This project involved the manufacture of a 1 kW, 4-pole induction motor in Frame 100, built with IP67 protection, B14 flange mounting, and continuous-duty (S1) operation.

Although compact in size, motors of this type are often specified for applications where environmental conditions are more demanding than those encountered by standard industrial motors.

IP67 Protection

The defining characteristic of this execution is its IP67 degree of protection.

Designed to prevent the ingress of dust and to withstand temporary immersion in water, IP67 motors are used where reliable operation must be maintained despite frequent exposure to moisture, wash-down procedures, or harsh outdoor environments.

Achieving this level of protection requires careful attention to sealing, shaft arrangements, cable entry and overall mechanical construction.

Technical Specification

• Frame size: 100

Built for the Application

Special executions are not always distinguished by high power or unusual dimensions.

Sometimes the engineering challenge lies in achieving the required environmental protection while maintaining the mechanical characteristics of a standard IEC motor.

Projects such as this demonstrate how relatively small machines can be adapted to meet the specific requirements of demanding industrial applications.
