Electric generators

For any piece of equipment to work properly, you need areliable electric motor that delivers consistent power, reasonable energy consumption and a long service life. We offer solutions for workshops, domestic appliances, compressors, pumps, saws and more, where the right voltage, power, speed and design are crucial. If you’re looking at electric motor prices, comparing electric motors based on specifications, or searching for aspecific single-phase or three-phase electric motor, you’ve come to the right place.

In this category, you will find 

• single-phase electric motors for general use in workshops, at home or in smaller businesses, 

• three-phase electric motors for more powerful and stable applications, 

• foot-mounted electric motors and flange-mounted electric motors depending on the mounting method, 

• models with standard and higher speeds, 

• selected solutions such as speed-controlled electric motors, electric motors with frequency converters, or electric motors with gearboxes, electric motors with gear units or electric motors with pulleys.

Selection guide

So, if you are currently deciding which electric motor is best for you, first clarify what it needs to drive, how often it will operate, and what power supply you have available. Before purchasing, answer these questions:

• Do you have a 230 V or 380 Vpower supply available ?

• What power does the equipment the motor is to drive require?

• Do you require lower or higher speeds?

• Will the motor be mounted via a foot, flange or pulley?

• Is it intended for short-term or long-term operation under load?

How do you choose the right electric motor?

Choosing an electric motor doesn’t have to be complicated if you focus on practical application. In practice, the key factors are whether the motor can handle prolonged operation, whether it is suitable for your power supply, and whether it will fit the specific machine. 

Our tip

When choosing, don’t just look at the power rating. Also check the voltage, speed, dimensions, mounting, shaft diameter and space for motor cooling.

What parameters should you look at when choosing an electric motor?

Be sure to look closely at: voltage, power in kW, speed and mounting method. It is precisely these parameters that determine whether the motor will be suitable for you for use in a home workshop, in a compressor, pump, saw or in some more powerful equipment.

Voltage: 230 V or 380 V?

For standard use in a home workshop ,a single-phase 230 V electric motoris particularly suitable , as it does not require a three-phase supply.

For more demanding machines and professional use , a380 Vthree-phase electric motoris the better choice , offering more stable operation and better performance under load.

Power: how many kW do you need?

Power determines whether the motor will operate with sufficient headroom. Our range includes electric motors with power ratings from approximately 0.75 kW up to 5.5 kW.

For compressors, pumps or saws, the most frequently sought-after electric motorsare 2.2 kW, 3 kW, or the more powerful 4 kW and 5.5 kW models .

Speed: slower or faster operation?

If you need higher torque and more efficient power transmission, a low-speed electric motoris suitable . Where speed is the deciding factor, a high-speed electric motor makes sense .

In this category, we have models ranging from approximately 1, 400 rpm to 2,880 rpm, so you can choose according to the type of equipment.

Design and installation

When making your selection, also consider the mounting method. A foot-mounted electric motor is secured to the base via a foot, whilst a flange-mounted electric motor is designed for mounting via a flange. The electric motor shaft is also important , particularly its diameter, length and compatibility with the pulley or coupling.

Gearbox, reduction gear and pulley

If you need to transmit power via a belt, an electric motor with a pulleyis a practical choice . We offer 2.2 kW 230 V models with a pulley or 3 kW 230 V models with a pulley, which are suitable for pumps and compressors, for example.

Are you looking for a specific type of electric motor?

Not everyone is looking for a standard motor. Some people need an electric motor for a boat, others are looking for a marine electric motor, a marine electric motor with a battery, a battery for an electric motor, a rechargeable battery for an electric motor, lithium batteries for an electric motor or traction batteries for an electric motor. Others are looking for an electric motor for a bicycle, an additional electric motor for a bicycle, an auxiliary electric motor for a bicycle, an electric motor for a scooter, an electric motor for a lawnmower and more. 

So why is choosing the right electric motor important? Because too little power means overheating and a shorter lifespan. Incorrect RPM, on the other hand, reduces the efficiency of the entire machine. Choose wisely.

FAQ

How do you choose the right power rating for an electric motor?

Base your decision on what the motor is to drive, what load it will bear and how long it will run. For lighter applications , a500 W or 1000 W electric motormay suffice ; for more powerful machines, customers often look for a1500 W, 2000 W, 2.2 kW or 3 kW electric motor.

I need an electric motor with speed control. What should I look out for?

Check compatibility with the control system, the type of load, and whether you need an electric motor with a frequency converter. Such a solution is suitable where you need to adjust the power output during operation.

Do you also sell 12 V, 24 V or 48 V electric motors?

Searches for terms such as ‘12 V electric motor’, ‘24 V electric motor’ or ‘48 V electric motor’ are typically associated with specific mobile and traction applications. We mainly stock 230 V and 380 V models . 

What kind of battery do I need for a boat electric motor?

It depends on the voltage and power consumption. Most often, customers look for a battery for an electric motor, a rechargeable battery for an electric motor, lithium batteries for an electric motor or traction batteries for an electric motor. It is worth linking the electric motor category with the batteries and charging section.
