The unventilated smooth surfaced motor achieves its high efficiency over a wide torque range, making it optimally suitable for operation in the partial load range.

Thanks to its hygienic wash-down design, it is easy to clean. It also offers a high corrosion resistance – ideal for use in hygiene-sensitive areas.

With its wide frequency range, overload capacity and high power density, the compact IE5+ motor is ideal for the reduction of versions. The reduction of the used drive versions results in considerable advantages for the user like minimised administrative expenses and leaner manufacturing, logistics, storage and service processes. In combination with the high efficiency, the TCO can be considerably reduced.

The new IE5+ motor can be combined with NORD gear units and drive electronics as a modular system and will be available from the second quarter of 2020. It will be initially launched in a size for power ranges from 0.25 to 1.1 kW with a continuous torque from 1.6 to 4.8 Nm. More sizes and powers will be gradually added.

At a glance:

  • Latest generation permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM)
  • Power range from 0.25 to 1.1 kW in a single size
  • IEC B14 flange mounting, IEC B5 flange mounting, NEMA C-face flange mounting, direct mounting to all NORD gear units
  • Continuous torque of 1.6 to 4.8 Nm in a single size
  • Speed range from 0 to 2,100 rpm
  • Optionally with nsd tupH surface treatment and IP69K protection class
  • Encoder integrated into the motor as standard; optional integrated mechanical brake

New Air-Cooled 2-Stage Rotary Vane Pump from Leybold

09.01.2026 -

For around 90 years, vacuum manufacturer Leybold has been offering the TRIVAC, a universally applicable rotary vane pump. The robust, oil-sealed vacuum pump combines many advantages and is used in industrial and research applications – for generating pressures in the rough and fine vacuum range and as a backing pump that can be combined with Roots, diffusion, turbomolecular, and cryogenic pumps. Leybold has now developed the TRIVAC L, a new model of the proven two-stage rotary vane vacuum pump with optimized air cooling.
