Asynchronous motors
Reliable technology for versatile applications
Asynchronous motors, also known as three-phase asynchronous motors or asynchronous machines, are proven drives that are characterized by their robustness, high efficiency and long service life. They are optimized for a variety of industrial applications and offer an economical solution for a wide range of applications.
With sizes from 56 mm to 315 mm, protection classes up to IP66 and a voltage range from 230V to 690V AC, they can be flexibly adapted to different requirements. The power ranges extend from 0.09 kW to 500 kW – ideal for applications from smaller machines to powerful industrial systems.
Thanks to their simple design and low-maintenance technology, asynchronous motors are a reliable choice for continuous operation. They can be easily integrated into existing systems and offer excellent value for money.

How does an asynchronous motor work?
Asynchronous motors work according to the principle of electromagnetic induction. The stator generates a rotating magnetic field that induces a voltage in the rotor. This causes the rotor to move. Unlike synchronous motors, the rotor always runs at a slightly lower speed than the magnetic field – hence the term “asynchronous”.
This design has decisive advantages: Asynchronous motors do not require brushes or slip rings, making them virtually maintenance-free. The robust design makes them particularly durable, even under demanding conditions. Their speed can be flexibly controlled with a frequency inverter, which enables a high degree of adaptability to different operating requirements.

Typical areas of application for asynchronous motors
The versatility of asynchronous motors makes them a preferred choice in many industries. Their robust properties and high efficiency ensure a reliable drive in a wide range of applications.
Asynchronous motors have become indispensable in numerous branches of industry due to their reliability and long service life. They combine robust technology with economic efficiency and are suitable for a wide range of requirements.
They drive conveyor systems and transport systems and ensure smooth processes in production facilities.
Asynchronous motors are ideal for applications that require a constant speed and high efficiency, such as in ventilation systems or industrial pumps.
They are used in production systems as well as in lifting and conveyor technology where precise and reliable movements are required.
In air conditioning and ventilation systems, they ensure energy-efficient operation, while they are used in generators to produce electricity.
Here they are used in irrigation systems, mills and conveyor belts, where they ensure reliable and long-lasting operation.
