SIMOTICS FD Flexible Duty Motors

In the power range from 200 kW upwards SIEMENS SIMOTICS FD is the basis for a complete, cost-effective system comprised of a motor and drive with a high power density. Using a wide range of versions, the low voltage motors can be flexibly and efficiently used in the widest range of applications and sectors.

The low voltage motors are rugged and durable as a result of their cast iron frame. The water-cooled motors allow an extensive range of other applications to be addressed.

Cost-effective combination: SIMOTICS and SINAMICS

The combination of SIMOTICS FD and low-voltage frequency converter SINAMICS G120P Cabinet, SINAMICS G130, SINAMICS G150, SINAMICS S120, SINAMICS S120 CM or SINAMICS S150 is especially cost-effective as the motor and drive are precisely coordinated and harmonized with one another. The rated motor currents are adapted to the frequency converter output currents and the motor is designed for the rated frequency converter pulse frequency.

This means that the drive is not overdimensioned, and an optimum voltage utilization is ensured with low noise emission when operated from SINAMICS G and SINAMICS S drives.

Integrated Drive Systems

We offer our highly efficient motors in terms of Integrated Drive Systems to ensure even more energy saving potential. Not only are they perfectly matched to frequency converters, but also to couplings and gear units and seamlessly integrated into the automation landscape. Integrated tools and service concepts over the whole life cycle are also part of it.
