Family-specific technical guidance

Compare EC Motor Frame Sizes

Select the motor architecture first, then compare supply, power, speed and torque within that family. Frame-size figures are representative starting points; final performance is confirmed against the winding, controller and duty.

Frame sizes20–300 mm across four families
Output examples8 W–5.0 kW, model dependent
Supply examples12–48 VDC / 200–480 VAC, family dependent
ControlIntegrated or matched electronics

How to read the data: Power, speed, torque, efficiency and peak values describe typical configurations or ranges. Their maximum values must not be combined as one simultaneous operating point. Voltage, cooling, winding, control and duty determine the final rating.
