MEASUREMENT & MONITORING
THE WG20 MOTOR SERIES
WEG
Energy saving motors to exhibit at MACH 2020
Leading mechanical equipment
manufacturer, WEG, will exhibit its extensive
range of motors, drives and soft starters
at MACH 2020 in Hall 7, booth 727. As the
UK’s largest manufacturing show, MACH is
held at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC)
in Birmingham from Monday April 20 to
Saturday April 25, 2020.
At the show, WEG will exhibit the WG20
motor series, the first geared motor range
to be entirely developed in-house at WEG.
Comprising helical, parallel shaft and helical
bevel gear units, the model boast torques
between 50 and 18,000 Nm.
Manufactured with a light aluminium
housing, the WG20 motor delivers
high efficiency performance, without
compromising on its sophisticated design.
In fact, the cleverly designed aluminium
housing of the WG20 motor enhances
its energy efficiency. By improving heat
conductivity, the housing encourages heat
dissipation from the motors internal parts
and prolongs its lifespan.
WEG will also exhibit the W22 3 phase
motor. This motor range has been
developed to provide high levels of
performance while also delivering maximum
energy efficiency. The motor includes a
newly developed cooling system, which
has been redesigned to provide improved
air flow through the motors frame to
maintain a low operational temperature.
A range of W22 motors for standard
use, as well as the W22Xd for use in
explosive atmospheres will be showcased
at the stand. For customers seeking
motors for aggressive applications, WEG
representatives will be available to explain
how the intelligent design features of the
W22Xd, such as the exclusive bearing
sealing system, makes it an ideal product
for these environments.
The W22Xd version has evolved
specifically for deployment in explosive
atmospheres. Building on the same design
concepts as the successful W22, the
W22Xd encompasses a new frame design,
which ensures higher mechanical stiffness.
Redesigned end shields have also been
introduced to reduce bearing operating
temperatures and therefore decrease the
frequency of re-lubrication.
“Manufacturers are increasingly looking for
ways to improve the energy efficiency of
their facilities — and many machine builders
will be seeking products to achieve
this during their visit to MACH 2020,”
explained Marek Lukaszczyk, European
marketing manager at WEG. “WEG’s range
of industrial motors ensures factories can
achieve their ambitious efficiency goals,
without compromising on the performance
of their equipment or dramatically
increasing costs.
“In fact, the WG20 geared motor provides
an optimal programme for lowering
operational costs. Due to the standard
mounting dimensions, users benefit
from easy interchangeability without the
need for system conversion. Moreover,
the WG20 can be switched to different
voltages around the world and meets many
certifications for international markets.”
Alongside the WG20 and W22 motor
series, WEG will also exhibit products
from its extensive range of drives and
soft starters. Please visit Hall 7, booth
727 at MACH 2020 for a demonstration,
