Siemens electric motors: synonymous with quality
Siemens is one of the largest electrotechnical concerns in the world . It was named after Werner von Siemens , the inventor whose name also refers to the unit of electrical conductivity. Siemens founded his company already in 1847 and built it entirely around his invention of the telegraph with an arrow instead of Morse code.
Since 1994, the three Moravian electrical engineering plants MEZ (in Mohelnice, Drásov and Frenštát) have also been part of the Siemens company. E.g. The Drásov plant originally specialized in the production of induction motors, today its production has expanded to include synchronous generators, motors and components.
Siemens started a new electrical era
However, his business has grown over the years into a huge concern that today develops, produces and manufactures a huge portfolio of products. Among them are also electric motors, the foundation stone of which was laid by Werner Siemens himself in 1856 when he developed an electric generator with a wound armature .
At that time, he delivered about 50 such devices to the Bavarian Railway. Ten years later, he further improved his invention by developing the use of dynamo, essentially ushering in a new electrical era. Based on his inventions, he created an entirely new division of the company that still operates today and continues to push innovation forward.
Today, these products are supplied to the market under the Siemens or Simotics brand , which indicates electric motors of the highest quality. Siemens is a leader in the entire field and its devices have become synonymous with quality over the years.
From pumps to automation
The product portfolio of the Siemens electrical division is so broad today that it is possible to satisfy the requirements for almost any application. From pumps and fans to compressors and highly sensitive industrial automation , the Siemens Simotics brand is used everywhere.
Thanks to this, a number of producers from a wide variety of industries, from the food industry to pharmaceuticals, energy, and the petrochemical industry, rely on the company’s products today. Today, the Simotics division supplies the market with low-voltage three-phase motors , which offer outputs from 0.09 to 5300 kW. They can be powered either directly from the network or from Sinamics converters, also produced by Siemens.
The Siemens offer also includes high-voltage Simotics motors , which offer outputs from 150 kW to 100 mW and more. When we talk about revolutions, we are talking about electric motors capable of working at speeds from 7,000 to 15,900 rpm and with a torque of up to 2,460 kNm.
Functionality even in extreme conditions
These motors meet IEC and NEMA standards, have a range of cooling options and are equipped with common types of explosion protection . It goes without saying that degrees of protection up to IP66 and also surface treatment, thanks to which these motors can be used in aggressive atmospheres and extreme conditions . Some of the engines are therefore able to work even in temperatures reaching up to 60 degrees below freezing.
The third category offered by Siemens is motion control motors . Whether you are looking for synchronous or asynchronous motors , equipped with or without a gearbox, Siemens is able to meet any requirement. It has the widest selection of engines in the world . The advantage is that you can insert each of the engines into the online configurator, and thus choose exactly the engine that meets your requirements from a wide selection.
In short, Siemens, and therefore its Simotics division, is a bet on proven German quality, which has confirmed its privileged position on the market for 170 long years, and there are really very few such brands in the world.
TIP: in our offer you will find a wide portfolio of Siemens brand motors.
