Siemens launches new Simotics FD motor series

The Simotics FD motor series, with powers ranging from 200 to over 1600kW, is constructed as an intelligent modular system with an innovative design featuring internal cooling ribs.This enables different types of cooling and mounting positions, increasing flexibility of plant planning and multiplying applications for motors in pumps, fans and compressors, as well as conveyor systems and hoisting equipment.

The Sinamics frequency converters are optimally adapted to the low voltage motors and Siemens is also able to offer a complete system with a high power density and low noise level as part of its Integrated Drive Systems strategy.

The requirements of modern high-power low-voltage motors range from flexible applications, to energy efficiency, to low noise running and these demands are met by the new Simotics FD motor series. For example, many different cooling methods are available both in open and enclosed types with natural or separate ventilation. The portfolio includes water-cooled types with cooling jackets or air-to-water heat exchangers.
