the most comprehensive
range of motors

The history of todays most comprehensive range of motors worldwide started about 150 years ago in 1866 as
Werner von Siemens developed the dynamo-electric principle. This principle allowed powerful electric motors
to be designed and built, therefore creating the basis for their widespread use in industry today. Since then,
motor development has been a core business of the company, and with far more than 100 years of experience,
Siemens sets the pace when it comes to innovative motor technology. Today, millions of Siemens motors are effi-
ciently powering machines and equipment in industrial facilities around the world. In all sectors, applications
and power classes. Starting from energy-efficient low-voltage motors through motion control motors with a
high dynamic performance up to powerful high-voltage motors and well-proven DC motors. Motors that have
proven themselves in use, and are attractive as a result of their quality, efficiency and compactness. The only
thing that was missing up until now was a name reflecting their overall performance. We now have a name:
SIMOTICS.

same handling as for our General Purpose versions.

Explosion-protected motors:
maximum safety extremely rugged
In hazardous areas such as in the chemical and petrochemical industry or in gas works, motors have to meet
maximum safety standards for the protection of man, machine and the environment. With our explosion-
protected motors, you can depend on maximum safety.

Quality-tested
Our explosion-protected motors for the IEC market
are developed, produced and certified in accordance
with explosion protection directive 94/9/EC (ATEX).
Further, they are tested and certified from a nomi-
nated European testing body (PTB, DEKRA EXAM,
FTZU). As a consequence, they offer certified relia-
bility and efficiency for each and every drive
application.
Extremely long lifetime
Explosion-protected motors are extremely rugged, have
a long service lifetime and operate without any distur-
bances, even when subject to the harshest conditions.
This has been proven hundreds of thousands of times over
in operation around the world. And not only that: Our
range of explosion-protected motors is comprehensive
and covers all requirements with maximum safety and
efficiency in operation.

Extremely safe, even in converter operation

Explosion-protected motors are used in environments with
explosive gases or dusts. Depending on the particular
requirement, motors are available with aluminum or cast

Smoke extraction motors:

Reliable ventilation even at high temperatures
When accidents occur in buildings with smoke detection
systems, the ventilation and cooling systems have their
work cut out for them. Because then, upmost priority
must be given to ensure that ventilation is maintained as
long as possible to keep escape routes free of smoke and
improve the chances of survival. Our certified low-voltage
motors for smoke extraction fans reliably master even
high ambient temperatures. They reduce the thermal
stress placed on buildings and reliably ensure smoke-free
escape and access routes.

Application areas Smoke extraction

They are used in highly frequented public buildings such motor
as night clubs, shopping malls, movie theaters, airports,

Maximum power even when things get stormy
Just the same as ship motors, crane motors are often
exposed to extreme weather conditions and at the same
time, high operational requirements. They have to with-
stand high humidity, salty air and high wind speeds while
ensuring a high overload capability and a wide speed con-
trol range. Our crane motors are protected by special paint
finishes as well as seals to reliably protect them against
corrosion.

Application areas
Our rugged cast iron motors are particularly suitable for

The versatile range of

trans-standard motors
Especially rugged motors are demanded for applications where power ratings above 200 kW are required, and
where ambient conditions are predominantly harsh. This is where our trans-standard motors come into play.
A comprehensive range of motors with a wide range of options addresses applications in the widest variety of
sectors: Chemical, oil and gas, cement, mining, paper, water/wastewater, steel and marine engineering are just a
few examples.

Designed and built for a long lifetime Cost-effective in operation

Our trans-standard motors are designed and built so that The uniform cooling ensures a long motor service life,

vice life. This comes from our many decades of experience
in building motors, and as a result of a very rugged design
with cast iron bearing end shields and frames, high corro-
sion resistance, the winding insulation system and the
squirrel-cage rotor manufactured out of die cast alumi-
num.

Features of trans-standard motors

Especially rugged motors with inner and outer ribbing for
high strength
Two-circuit cooling system: An additional inner cooling circuit
ensures even temperature distribution in the active motor area
and reduces the thermal load
High power in a small space permits compact, space-
saving equipment
Long lifetime with corrosion protection for resistance
against aggressive environments, e.g. high air humidity,
high temperatures or dust- and salt-laden air
The terminal box that can be rotated is generously
dimensioned, therefore simplifying commissioning
Quiet operation as a result of the aerodynamically optimized
air guidance paths

SIMOTICS HT

Low operating costs and highest

availability with high-torque
motors
With gearless high-power torque motors, you can depend on a high degree of cost effectiveness and low costs
over the complete product lifecycle. SIMOTICS HT series HT-direct is being used in many applications, which
require a very powerful drive without gearbox even at low speeds. Paper machines, presses and roller drives as
well as applications in the steel industry are just some examples. It is precisely here that you can fully leverage
the advantages of permanent-magnet synchronous motors.
