SEW-EURODRIVE Introduces New IE5 Ultra-Premium Efficiency Motor

Engineering The Future of Energy Efficiency in Motion

The SEW-EURODRIVE DR2C motor series utilizes Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) technology, which integrates permanent magnets within the rotor instead of surface-mounted. This design increases torque density and achieves the highest normative efficiency class IE5, resulting in energy losses up to 50% lower than those of standard IE3 asynchronous motors in the same power class - achieving superior energy efficiency across the entire speed range. This leads to lower operating costs, extended service life, and reduced environmental impact—all without compromising power or performance.

Power Without Compromise – Even in Tight Spaces

SEW-EURODRIVE’s DR2C Permanent Magnet Motor delivers maximum torque in a compact design, making it up to two frame sizes smaller than comparable IE3 asynchronous motors. This high-power density is achieved through advanced Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) technology, ensuring exceptional efficiency and performance for heavy-load applications. Additionally, the DR2C’s low inherent mass inertia minimizes energy losses during acceleration, further enhancing its dynamic response and overall efficiency.
