotation speed – all with low inertia and high dynamics.

Flexibility is another feature of the range. A kit version is available for easy integration into any existing customer circular housing. Both liquid cooling or natural convection is possible, and the motor is available with different mechanical interfaces to best match the application requirements.

The 210 mm version is available now with a smaller model available early in 2014. In total, the GVM range yields 24+ standard configurations and is available as a kit or a complete motor.

The GVM range is shock-proof, vibration-proof and salt spray resistant, while a gore vent is provided to avoid condensation in the event of sudden temperature variation or during storage at low temperatures.
