The SIMOTICS FD motor series has been specifically developed for operation with SINAMICS converters. To supplement our portfolio in the low-voltage motor range, a water-cooled version for mains-fed operation has been created.

• The optimized efficiency results in lower operating costs.
• The high power density and compact design ensure low space requirements combined with low weight.
• A highly harmonized drive system is created as the motor isoptimally matched to the converter. For instance, it has optimized noise levels, the converter does not have to be derated and the temperature rise is low.
• The cast-iron housing and bearing plates are extremely rigid and rugged and can therefore be subjected to considerable stress. They have excellent vibration damping properties and are resistant to corrosion.
• The bearings are designed for maximum reliability, which results in good vibration characteristics, a long service life and low maintenance costs.
• The DURIGNIT IR 2000 insulation system with VPI or current UV impregnation results in high reliability, a long service life and high resistance to stress, for example, during starting orunder overload conditions.
• Due to the low noise emission level, the stringent requirements of occupational safety are fulfilled without the need for any additional measures.

Greater output

With SIMOTICS FD, we have increased the power density so that we offer higher outputs for the same frame size.

Optimized tuning for converter-fed operation

The new motor series has been optimized for operation on SINAMICS G120P, G130, G150, S120, S120CM and S150 converters with regard to converter output currents and voltage utilization.
Through the use of optimized pulse patterns and the new non-ribbed housing, the SIMOTICS FD and frequency converter system is noise optimized.

More flexibility

As a result of the new motor design, SIMOTICS FD motors fulfill the most exacting customer requirements in terms of variance and mounted options. For instance, the optimized motor design allows terminal boxes, separately driven fans and mounted coolers to be flexibly mounted as required and monitoring devices can be added easily.

Improved design

The optimized housing in a modern design has an attractive appearance and enhances functionality with the flexible, modular system. For instance, this is ensured by the optimized, easy to access terminal box that has been newly developed, with flexible terminal box position.

A wider range of applications

The motors are available in country and industry-specific versions, complying with the relevant regulations, standards and directives.
