W21 Aluminium Multimounting is WEG's three-phase induction motor platform with a die-cast aluminium frame. Despite its light weight it inherits the design benefits of the W22 cast iron range and is used in a wide variety of industrial machinery worldwide.

Its defining feature is multimounting: the terminal box can sit on top or on either side, and it rotates in 90° steps so the supply cables can enter from any direction. The mounting configuration is changed without machining or modifying the feet. A single motor therefore covers every mounting variant, simplifying stock, while remaining fully interchangeable with existing cast iron motors.

The standard version comes with IE2 or IE3 efficiency, IP55 protection, class F insulation and IC411 cooling. Definite-purpose derivatives include brake, single-phase, marine and TEAO (IC418) fan-duty versions. Euronorm provides selection support and quotations for output, poles and mounting in the W21 range.

Features

Multimounting design

The terminal box can be placed on top or either side, and the mounting is changed without machining the feet.

Rotatable terminal box

The box turns in 90° steps so cables can be connected from any direction.

Lightweight aluminium frame

The die-cast aluminium frame keeps weight low for easy handling and installation.

Stock standardisation

One motor covers all mounting variants, simplifying spare parts and inventory.

Cast iron interchangeability

Dimensions are fully interchangeable with existing cast iron frame motors.

Definite-purpose versions

Brake, single-phase, marine and TEAO (IC418) fan-duty derivatives are available.

Applications

  • Pumps and fans
  • Conveyors and material handling
  • Compressors and general machine building
  • Ventilation and exhaust fans (TEAO)
