Stainless steel motor range

Lafert has a comprehensive range of AC three-phase IEC metric stainless motors. This all metric dimensioned range gives the user/OEM complete interchangeability with the existing motor population and/or machine footprint permitting simple upgrades to a fully stainless design.

Manufactured to withstand high-pressure washdowns (IP66), even when employing chemical cleaning agents, these motors are suitable for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and process industries.

The corrosion resistance and hygienic characteristics of the 304 stainless steel motors - no paint to chip or flake - are enhanced by the motors' smooth exteriors, having no cooling fins or nameplates (data is etched into motor body) to harbour germs and dirt.

Complementing these hygienic design features are an NTN Blue double lip seal and a GAMMA seal fitted on the shaft to guard against any risk of ingress to the motor.

For internal protection against moisture, and to provide compatibility with inverter control, the motor stator windings are double vacuum and pressure impregnated and phases are insulated.

To overcome the inherent condensation problem associated with electric motors exposed to internal and external temperature differences, the motors have four quadrant drain ports in each end shield that will accept 'T' drain plugs on removal of grub screws. This ensures that there will always be a drain plug at the lowest point of the motor.

The motors are offered in power ratings from 0.18 to 7.5 kW in metric frame sizes up to 132 as TEFC machines. Smaller units (up to 0.75 kW) are also available from 63 frame size as TENV machines.

The motors are fully interchangeable with standard IEC motors. All models can be supplied with various stock modification options, plus all mounting arrangements.
