SEW-Eurodrive Introduces DR2C Motor
SEW-Eurodrive has launched the DR2C motor, an IE5 ultra-premium efficiency motor engineered for wide speed range operation and maximum long-term energy cost reductions. Designed for industries focused on minimizing total cost of ownership (TCO), the DR2C reduces energy consumption, minimizes heat losses, and enhances operational reliability—delivering a fast return on investment and sustained savings throughout its lifecycle.
The 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 percent 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.
The 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.
"The DR2C IE5 motor is more than just a motor upgrade—it’s a long-term, cost-saving strategy for businesses looking to cut energy expenses and improve efficiency," said Eder Matias, director of sales, drives control and automation at SEW-Eurodrive. "By reducing power losses and optimizing motor performance, the DR2C delivers a return on investment that companies will see reflected in their bottom-line year after year."
The DR2C Permanent Magnet Motor is ideal for industries where energy consumption and operational efficiency directly impact profitability including material handling and logistics, food and beverage, automotive and pumps, fans and compressors.
